Sippy Downs, 4556, grew up around the university and it shows in the mix: estate streets from the 1990s through Chancellor Park, newer releases still taking their first slabs, and family homes where the driveway now has to fit more cars than it was ever designed for. We pour driveways, patios, paths and slabs across Sippy Downs on one fixed written quote.

The ground is the flat sandy plain that runs toward the Mooloolah River, workable and free draining, with the occasional soft patch where the old paddocks held water. Compaction is quoted to the block in front of us, and falls are set deliberately because the land will not create them on its own.

The suburb’s signature job is the driveway upgrade: households with three or four cars on a two car driveway, solved with a widened concrete driveway or a properly built parking pad in broom finished plain concrete, with the crossover checked against the council checklist before any widening is formed. In the newer releases the first-time pours lean to exposed aggregate chosen from sample boards against the render.

Family life fills out the rest of the book: alfresco slabs sized for a proper table, paths before the turf goes down, and shed and studio slabs as the back corner gets organised. Pouring two surfaces on one visit brings the smaller rate down. Every range is published on the rates guide, and every job runs to the build standard.

Questions

Sippy Downs concreting questions

Is a permit required for a driveway crossover in Sippy Downs?

In Sippy Downs the crossover comes under Sunshine Coast Council. A standard crossover is self assessed against the council's checklist and needs no permit. A non standard one needs the council's written approval before work starts, with a fee the council sets. Which one yours is gets confirmed in writing with the quote.

Can a two car driveway be widened for three or four cars?

Yes, either by widening the driveway itself or by adding a properly built parking pad beside it. The kerb crossing is checked against the council checklist first, since changing its width can alter the approval path.

What is a parking pad?

A reinforced slab beside the driveway for extra vehicles. It gets the same compacted base, steel on chairs and thickness as the driveway, and is usually finished in broom finished plain concrete.

Do you pour in Chancellor Park and the newer releases?

Yes. The estate streets from the 1990s through Chancellor Park are mostly driveway upgrades and backyard slabs, while the newer releases are first time pours that lean to exposed aggregate chosen from sample boards.
