Concrete Crossovers

Concrete Crossovers questions, answered
Does a crossover need a council permit?
Yes — works on the road verge generally need a vehicle crossing approval from the City of Gold Coast. We can help prepare and lodge it.
Can my crossover match my driveway?
Council standards may limit finishes on the verge. We’ll check what’s allowed for your street and match as closely as permitted.
Who is responsible for the crossover?
The crossover is the section of driveway over the council verge. It sits on council land, but the property owner pays for building and maintaining it. City of Gold Coast sets the specification.
How long does crossover approval take?
Approval times vary with council workload. We lodge the application with your driveway quote and schedule the crossover pour once the permit is issued.
Can a crossover be widened?
Often, yes. It depends on the distance to street trees, power poles, stormwater pits and the neighbour’s crossover. Council approves the new width before we cut out the old one.
