Meet council water runoff requirements with beautiful, durable permeable concrete. Better for the environment, better for your property.
Permeable concrete (also known as porous concrete or pervious concrete) is a specially designed concrete mix that allows water to drain directly through the surface and into the ground below. Unlike traditional concrete that sends stormwater runoff into drains — contributing to flooding and pollution — permeable concrete lets nature do its job.
It's becoming increasingly popular across Sydney as councils tighten water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) requirements. In many suburbs, permeable paving is now mandatory for new driveways and hardstand areas.
Water drains through the surface, reducing stormwater load on council infrastructure
Meets WSUD requirements for new driveways, pathways & car parks
Filters pollutants and recharges groundwater naturally
Modern, sustainable feature that buyers love
Lighter surface reflects heat vs dark asphalt
Handles vehicle traffic and lasts 20+ years
Perfect for residential driveways where councils require water-sensitive design. Handles vehicle loads with no problem.
Attractive, slip-resistant garden paths that don't puddle after rain. Water disappears instantly.
Commercial and strata car parks benefit from reduced drainage infrastructure requirements.
Non-slip, cool underfoot, and water disappears immediately — no more wet pool decks.
Council-approved crossovers that meet strict stormwater management standards.
We check soil type, drainage requirements, and council WSUD specifications. We'll tell you exactly what's needed.
A specialised aggregate base layer is installed to allow water storage and filtration before it reaches the soil below.
The permeable concrete mix is poured, finished, and cured. The porous surface is created during finishing. Ready in 3-5 days.
We install permeable concrete across Sydney's North Shore, Hills District, Ku-ring-gai Council, Northern Beaches, Inner West, and beyond. Many Ku-ring-gai suburbs now require permeable surfaces for new driveways — we know the local council requirements inside out.
Like all concrete, it can develop hairline cracks, but the porous structure actually makes it less prone to cracking than traditional concrete.
Minimal. Occasional vacuum sweeping or pressure washing keeps the pores clear. We recommend an annual inspection.
Yes — it's designed for vehicle traffic. We install it for driveways, car parks, and commercial access areas.
Slightly more upfront ($110-$150/m²), but you save on drainage pipes, pits, and council stormwater compliance costs.
In most cases, yes. We design to council specifications and can help with any approval documentation needed.
