Concrete Driveway Cost Mandurah: 2026 Price Guide

What Does a Concrete Driveway Actually Cost in Mandurah?

If you are after a straight answer, a standard concrete driveway in Mandurah runs from roughly $90 to $195 per square metre supplied and laid, depending on the finish you choose. At Peel Concreters, we have been pouring driveways across Mandurah and the Peel region for years, and we believe in giving people real numbers upfront, not vague ranges that tell you nothing.

An average residential driveway sits around 60 square metres. That puts a plain grey slab somewhere between $5,400 and $6,000, while an exposed aggregate finish in the same size lands between $8,100 and $8,700. The finish you pick changes everything, so let us walk you through exactly what each option costs and what drives those prices up or down.

2026 Concrete Driveway Price Table: Mandurah

These are honest 2026 prices for the Mandurah area, supplied and laid. All prices include steel reinforcement, mesh, chairs and setup.

Prices are per square metre rates of $90 to $100 for plain grey, $100 to $110 for coloured, $135 to $145 for exposed aggregate, $185 to $195 for honed, and $80 to $130 for liquid limestone.

What Is and Is Not Included in These Prices

This is where most quotes get confusing, so we want to be clear.

What Is Included

Every price in the table above covers the full supplied and laid cost, including:

• Steel reinforcement, mesh and chairs to the correct specification
• Concrete mix from quality suppliers including Holcim and BGC
• Formwork, finishing and standard site setup
• Control joints to manage cracking over time

What Is Not Included

A few items are always quoted separately because they vary so much from site to site:

• Earthworks and excavation are priced separately based on depth and soil type
• Acid washing and sealing are not included, though we strongly recommend sealing any driveway in Mandurah
• Concrete pump hire adds cost when access is tight, which is common in Mandurah's canal estates around suburbs like Wannanup and Lakelands
• Removal of an existing slab is a separate line item if your old driveway needs to come out first

If your block sits on reactive clay, which is common across parts of Mandurah's newer estates in Baldivis and Meadow Springs, ground preparation will also affect the final price. We always assess this during the quote.

What Drives the Price Up or Down

Understanding the variables helps you budget properly before anyone turns up to measure your driveway.

Size and Shape

A simple rectangular driveway is the most cost-effective to form and pour. Curves, multiple bays, or an L-shape around a corner all add labour time and waste, which pushes the per-metre rate up slightly.

Finish Choice

Plain grey is the most affordable option. Exposed aggregate concrete driveways cost more because the surface needs to be washed back while the concrete is still green, which is time-sensitive and skilled work. Honed concrete costs the most because it requires grinding after the pour and several passes to get a smooth, consistent finish.

Site Access and Conditions

Mandurah's canal estate properties in areas like Halls Head and Falcon often have narrow side access or tight turning points. When a concrete truck cannot get close enough, a pump is required, and pump hire typically adds $600 to $1,200 to the job depending on boom size and distance.

Concrete Mix Specification

We use quality mixes from suppliers including Holcim, Boral, Hanson and BGC. The right mix matters, particularly for driveways close to the coast or canals where salt air and UV exposure are real factors. A properly specified mix with the correct water-to-cement ratio will outlast a cheaper pour by years.

Our recent post on The Advantages of Choosing a Concrete Driveway for your Peel Property covers long-term durability in more detail if you want to understand why mix quality matters for your specific location.

Mandurah-Specific Factors Worth Knowing

Mandurah is a mix of established suburbs and fast-growing new estates, and each comes with its own concreting considerations.

Older suburbs like Mandurah itself, Greenfields and Dudley Park often have existing crossovers and driveways that need removal before new work can begin. Newer estates in areas like San Remo, Lakelands and Herron sometimes have softer, sandy fill that needs compacting before we pour.

Our team regularly works across the area, including as concreters in San Remo, where new home builds are still going strong and driveway work is in high demand.

Council Rules and Crossover Approvals in Mandurah

If your driveway includes a new or modified crossover, you need to deal with the City of Mandurah before you pour.

The key rules to know:

• A residential crossover must sit slightly higher at the property boundary than where it meets the road, so rainfall drains away from the house rather than toward it
• The crossover must stay within the verge directly in front of your property
• Keep it clear of street trees, power poles and other verge assets. Check clearances with the City before we start
• The City of Mandurah may offer a contribution toward a first residential crossover. Confirm your eligibility with the City before you build
• Call Dial Before You Dig on 1100 before any verge or excavation work starts

You can contact the City of Mandurah on 08 9550 3777 or at council@mandurah.wa.gov.au to confirm current requirements. We are familiar with local crossover rules and can help you understand what applies to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a concrete driveway typically cost in Mandurah in 2026?

For a standard 60 square metre driveway, expect to pay between $5,400 and $6,000 for plain grey concrete, $8,100 to $8,700 for exposed aggregate, and $11,100 to $11,700 for honed concrete. These prices are supplied and laid and include reinforcement, but exclude earthworks, sealing and pump hire if required. The actual cost for your block depends on size, finish, access and ground conditions.

What concrete finish holds up best near the Mandurah coast and canals?

Both honed and exposed aggregate finishes hold up well in coastal and canal-side conditions, provided they are sealed properly after installation. Salt air and strong UV exposure are real factors in suburbs like Falcon, Silver Sands and Halls Head. We use quality mixes from suppliers like Holcim and Boral with the right cement-to-water ratio for these environments, and we always recommend a quality sealer to protect the surface long-term.

How long does a concrete driveway take to complete in Mandurah?

Most residential driveways take one to two days to prep and pour, depending on size and complexity. Concrete needs to cure for at least 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and around seven days before you drive on it. If sealing is included, add another day after curing. We will give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan access to your garage accordingly.

Do I need council approval for a driveway or crossover in Mandurah?

If you are building a new crossover or modifying an existing one at the verge, you need approval from the City of Mandurah first. The crossover must fall away from the property toward the road, stay within the verge in front of your lot, and avoid any verge assets like power poles or street trees. The City may also offer a subsidy for a first residential crossover. Contact them on 08 9550 3777 or council@mandurah.wa.gov.au to confirm what applies to your address before any work begins.
