Driveway Crossover Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of a driveway crossover, the section of driveway between your property boundary and the road, including the council application and the construction to council spec.
Your driveway crossover details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
A crossover must be built to your council's spec and usually needs an approved contractor and an inspection. Building one without approval can mean tearing it out at your cost.
The crossover (council land) and your driveway (your land) are two separate jobs with different rules. Councils set the crossover width, material and standard, and often require a bond or deposit.
💰 Ways to save
- Check your council's crossover policy first, some provide a list of approved contractors with set pricing.
- Do the crossover and driveway in one job with the same contractor to save mobilising twice.
- Ask whether a refundable bond applies, you get it back once the work passes inspection.
