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.

What a driveway crossover costs in Perth
A driveway crossover in Perth is priced on its width, the kerb and verge it crosses, and the local government's construction standard, since the crossover is the stretch of driveway from the street kerb across the verge to the property boundary, on council land and built to the council's spec. A single crossover is modest, while a double-width or one crossing a particular kerb profile costs more, so the width and the council requirements lead the figure, apart from the driveway inside.
Perth's local governments have specific crossover rules, and some offer a partial subsidy or rebate toward a first crossover built to standard, which is worth checking as it offsets the cost. The sandy verge gives easy excavation but must be compacted under the crossover. Many councils specify the finish, often plain or brushed concrete, and the width and splay at the kerb. The hot, dry climate is no factor for the crossover. As it is on public land, a permit, a build to the drawing, often a bond, and an inspection apply. The isolation of the WA market rarely affects a standard crossover, labour sits near the national average. A crossover is concreting and civil work by a concreter or approved contractor rather than a licensed building trade, built to council spec.
