What is a Concrete Crossover?
A concrete crossover is the section of driveway that crosses the nature strip or footpath, connecting your private driveway to the road. It is owned by the council, and any modification requires proper approval.
Reservoir residents must follow Darebin Council guidelines for:
- Width and location
- Gradient and slope
- Distance from street infrastructure (trees, pits, poles)
Best & Less Concrete ensures your crossover is fully compliant while maximising functionality and curb appeal.
