To help you navigate the expenses you might be up for, we've prepared this handy information.
Concrete costs in Australia
On average, concreting can cost $20 to $55 per square metre, but prices will depend on the service, the job requirements and duration, the type of concrete you're using,
the equipment used, and the location of work.
On average, a cubic metre of concrete will cost between $200 and $300. Cheaper options might sit around $160 per cubic metre, while more expensive variants could cost up to $550 per cubic metre. Purchasing concrete in larger quantities will typically bring costs down.

Your
concrete driveway will need to be made from a durable concrete able to cope with wear and high traffic. You can anticipate a cost of $100 to $200 per square metre for materials. The construction of the driveway itself should cost a homeowner between $65 and $150 per square metre.

concrete slab, you could expect to pay as little as $50 and as much as $150 depending on quality and size.
