<strong>Driveway</strong> Fact Sheet<br />
WHAT IS A DRIVEWAY?<br />
A driveway is a vehicular access point for a property<br />
adjacent to a road or street crossing over a verge,<br />
nature strip and/or footpath. In most cases, the<br />
driveway is formed from the kerb or edge of the<br />
carriageway to the property boundary.<br />
IS APPROVAL REQUIRED?<br />
Yes. To construct a new driveway or upgrade or<br />
modify an existing driveway, approval is required from<br />
<strong>Council</strong> in the form of a <strong>Driveway</strong> <strong>Permit</strong>. <strong>Driveway</strong><br />
<strong>Permit</strong>s are required to:<br />
• Protect the integrity of public assets and the<br />
function of the road system.<br />
• Ensure public safety during and after construction.<br />
• Achieve consistency across the city.<br />
A <strong>Driveway</strong> <strong>Permit</strong> application form is available for<br />

commercial driveway fees contact <strong>Ipswich</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong><br />
on 3810 6666 or by email at council@ipswich.qld.gov.au<br />
HOW IS THE DRIVEWAY TO BE CONFIGURED?<br />

standard drawings.<br />
Shape<br />
<strong>Driveway</strong>s shall be shaped with a full slab only with<br />
a cross fall that ensures stormwater runoff is not<br />
directed towards neighbouring properties or the road<br />
carriageway. Wheel tracks are not permitted.<br />
Materials<br />
<strong>Driveway</strong>s shall be constructed out of concrete, pavers<br />
or asphalt materials only.<br />
Kerb and Channel<br />
Kerb and channel shall be saw cut along the invert of<br />
the kerb and broken out to fit in the driveway slab.<br />
This includes mountable kerb and channel.<br />
Concrete Paths<br />
Where a new driveway crosses an existing concrete<br />
path, the path shall be saw cut and removed for the full<br />
driveway width. In some situations it may be necessary<br />
to remove additional path to ensure that a smooth and<br />
appropriate transition is created between the path and<br />
driveway.<br />
