The crossover is the section of driveway across the nature strip and over the kerb. It sits on council land, so it has to be built to council's standard drawings and approved with a vehicle crossing permit — and in most councils it gets inspected.
We lodge the permit, organise any asset protection requirements, saw-cut the kerb, excavate, form and pour to the council's spec, then book the inspection. Doing it at the same time as your driveway saves a second setup and keeps the finish consistent.

Yes. Every Melbourne council needs a vehicle crossing permit for a new, widened or replaced crossover, and most also need an asset protection permit. We lodge them for you.
Often, yes — but council looks at street trees, power poles, pits, on-street parking and the distance to intersections. We'll check before you commit.
Most councils want crossovers in plain grey concrete to their standard drawing. Your driveway can be any finish from the property boundary in.
In most Melbourne councils the property owner is responsible for the vehicle crossing, even though it sits on council land.
