Do I need Council approval for a new driveway in Canberra?
Driveway installations require ACT Government or QPRC approval. Your New Driveway is a QPRC licensed driveway contractor, which means the install and approval process for you is far more streamlined and straightforward.

How long does it take to install a driveway?
Most driveway installations in Canberra take between 1 to 5 days, depending on the material and weather conditions. Bitumen driveways are usually the quickest, while concrete and paved driveways may need extra curing or prep time.
