I had visualised the driveway sloping down and the angle catching bumpers but it's the other way. Is the 1500 section at the top marrying into a path or entry? They could have shortened the top section up and rolled the top so it wasn't such an angle. 150mm out of the FFL would have helped as well. If the driveway isn't 100mm and is already suffering from movement I'd be considering my options to get the whole lot ripped out and redone The top 1500mm is at the garage height then slopes to the footpath, I have to put cars on ramps made of timber to get anything other than a 4x4 in the garage. Concreter is unwilling to rectify the issue, VCAT seems to be the only option, have been quoted 11k to rip up and re do.

No the 1500mm is at garage level. The slope downwards is towards the footpath. Re: Driveway standards and issues. 15Feb 10, 2020 7:41 pm You seemed to have issues with your FFL with your build. I wonder if the builder has not cut your site to try and save a $$ and it's left you with an additional headache Accessible Carpentry & Cabinets accessiblecarpentry@gmail.com accessiblecarpentry.com.au https://www.facebook.com/pages/Accessible-Carpentry-Cabinets/583314911709039 Re: Driveway standards and issues. 16Feb 10, 2020 7:42 pm No the front path to your house. Most driveways have a path that comes off the side and runs to the front door. Can you post a plan Accessible Carpentry & Cabinets accessiblecarpentry@gmail.com accessiblecarpentry.com.au https://www.facebook.com/pages/Accessible-Carpentry-Cabinets/583314911709039 Re: Driveway standards and issues. 17Feb 10, 2020 8:24 pm We didn't have one done as we are having a deck entrance built leading up to the front door from the foot path. Re: Driveway standards and issues. 18Apr 21, 2020 12:51 pm Just the other day the driveway has cracked all the way through and all the way across to the other side. I am now concerned to even use the driveway in anyway. It is defiantly not 100mm think and has raised completely out of the ground.

Driveway poured at 65-70mm. Lack or ableflex against driveway and garage. Driveway must be designed to access the garage. Now we need to take the concreter to VCAT to get some form of resolution. Re: Driveway standards and issues. 20Sep 06, 2020 7:15 am Your local council would have guidelines which are based I think on an Australian standard for egress and access. You should be able to download them and compare them to yours. That's what we have to do when we lodge a DA through our council. I'll post up some later.
As per your drawing, he hasn't incorporated a transition zone which basically reduces the harsh angle from driveway to garage and it is both easy to work out and to do. He is just lazy.
