Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 18, 2020 6:37 pm My builder has informed me that I need to arrange all weather access from the street to the construction site on the block due to the length of the driveway - approximately 16m in length. They have mentioned a gravel surface will do. I am curious to know if anyone else had to do this around North Kellyville/Kellyville area in NSW and who do I approach to get it sorted? Would any trades people that do driveways be able to do this? Is this an expensive exercise? Many thanks in advance. Re: All weather access for new build - North Kellyville NSW 2May 18, 2020 11:56 pm Order several trucks of gravel in and smoothen it out with the bobcat? I wonder why your builder is not capable of doing this, considering this is clear extra $$$ for him. Re: All weather access for new build - North Kellyville NSW 3May 19, 2020 12:16 am Get recycled concrete. It's normally the cheapest form of temporary access track and it helps reuse a waste product. Ideally you want the access track cut to a level that the road base can remain and act as a base for whatever you will eventually install as a driveway. By the end of the build and all the trucks and vehicles that go up and down it's nicely compacted so it's good if it can atay. Get a good bobcat driver in, he will be able to read your plans and get the levels right then get in the materials and shape it.
