LOCAL CONTEXT
What's different about asphalt work in New Town
New Town sits between the CBD and the northern suburbs, with a character that runs from older brick-and-tile homes on the slopes to medium-density units closer to New Town Road. The suburb has a lot of 1940s and 1950s housing stock where original concrete crossovers and paths are now failing and being replaced.
City of Hobart administers New Town. The majority of crossover applications here are straightforward, but the sloping terrain in the upper streets, toward Mathers Road and the rises above New Town Road, means falls need careful planning. Driveways on a steep block require proper drainage cutoffs to stop runoff channelling at speed onto the footpath or road.
New Town also has a cluster of small apartment and townhouse developments from the 1990s and 2000s with shared driveway and carpark surfaces. These body-corporate jobs are a regular part of our New Town work, strip-out and relay of shared surfaces where the original asphalt has reached the end of its serviceable life.
NEW TOWN FAQ
Questions from New Town customers
My New Town driveway is on a steep block, any special considerations?+
Steep driveways need proper drainage cutoffs at the top or mid-point to stop water gaining speed before it hits the footpath. We include a drain channel or kerb detail in the design on any grade over about 10 degrees. The council also checks that drainage from the property doesn't sheet onto public footpath.
Can you do body-corporate carpark resurfacing in New Town?+
Yes. We quote and manage body-corporate asphalt jobs regularly, shared driveways, visitor parking areas, turning bays. We coordinate with the body-corporate manager on timing and notify tenants or owners. Most shared surfaces we schedule on a weekend to minimise disruption.
My 1950s concrete crossover needs replacing, who handles that?+
We do. Old concrete crossovers that no longer meet current City of Hobart dimensional standards need to be demolished and rebuilt before the new driveway goes in. We handle the concrete break-out, the rebuilt crossover and the driveway asphalt as one package. Council may require the crossover to be rebuilt to current spec as a condition of the new driveway permit.
What's the lead time for New Town residential driveways?+
Two to three weeks from quote acceptance. Site visit within 48 hours of first contact. Permit approval from City of Hobart is typically two to four weeks, which we apply for as soon as you commit.
