Bethania sits on the flats where the Logan River bends, with a mix of older houses, some acreage-sized blocks and newer infill. It is flat ground, mostly established, and the concrete work is dominated by replacement and by getting water to go the right way.
Worth being clear up front. This is a referral service, not a concreting business. Your job goes to an experienced, insured local concreter who works Bethania.
Common concreting jobs in Bethania
- Replacing cracked and sunken driveways
- Shed, caravan and boat hardstands and slabs
- Paths and patio slabs with proper falls
- Tank, pump and air conditioner pads
- Repairs to old slabs and broken crossovers
Flat blocks, falls and the river flats below Beenleigh
A flat block is easier to pour and harder to drain. The fall has to be designed in, and on the river flats that means thinking about where the water is going once it leaves the slab. Logan City Council maps acid sulfate soils across the low-lying parts of the city and the flats along the river are in that part of the map, so for work involving significant excavation the council's PD Hub property report for your address is the place to start. For a normal driveway or path, the excavation is shallow enough that it rarely comes into it.
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Bethania, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If you store a caravan, boat or trailer on the block, say what it weighs and where it sits. Thickness, mesh and joint spacing all follow from the heaviest thing that will ever park on the slab.
What concreting costs in Bethania
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Area and access decide most Bethania quotes. On bigger blocks a long run of plain grey concrete is better value per metre than a small decorative job. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, and the approval rules sit in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by Logan City Council and private building certifiers. Before any digging, your concreter should lodge a free Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) enquiry. Ask for the licence number and the approvals position in the written quote.

Frequently asked questions
How thick should a caravan or boat pad be?
Thicker than a path and reinforced for the load, with the design coming from the weight rather than habit. Tell the concreter what will sit on it and let them size it.
Will a new slab make my drainage worse?
It can if the falls are wrong, because a slab sheds water that soil used to absorb. A concreter who asks where the water is going before quoting is the one to use.
Do I need a BYDA enquiry on my own land?
Your concreter should lodge one before digging. It is free, it takes a few minutes, and it is how they find out what services run through the area they are about to excavate.
