Rochedale South is the northern edge of the City of Logan, established through the 1970s and 1980s with decent-sized blocks and a lot of brick-and-tile. Worth knowing: Rochedale South is in Logan, while Rochedale over the boundary is Brisbane, so make sure whoever you are dealing with knows which council applies to your address.
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 Rochedale South.

How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Rochedale South, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
Because this suburb sits on the boundary, check which council your crossover approval goes to. For a Rochedale South address it is Logan City Council, and they set the requirements and the fee.
What concreting costs in Rochedale South
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 demolition drive the price. Larger blocks here often mean enough metres for the per square metre rate to work in your favour. 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
Which council covers Rochedale South?
Logan City Council. Rochedale, over the boundary, is Brisbane. It matters for crossover approvals and for anything on the road reserve.
Is a granny flat slab different from a shed slab?
Yes. A habitable structure carries more requirements, and whether an approval is needed sits in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by the council and private building certifiers.
How long should a new driveway last?
Commonly 25 to 40 years or more when the base, thickness and joints are right. Base preparation is what decides it.
