The Pakenham East driveway story.
Brand-new builds, brand-new driveways.
Pakenham East PSP started major releases in 2020 with Stockland and Villawood. We see roughly 4 in 5 Pakenham East driveway jobs as new-build (no existing slab) post-handover from the volume builders - Henley, Burbank, Metricon, Dennis Family, Simonds, Coral. Each builder schedules the driveway as owner-supplied post-handover, with 12 months to complete per the covenant.
Class M with isolated H sites.
Most Pakenham East blocks are Class M (moderately reactive) clay. A small number near the eastern boundary close to the Toomuc and Bunyip River systems are Class H. We check soil class at site visit - the builder’s site report usually lists this. SL92 mesh + 100mm Class 3 base + 32MPa concrete is our minimum spec across Pakenham East.
