Permeable Concrete
Permeable concrete prevents water pooling by allowing rain to drain directly into the ground, reducing runoff and flooding issues. Broadmix supplies permeable mixes across Central Victoria, offering a practical solution for drainage problems in residential and landscaping projects.
The Smarter Way to Handle Rainwater
Most driveways create a problem every time it rains. Water has nowhere to go — it pools, runs along the fence, tracks into the garage, or floods the garden bed. Permeable concrete solves this at the surface level, letting rainwater pass straight through and drain back into the ground where it belongs.
Broadmix supplies permeable concrete mixes to homeowners, builders, and landscapers across Central Victoria — including Broadford, Kilmore, Seymour, Wallan, Tallarook, and surrounding areas. If stormwater is a real problem on your block, this is worth looking at.
What Is Permeable Concrete?
Also called porous or pervious concrete, permeable concrete is engineered with interconnected voids throughout the mix. Rainwater flows through the surface and drains into the soil beneath — no pooling, no runoff, no slippery surface left behind after rain.
It handles vehicle loads and daily foot traffic just like standard concrete. The difference is what happens during and after a downpour.

Permeable Concrete Driveways
A permeable concrete driveway is one of the most practical surface upgrades for Australian homes. Traditional concrete sends all your driveway runoff somewhere — usually into garden beds, along fencelines, or towards the house. Permeable concrete eliminates the problem at the source.
It’s particularly valuable for:
- Sloped blocks where runoff is a constant issue
- Properties near waterways or with council stormwater requirements
- Driveways adjacent to gardens, lawns, or soft landscaping
- Any home where pooling water is a recurring problem after rain

Permeable vs Traditional Concrete
See how permeable concrete stacks up against traditional concrete across every factor that matters for outdoor paving.
| Feature | Permeable Concrete |
| Water drainage | Passes through surface into soil |
| Traditional concrete drainage | Runs off — creates pooling and runoff |
| Flood prevention | High — water re-enters ground directly |
| Environmental impact | Eco-friendly; replenishes groundwater |
| Surface after rain | Minimal to no water visible |
| Maintenance | Periodic pressure wash to clear voids |
