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.

Permeable Concrete

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.

About the Product

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.

Driveway Focus

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

Frequently Asked Questions

It needs a free-draining base, usually a layer of open-graded crushed stone with no fine material, so water has somewhere to go once it passes through the surface. A standard compacted base of fine crushed rock will slow drainage and defeat the purpose. Your concreter or engineer will set the base depth to suit your soil and expected rainfall.

Yes, but clay soaks up water slowly, so the base is designed to hold rainwater until it can soak into the ground. On heavy clay, some designs also add a slotted drain at the bottom of the base, connected to the stormwater system. It’s worth getting advice for your block before you commit.

Yes. It has an open, coarse texture, almost like a cereal bar, because of the gaps that let water through. It can’t be trowelled to a smooth finish, so it suits driveways, paths and car parks better than areas where a slick surface matters.

Only with a product made for porous surfaces. A standard film-forming sealer can clog the voids and stop the slab from draining. If you want extra protection, ask us which penetrating products are safe to use.

It needs a crew who know how to handle it. The mix is drier and stiffer than standard concrete, so it has to be spread, compacted and covered quickly. Most installers cover it with plastic straight after placing and leave it to cure for around a week.
