Cubic Metres (m³)
Concrete volume and cost estimator for Mornington, Mount Martha, Rosebud and the wider Peninsula
Calculate concrete requirements for slabs, driveways, coastal homes, pool surrounds and footings. Get volume and cost estimates tuned for Mornington Peninsula and bayside Victoria projects in 2026.
Designed for bayside and hinterland projects across the Mornington Peninsula region
Calculate cubic metres for house slabs, driveways, beach-house extensions, pool decks, retaining walls and shed pads from Mornington and Mount Martha down to Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento.
Includes 2026 readymix price bands suitable for Mornington Peninsula deliveries from Melbourne south-east plants and local Peninsula suppliers, with allowances for coastal exposure and distance from the CBD.
Built for mixed conditions on the Peninsula — coastal sandy soils near Port Phillip Bay and Western Port, plus reactive clays in parts of the hinterland and hillside suburbs like Red Hill and Main Ridge.

The calculator uses the standard length × width × thickness method, then applies your selected wastage allowance so you can safely order enough concrete for Mornington Peninsula projects.
Example: 6m × 4m slab at 125mm thick → 6 × 4 × 0.125 = 3.00 m³. With 8% wastage = 3.24 m³, so you would typically order 3.25–3.5 m³ from your supplier.
The following bands are typical relative price relationships between mix types; adjust the dollar values to match your latest supplier quotes for the Peninsula.
| Mix Type | Strength | Use | Indicative 2026 Price (per m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 20 MPa | Paths, light slabs | $230 – $260 |
| Reinforced | 25 MPa | Slabs, driveways | $260 – $290 |
| Heavy Duty | 32 MPa | Commercial / high load | $290 – $320 |
| Coastal / Exposure | 32 MPa | Close to bay, marine air | $310 – $360 |
| Exposed Aggregate | 25 MPa | Driveways, pool surrounds | $320 – $380 |
You can tune the delivery charges in the script section to match Mornington Peninsula suppliers; the bands below give you four zones to work with in the UI.
Typical delivery band: $130 – $180 per load, depending on load size and distance from plant.
Typical delivery band: $150 – $210 per load, allowing for longer travel and holiday congestion.
Note: Steep driveways, tight access and longer travel to Red Hill, Arthurs Seat or Western Port towns can add surcharges and may require smaller trucks or a pump.
For consistent results, measure twice, allow wastage, and consider coastal exposure when choosing your mix for Mornington Peninsula builds and renovations.
Enter the driveway length and width in metres, choose 150mm thickness for a standard residential driveway, select 8–10% wastage, pick “Reinforced (25 MPa)”, then choose the delivery zone that best matches your suburb (for example, “Central Peninsula” for Mornington or “Bay Coastal” for Rosebud or Rye). The calculator will show total cubic metres required and an estimated supply plus delivery cost.
Paths and light-use areas can usually use 100mm thickness, standard house slabs around 125mm, and driveways 150mm. Heavier vehicles, steep sites and reactive clay pockets in the hinterland may need 175–200mm and engineer‑designed reinforcement – always refer to your soil report and structural plans.
Properties close to Port Phillip Bay or Western Port are exposed to salt‑laden winds, which can accelerate corrosion of reinforcement. Exposure‑class mixes are designed with lower permeability and higher cover requirements to increase durability in these coastal conditions.
The calculator uses mid‑range per‑m³ and delivery values for Mornington Peninsula‑type projects and should be treated as budgeting guidance only. Always obtain up‑to‑date quotes from suppliers before committing to any pour.
Residential and commercial concrete in Victoria should follow AS 1379 and AS 3600, with exposure classifications for coastal sites along the Peninsula.
