Concreting cost in Sydney
Concreting is priced per square metre for a plain pour, with exposed aggregate, stamped and coloured finishes costing more for the extra material and finishing labour. Larger jobs cost less per square metre than small ones because setup, formwork and delivery are spread across more area.
The national ranges below are the honest baseline for Sydney: no published Sydney-specific figures met our sourcing bar, so local quotes land inside these bands, with NSW labour rates and disposal fees the main local variables. This edition therefore points at the national Concreting report as the canonical version until a sourced Sydney figure lands.
Price ranges by job
Figures are GST-inclusive guides compiled from published Australian cost sources. Bars sit on a shared log-scale axis (declared on the chart), so per-unit rates and whole-job prices read together; colour marks the position, money-green at the value end to ochre at the premium end.

Common questions
What is the difference between plain and exposed aggregate concrete?
Plain concrete is the cheapest structural option at $75 to $150 per square metre. Exposed aggregate exposes decorative stone in the surface and costs more at $120 to $200 per square metre for the extra material and finishing labour.
How much does a standard concrete driveway cost?
A plain 40 square metre driveway typically totals $2,600 to $6,000 supplied and installed. Choosing stamped or stencilled concrete, priced at $120 to $200 per square metre, pushes the total higher.
What does a shed slab cost?
A 20 square metre shed slab typically runs $1,500 to $3,500, depending on thickness, reinforcement and how much site preparation is needed.
Is a concrete path cheaper than a driveway?
Per square metre a path runs a similar $75 to $160, but the total job cost is smaller simply because paths cover less area than a driveway.
