Concrete Path Costs In Dunedin: A Guide For Walkways

Planning new walkways around your home or business? In Dunedin, most residential concrete path projects fall within an indicative range of $90 to $200 per square metre. This is guidance only. Final pricing is determined by independent contractors following a site visit, a measured scope, and confirmation of access and ground conditions.


Pricing is mainly influenced by excavation and trimming, site access, path width/length, slab thickness and reinforcement, curves or steps, edging, and your chosen finish. Straight, narrow side paths with a practical broom texture are situated toward the lower end; sweeping garden paths, curved layouts, decorative mixes, steps, or reinstatement works increase costs.


Local slopes and soft ground may require undercutting and additional basecourse to achieve a stable platform. Paths need controlled falls to shed water away from the house, decks, and garden beds, which can add time for boxing and set‑out. Tight corridors down the side of a house, fences, or established landscaping may slow production, requiring barrows/buggies or a small pump. Where paths cross lawn or gardens, allow for tidy reinstatement.


A standard thickness with mesh suits typical foot traffic, prams, and wheelbarrows. At driveway crossings, gateways, or step landings, contractors may specify thicker edges or heavier reinforcement to enhance safety. For grip and value, a broom or light texture is common. Decorative options, coloured mixes, contrasting borders, saw‑cut patterns, or exposed aggregate. Lift the look and require specialist finishing. Sealing is generally optional, but it improves cleanability and stain resistance.


To compare quotes fairly, ensure each proposal addresses the same scope. Check:


  • Whether pricing is inclusive or exclusive of GST
  • Slab thickness and reinforcement specification
  • Base preparation depth and base course details
  • Joint layout, falls, curves/steps, edging, and any drainage components
  • Inclusions/exclusions (removals, spoil, garden/lawn reinstatement, sealing)
  • Programme and any weather or access allowances


Many path projects take one day for excavation, trimming, and boxing, then a pour and finish on day two (weather permitting). Light foot traffic is often acceptable after 24 to 48 hours. Saw cuts and any decorative work are completed shortly after. Your contractor will advise if your site or finish needs longer protection.


Ready for tailored pricing? We coordinate multiple competitive quotes from vetted local professionals matched to your scope. Your enquiry details are shared only with selected contractors to arrange a site visit and prepare proposals. Start now, complete our CONTACT FORM or call 03 242 3176, and we’ll organise the next steps for you.

Dunedin City Council Requirements for Footpath Construction

Dunedin City Council Requirements for Footpath Construction

Dunedin City Council Requirements for Footpath Construction

At Dunners Concrete Contractor Services, we're all about making sure your masonry trail project is a success, and that includes ensuring it meets all the necessary regulations. Our hardscape experts are well-versed in Dunedin City Council guidelines, understanding the importance of safety, accessibility, and durability in every project.

Dunners Concrete Contractor Services Logo - Dunedin City Council Compliant Paths Section.

Residential Concrete Path Requirements

For residential projects, the DCC emphasises durability and aesthetics that complement Dunedin homes. Here's a closer look at the key requirements our skilled contractors adhere to:

Residential Concrete Walkway - Brockville.
  • Thickness & Strength: Residential paths must be at least 100 mm thick, using concrete with a minimum strength of about 21 MPa. This ensures a robust surface that can handle everyday foot traffic and New Zealand’s variable weather conditions.


  • Expansion Joints: To prevent cracking, expansion joints are required every 50 linear feet and at critical transition points, such as driveway entrances and roadway connections.


  • Accessibility & Drainage: Paths must maintain a maximum crossfall of 3% to comply with accessibility standards. Proper drainage is essential to prevent water pooling, though residential paths are not typically designed as primary stormwater flow paths.


  • Positioning & Permeable Surfaces: Unless impractical, residential paths should include a 1-metre permeable strip between the pathway and the property boundary. This strip, which can be landscaped or grassed, aids in stormwater management.

Commercial Concrete Path Requirements

Commercial walking tracks in Dunedin require a higher level of durability and adherence to stricter safety guidelines, given the increased foot traffic and potential vehicle usage. Here's a breakdown of the key DCC requirements our contractors are well-versed in:

Commercial Concrete Path Installation - Otago University, Dunedin - Dunners Concrete.
  • Thickness & Reinforcement: Commercial paths must be a minimum of 150 mm thick and reinforced with wire mesh or rebar. This robust construction ensures the path can withstand heavy use and potential impacts.


  • Accessibility & Safety: Commercial paths must meet higher accessibility standards to accommodate all users, including those with wheelchairs and mobility aids. Clear signage and wayfinding elements are often required to guide users efficiently.


  • Durability & Drainage: Built for high traffic, these paths are designed for longevity. Depending on location and DCC approval, they may also serve as secondary stormwater flow paths, requiring advanced drainage systems.


  • Location & Design: Footpaths in commercial areas must be well-lit and strategically positioned to allow for "casual surveillance" from nearby premises, adhering to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines.
