Canberra has a well-serviced concreting industry. Concrete driveways, paths, and slabs are in strong demand across Canberra, particularly in new estates like Molonglo Valley, Gungahlin, and Greenway where building activity is high. Canberra's cold winters (frost is common) create specific requirements for concrete mix design and curing. All concreting must comply with AS 3600. accesscanberra.act.gov.au
