I live in Tarneit and doing some backyard paving. Does anyone know where to get roadbase with decent price near West Victoria?
Bunnings sell them $56 per cubic metre I need about 60.
Many thanks!

Wow - some backyard! 60 cubic metres @ 20mm thick is an area of about 3,000 sq mt
mmm is the calculator I am using wrong ?
https://www.canberraconcreterecyclers.com.au/material-calcul…
my backyard is only 42 sqm and need 130mm deep
the calculator saysTotal Size: 61.80 m3 Estimated Weight: 77.25 Tonne (1.25 Tonne per m3) Estimated Cost: $1544.97 ($20.00 per Tonne)
There is this concept called bulking factor. Divide your cubic meters by 2. Then order more if you need it… It would have been funny if you ordered 60 cubes lol
haha yea
This calculator says about the same amount

Calculator fail. 42sqm at .13m is 5.46cubic m. Round it up to 6m3, double for tonnes - 12t or pretty much one truck load.
Local quarries may supply as well.
thank you very much! yea called in local provider and they said about 6 cubic m
With that amount of aggregate better ringing up those garden supplies place like soilworx, midway or deer park garden supplies to see if they do discount on bulk volume, or go with whoever do the landscaping for you. With that volume I guess it can't be a diy thing anyway
