I believe that councils are responsible for crossovers, so why not chat to them , and see if they will modify the driveway (no doubt at yr expense).
It seems like an extra layer of concrete, or tear up the old crossover and replace it with a more user-friendly one.
It would be worth a call to see if they will come to the party with regard to a moodification and a hopefully a partial cost-sharing
the council recently completely re-did my driveway (tore it up and new concrete); i think it was to do with it having a few cracks and being unsafe for pedestrians in our over-babied society oh well free driveway eh! went from scraping almost everytime to being completely flat
Thanks fellas, and sure Dave, if you ever come down here for a break mate, you are more than welcome to stay with us.
Just watch the front bumper on the driveway!

My uncle had a house out at Moonah (many years ago). Similar driveway issue, but he placed two steel ramps at the crossover. Now, you may not find that successful, because your crossover incorporates a footpath...but it may just give you food for thought.
We used to live in Carawa Street, Mornington. (With all the possums from the Crown Land behind the house)
Hey Steve, my workshop is in Derwent Park, virtually Moonah.
Looked at a couple of units at Mornington but Rosny is an excellent place to live. My partner recieved a bit of a refund on her insurance after moving from Geilston Bay too!! (note to self, must contact Shannons!!)
Dont think there is much I can do about the driveway, just have to remember it when I get my Caddy here from the US in regards to the GTI spoiler it will get! As I say, if I go very slowly and carefully it doesnt quite rub in the MK5. Because the Mk4 that we have isnt lowered there is no drama there.
Cheers, Andrew

Almost anywhere in Hobart is an excellent place to live
My first house was in Mortyn Pl, Howrah. View of mountain, 100metres to the beach, easy trip to Cremorne to launch the boat off the sand ..... great pub food, damn, I know why I moved to Melb, but my heart is still in Tassie.

2008 Blue Graphite GTI DSG with Latte leather. SOLD 4/9/2024
Thanks gareth, its a quiet clean place to live and the weather isnt really an issue. One thing we dont suffer from much is wild storms, occasionally windy, and when the weathers cool you can always put more clothes on, unlike when its hot!!! And when its cool it means stack loads more power in the GTI!!
I need to get rid of the top of that house in pic 2. Thats the city in that pic with the mountain behind it.
Cheers, Andrew
