Porous Lane

Ever wanted to see Porous Lane in action? 💧 Or wondered why permeable paving is used in carparks? 🚘 Check out this short video that shows our Caufield East Reserve carpark in action with a brief explanation on the use of Porous Lane in this project. Thanks to Tyre Stewardship Australia for supporting the production of this video and to Parkinson Group for their involvement. The Caufield East Reserve permeable carpark was installed for the Glen Eira City Council with design input from E2Designlab and funding from Melbourne Water.

We're proud to see that our Kerb & Channel is featured by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC)! Already in action! 🌱🚦 Our system has been successfully installed by the Level Crossing Removal Project in Pakenham East, Merri-bek City Council, and the City of Mitcham, with more installations on the way across Australia. Interested in learning how this can benefit your project? Let’s chat! 📩 sales@porouslane.com.au

as🌿 Innovating for Greener, Smarter Cities with Permeable Pavements! 🌿 The Yarra City Council is paving the way—literally—toward more liveable and climate-resilient neighbourhoods! 🌏✨ We recently installed tree pits and parking bays in the City of Yarra, partnering with The University of Melbourne. These installations will be closely monitored to assess: ✅ Durability – How well does the pavement hold up under traffic and ground movement? 🚗💨 ✅ Cooling impact – How well can it help reduce urban heat and create cooler, more comfortable streets? ☀️⬇️ ✅ Water management – How effectively does it improve stormwater quality and reduce pollutants? 🌧️➡️🌱 🚀 Why does this matter? This innovation goes beyond infrastructure—it’s about creating climate-resilient urban spaces that support cleaner water, healthier trees, and cooler streets. By integrating smart solutions like permeable pavements, we’re building a more sustainable and vibrant future. 🌿💧 Curious about how this could benefit your project or neighbourhood?

🌱 Porous Lane goes beyond working with nature, creating safer and more accessible infrastructure🌱 Cracked and root-damaged concrete paths don’t just create obstacles—they pose real safety risks. At Araluen Centre, these hazards led to dangerous falls, making mobility a daily challenge. ✨ The impact of change? Two years after installing Porous Lane, their paths remain smooth, accessible, and easy to navigate—with zero participant falls. 💡 What makes the difference? ✅ A seamless, even surface that eliminates trip hazards ✅ Long-term durability that resists cracking and root damage By working with nature rather than against it, Porous Lane also creates safer, more resilient pathways—ensuring accessibility and peace of mind for everyone. “We chose Porous Lane after our customers experienced difficulties navigating cracked and root-damaged concrete paths with walkers and wheelchairs, leading to multiple falls and injuries. Since installing Porous Lane two years ago, our paths have been smooth, accessible, and easy to navigate. We’ve had no participant falls, and the softer surface provides added safety by reducing impact in the rare event of a fall. The transformation has greatly improved mobility and peace of mind for everyone at Araluen."  - Joshua Brouwer, GM Araluen #Accessibleinfrastructure #Sustainableinfrastructure #permeable #permeablepavement #permeablepaving #tyrerecycling #recycling #circulareconomy #innovation

🌱 Innovative, Sustainable Urban Solutions in Action! ♻️ We’re excited to share our latest 40sqm installation for Warrnambool City Council, where we repurposed 120 waste tyres to create a durable, crack-resistant surface designed to work with nature, not against it. Our material is uniquely moulded around and over existing tree roots, requiring little to no excavation. This not only minimizes disruption to urban greenery but also allows for passive irrigation, helping trees stay healthy for years to come. 🌳💧 By transforming waste into valuable infrastructure, we’re helping to build more resilient, sustainable cities. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of innovation! #CircularEconomy #SustainableInfrastructure #UrbanGreening #Innovation #permeable #permeablepavement #permeablepaving #tyrerecycling #recycling #PorousLane

Sustainable Kerb & Channel infrastructure! 🌱💧 We’re proud to have recently installed multiple sections of Porous Lane Kerb & Channel for the City of Mitcham. By integrating our fully permeable design, we’re helping to: ✅ Reduce pressure on the stormwater management system ✅ Passively irrigate trees behind the kerbs ✅ Minimize the risk of clogging with permeability along the entire kerb An innovative, simple yet effective solution for more resilient and sustainable urban landscapes!
