Waterwise & Council‑Aligned Permeable Paving for Perth & WA
Resin‑bound permeable paving is a fully Waterwise‑aligned surface designed to support council stormwater requirements, reduce runoff, and improve on‑site drainage. With high permeability rates and proven technical performance, it’s an ideal solution for residential, commercial, and public‑realm projects across Western Australia.
At Resibound, we install resin‑bound systems engineered to meet the expectations of councils, planners, engineers, and sustainability officers.
Why Councils Choose Permeable Resin‑Bound Paving
✔ Fully Waterwise Compliant
Supports Waterwise landscaping principles and sustainable stormwater management.
✔ High Permeability Rates
Allows water to drain through the surface and into the ground, reducing runoff and improving infiltration.
✔ UV‑Stable & Long‑Lasting
Aliphatic polyurethane resin prevents yellowing, fading, and surface breakdown under WA’s high UV exposure.
✔ Strong & Crack‑Resistant
The flexible resin system handles ground movement and vehicle load without cracking.
✔ Low Maintenance
No loose stones, no weeds, no grout lines — ideal for public spaces.
✔ Suitable for Public & Commercial Use
Perfect for footpaths, shared spaces, verges, tree surrounds, and pedestrian areas.

Stormwater & Waterwise Benefits
Supports On‑Site Infiltration
Reduces pressure on council drainage networks.
Minimises Runoff
Ideal for areas with limited drainage infrastructure.
Improves Water Quality
Filters water through the stone matrix before entering the soil.
Reduces Heat Island Effect
Natural stone stays cooler than asphalt and concrete.
Base Construction Options
Open‑Graded Base (Best for Maximum Permeability)
Allows water to pass through the entire system.
Concrete Base with Drainage Channels
Suitable for vehicle areas requiring structural support.
Hybrid Systems
Combines strength and permeability for complex sites.
We assess each project to ensure compliance with council and engineering requirements.
Colours & Stone Blends
Choose from a range of natural stone blends suitable for public and residential environments:
• Coastal quartz
• Charcoal basalt
• Warm riverstone
• Light granite
• Custom blends available
All blends are UV‑stable and engineered for long‑term colour retention.

Durable & Low Maintenance
Ideal for public spaces with high foot traffic.
Slip‑Resistant
Safe for pedestrians, prams, mobility devices, and shared paths.
Architectural Finish
A modern, seamless look that enhances public spaces.
Sustainable & Waterwise
Supports WA’s long‑term water management goals.
Installation Process
1. Site inspection & compliance assessment
2. Base preparation (Vuba mac, open‑graded or concrete)
3. SRM reinforcing mesh installation
4. Priming the substrate
5. Hand‑trowelled resin‑bound application
6. Curing period (6–24 hours)
Every installation is engineered for long‑term performance and council alignment.
