How Much Do Automatic Driveway Gates Cost in Brisbane?

Automatic driveway gates are one of the fastest-growing things we're asked about, and the first question is always the same: what does it cost? Here's an honest guide, without the sales spin.

Why there's no single number

A driveway gate isn't an off-the-shelf product. The price depends on the width of your opening, the material, whether it swings or slides, the ground it sits on, and the automation you add on top. A single swing gate on a flat, tidy driveway is a very different job to a wide double or sliding gate on a slope with a motor, keypad and intercom.

What moves the price

• Single vs double vs sliding — sliding gates and wide doubles need heavier posts, tracks or bracing, so they sit higher up the range.
• Material — Colorbond, timber, aluminium and tubular steel all price differently and suit different looks.
• Automation — a motor, remotes, keypad, intercom and safety sensors add cost, and the wiring and power need planning in.
• The site — slope, access and how the posts have to be footed all matter.

A broad guide

As a rough guide only, a supplied-and-installed driveway gate typically ranges from around $2,000 for a simpler manual gate up to $10,000+ for a wide automated sliding setup with all the trimmings. Automation and heavier gates sit at the top of that. These are broad market ranges to set expectations — the only real number comes from a measure and quote, and ours is free.

Plan for automation even if you wait
