Yep if sidewall then it will have to go for a major repair if it's even repairable and likely to cost you upwards of $60 depending on who does it. If its in the tread, as far as I am aware it is illegal for tyre shops to just put a push in plug in it (you can though, buy a tyre repair kit). They will have to strip the tyre and plug/patch it from the inside. Just ring a local tyre shop to get an idea.
Sidewalls CAN be repaired legally, so long as the cords haven't been severed, but it has to be a major repar where new rubber is vulcanised into the hole and a big patch is used on the inside, seen them fixed many times like that and never seen one blow out when done properly.
Bt as stated take it to the tyre shop and let them have a look at it and they can tell you if it is repairable or not. As for the tyre repair kits most of them consist of the push in cord plugs and are only a tempory fix and require proper patching at a later date, as beadless tyre should be patched from the inside

flat refused cause of legals. 1 month old 7.50/16 dunlop clean hole is sidewall. Total flat refuse.
May be different in other states, some people may do the repaires
Just my experience was not convienent to put $230 for another new tyre.
Gooday, i had a side wall repair done recently and got a written guarantee for legality and warranty of the repair at a place in Brooklyn Vic. It cost $70.00 but cheaper than a newy. It was a truck repair facility.
