FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What fence height is allowed in residential areas?
In most residential areas, fences up to 1.8 metres high can be built without council approval. Taller fences, or those built near front boundaries or on corner blocks, may require consent depending on visibility and location. It's always a good idea to check with your local council for any specific regulations or restrictions in your area. Keeping your fence within the permitted height helps avoid disputes and ensures compliance with local guidelines.
What fencing options reduce noise?
Solid panel fences are best for reducing noise from roads, neighbours, or nearby activity. Colorbond fencing is a popular option thanks to its steel construction, which blocks and deflects sound effectively. Timber fencing with lapped and capped designs can also help reduce noise transmission. The key is to use materials that are dense, without gaps, and install them to an appropriate height. Strategic placement of the fence can also improve sound dampening.
What should I do before replacing an existing fence?
Before replacing a fence, it’s important to confirm boundary lines and consult with any neighbours if the fence is shared. Check whether the existing fence needs full removal or if posts or sections can be reused. Make sure to consider access, underground services, and any trees or obstructions along the fence line. A professional installer will typically assess the site in advance and provide recommendations for safe, efficient removal and replacement.
