Fence: does it need approval

A boundary fence, a front fence or a screen. The height, and where it sits relative to the street, are what the rules care about.

State by state

The position on an ordinary residential lot with no overlay. An overlay on your own lot can change it.

Each row is read from the instrument named against it, on the date shown. Council controls sit on top of all of them.

What the job usually involves

Posts, rails and infill, gates, and retaining work where the ground falls away. A shared boundary fence is also a conversation with the neighbour under the dividing fences law, which is a separate question from whether the council has to be told.

What it costs

Read off published projects that carry a price. There is no estimator on this page.

No data yet. Nobody publishes this job as a project with a price on it, so there is nothing honest to read a band off.

The overlays on your lot are what decide whether the row above actually applies to you.
