About retaining walls
Fence lines on sloping blocks often need retaining first, and combining wall and fence in one job gets the engineering and the levels right. Walls above roughly 600mm to 1 metre, depending on the state, need engineering or council approval, and drainage behind the wall decides whether it lasts. Concrete sleepers now dominate over timber for anything meant to outlive a decade.
Quick answers
How much does fencing cost per metre?+
Timber paling fences typically cost $75 to $130 per metre installed, Colorbond $85 to $150, tubular aluminium $120 to $250, and frameless glass pool fencing $275 to $600. Gates, old fence removal and sloping ground add to any of these. Per-metre quotes should state height and materials precisely.
Who pays for a boundary fence between neighbours?+
In every state the default is a half share each for a sufficient dividing fence, with formal notice processes if a neighbour will not engage. Anything above a basic sufficient fence, extra height, premium materials, is paid by the person who wants it. Put the agreement in writing before work starts; fencing disputes are tribunal staples.
Do I need council approval for a fence?+
Standard boundary fences up to around 2 metres generally need no approval, but corner blocks, front fences above set heights, heritage areas and anything doubling as a retaining structure often do. Pool barriers have their own compliance regime everywhere. A local fencer will know the triggers; asking costs nothing, rebuilding does.
What are the pool fence rules?+
Nationally consistent fundamentals: minimum 1200mm height, gaps no more than 100mm, a 900mm non-climbable zone, and gates that self-close and self-latch away from the pool. States layer registration and inspection on top, and certification is required at sale or lease in several. Compliance is checked in millimetres, so use a fencer who certifies their own work.
