Fencing Quickguide

PLEASE NOTE: The Committee is not able to provide advice about fences. If you are unable to find an answer to your question in the Fencing QuickGuide, please do not contact the Committee as we will be unable to assist you. We suggest that you contact a community legal centre (http://www.communitylaw.org.au/find_a_clc.php) or a solicitor instead.

Your neighbour fits none of the listed categories

The only other categories of persons for whom the Act makes special provision are persons occupying Crown Land under yearly licence, who are exempt from liability under the Act, and persons occupying or entitled to occupy land under the Mineral Resources Development Act, who are exempt, except where the land is a residence area.
