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.
Quotation
Ideally a quotation should specify the following:
- the location of the fence to be erected (e.g. 'on the title boundary between No. X and No Y....'; or if the fence is to be erected elsewhere than on the title boundary, 'in accordance with the attached sketch-map')
- the length and height of the fence
- the type of fence (i.e. materials, colour [if applicable], number of railings, space between posts and approximate gap between soil level and bottom of palings or bottom rail).
- any extra costs for rubbish removal, removal of vegetation, roots or concrete etc.
A detailed quotation will lessen the chance of a dispute arising later between yourself and the contractor or yourself and your neighbour.
