Brisbane's inner city is dominated by apartments, heritage homes and commercial fitouts. Tight off-street access and council requirements make local knowledge and proper licensing especially important for trades working New Farm, West End and Woolloongabba.
Fencing in QLD is mostly unregulated except for two specific cases: pool fencing (strict regulation under Building Code of Australia + QLD Pool Safety Standard) and dividing fences (Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011 — both neighbours typically share cost equally). Always check before agreeing to share costs.

Fencing in Inner City — FAQs
Who pays for a fence between two properties?
Under QLD's Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act, neighbours share cost of a 'sufficient' dividing fence equally. If you want a higher-spec fence, you pay the difference. Always agree in writing before work starts.
What's the QLD pool fence law?
Pool fencing must comply with the QLD Pool Safety Standard — minimum 1.2m high, no climbable objects within 90cm, self-closing self-latching gate. New pools and any fence rebuild require a Pool Safety Certificate from a registered inspector.
How much does fencing cost per metre in SEQ?
As a rough guide, timber paling is lowest per metre, Colorbond mid-range, and feature or pool-compliant glass fencing the most. Site access, slope and removing the old fence all add to the price — get an on-site quote.
Do I need a permit to build a fence?
Standard dividing fences generally don't need council approval, but height limits, corner-block sightline rules, and pool fencing (which must meet the pool safety standard and be certified) are the exceptions. Check with your council for anything tall or on a boundary corner.
