Frequently asked questions
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.
