Putting up a fence is not as straightforward as just digging out foundations, putting posts in the ground and erecting a fence around your property. In Melbourne, both fencing contractors and homeowners alike need to ensure that their new fence meets the fence requirements of Melbourne. Building a legal fence in the Victorian capital means meeting what is outlined in Victoria fencing law under the Fences Act to ensure that everything is above board.

Fence contractors, or individuals, who are building a dividing fence need to be clear as to what exactly a dividing fence is outlined as under the fence requirements in Melbourne. The Melbourne fencing requirements define a dividing fence as one that is built to separate two pieces of adjoining land.

Depending on what is agreed on by each of the neighbours, the fence may or may not be located on the common boundary between the sites. If there is an obstruction or waterway on the common boundary, for example, the fence contractors may need to build the fence off of the common boundary line.

To ensure that you satisfy the fence requirements in Melbourne, you should first talk to your neighbour informally before putting up the fence. If you and your neighbour can decide together on the style and location of the fence, as well as which fencing contractors you will use, then the fencing works can continue as planned.

On the other hand, if you cannot reach a solution with your neighbour, then you will need to present your neighbour with a fencing notice. This is a formal document, which outlines the proposed construction or repair works required. Your neighbour then will have 30 days to respond to the notice, otherwise, you can go ahead and call your fencing contractors to begin the project as soon as the 30 day period has lapsed.

Typically, the owners of the adjoining properties that the fence will divide should pay an equal share towards the cost of the fence. However, if one of the two parties would like to have a more expensive fence than what is necessary, they should pay the difference. For example, they may want to use different materials, colours or a more high-spec fence profile than the basic fence that would be required to divide the two properties. In this instance, the neighbour who wants the higher quality fence will need to pay the difference in costs.

When determining what the minimum requirements are for a dividing fence, there are a number of different elements that need to be taken into consideration. These are determined on a case-by-case basis. For example. In a residential area, a 1.8-metre high timber paling fence might be required, while in a more rural setting, a simple wire fence might be enough.

Are you thinking of putting in a new residential fence on your property?
If you are a first-time fence installer or are new to New South Wales, you may not know there are a number of important rules and regulations regarding residential fencing you must adhere to in order to ensure your fence is safe, does not upset your neighbours and does not harm the local environment. Failure to follow these regulations could result in a pricey fine (and having to shell out more hard earned money to have your fence brought up to code).

Spending time outside is a great way for kids to grow and to learn. In today’s article, Amazing Fencing shares yard childproofing secrets to keep your kids safe.
Kids are naturally very curious and active. They need lots of space for running and exploring around – making your front lawn or backyard the perfect place for endless playtime. Apart from fitting your home interiors with childproofing measures, you also have to make sure the outdoor areas of your property are safe for them, too.
There are many aspects to consider when childproofing your backyard to ensure it is truly safe. Given how it is exposed to the elements, you have to consider hazards like bugs and plants. Making sure the backyard is safe for kids is of the essence.
Take a look at the following preventive measures:
If you are going to use pest and weed controls, make sure that whatever products you get are chemical-free. There are safe ways to control pest or weed infestation that are non-toxic to people.
If you really have to use these products for gardening or lawn maintenance, make sure the young ones are away from the area.
Gardening is a great activity for kids, but you have to make sure all the plants they come into contact with are safe. Always consult with horticulturists or expert gardeners regarding the plants grown in your garden.
Some plats to avoid include Yellow Oleander, Foxglove, Deadly Nightshade, Euphorbia species, White Cedar, Angels Trumpet and Azalea. Additionally, there are a range of plants that can be toxic to pets – another reason to choose your yard’s flora and fauna carefully.
Do not leave any tools not meant for children’s use lying around. Lock these items up in a shed and put away all chemicals.
The first thing you want to do is to define boundaries. How far out are children allowed to run and play? It’s easy to look after children if you are sitting within arm’s reach, but that can’t always be the case.
Fences are a great solution for enclosing the yard, and we have many types available to suit all budgets and homes – timber, slats, screen, colorbond, and permasteel.
Pool fencing is required by law around Australia and with good reason. All it takes is one slip and a few unsupervised seconds for a child fall into a pool and drown.
Each state has its own regulations on pool fencing, but generally fences must be 1.2 metres high with no obvious climbing spots and a gate that can only swings outwards from the pool area.
Time spent outdoors contribute to a child’s holistic development. Do not be afraid to let them dig their fingers into the ground and get themselves dirty. These experiences will have a positive and lasting effect on your kids. When it comes to your child’s safety, it is always best to go with the most ideal solutions.
At Amazing Fencing, we fully understand what it takes to keep your yard looking good and functional. We install high-quality fences that will suit your every need. Give us a call now to learn more about our products and offerings.
To ensure your child will be safe in your backyard, you will want to:
When you consider that almost half of drownings in children aged 0-5 occur in backyard swimming pools, it’s little wonder that the Australian government insists a pool fence is mandatory. (more…)
Pool owners in the Sutherland Shire are set to face new pool inspection fees following recommendations from the NSW State Coroner to change pool fencing laws. (more…)
The Association of Building Consultants says that many accidents are waiting to happen in South Australian backyards, as a result of confusing regulations, homeowners having a poor understanding of pool fence safety requirements and failure to carry out regular inspections.
If you own a pool and want to make it as eco-friendly as possible there is a lot that you can do, and it is amazing the difference that even a small effort can make. The following are some of the easiest and best ways to reduce the negative impact of your pool on the environment.
The fewer chemicals you use in your pool the more eco-friendly it will be, and one of the most effective ways to reduce pool chemical use is to keep on top of the water quality in there. By conducting daily water testing you will only need to add small amounts of chemicals in order to keep your pool water clean, meaning you can avoid having to use the larger doses of chemicals required to clean pool water that has been neglected. Staying on top of your pool water quality will also be helping to save water, as the cleaner you are able to keep the water in there the fewer total water changes your pool will need.
A great way to make your pool more eco-friendly is to reduce the amount of energy you need to use to keep it clean, and an easy way to do this is by investing in a decent pool cover and putting it on whenever your pool isn’t being used. Your pool cover with keep out leaves, twigs and other debris, leaving less work for your various pool cleaners and filters to do, meaning you will benefit by having a cleaner pool at far less of a cost to the environment.
For your pool to be considered anywhere near eco-friendly it needs to be safe for the local wildlife as well as your family, with one of the best ways to achieve this being to invest in a decent pool fence in order to keep any of the local kids, critters and other animals out. So whether you have kids, pets or just want to make sure that the local wildlife doesn’t end up drowning in your pool, make sure that your pool fence is providing an effective barrier to anyone or anything unauthorized from ending up in there.
While it can be great to always have your pool water at the perfect temperature for swimming, if you are interested in making your pool more eco-friendly try and use your pool heater a little less and use the sun to heat the water instead. On those colder days you can still use your pool heater to get the water temperature just right, but when the sun is blazing throughout the summer save some energy and use the sun to heat the water instead.
The better job you do of maintaining your various pool equipment the longer it will last, and considering the amount of resources and energy that go into making all those pool supplies, the less often you need to replace those pool related items the more eco-friendly the overall running of your pool will be.
Having a backyard pool can be a lot of fun, but it is also a big responsibility. If you have a pool, make sure it is always 100 per cent safe by carrying out regular safety inspections. (more…)
Having a pool is one of the best possible features any home could have, but only if you are taking the time to look after it properly, especially during those winter months when you don’t get to enjoy the benefits of owning a pool quite so much. (more…)
Being an affluent, warm-weather country, Australia enjoys a very high number of private household pools, but as a result it also endures a high number of backyard pool drownings. (more…)
