Sharing a boundary fence in Victoria

Under Victoria's Fences Act, neighbours generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence, and the process starts with a fencing notice to your neighbour. Agree on the material, height and where the boundary is before the contractor starts, and keep it in writing.

Before you hire a fencing & gates in Melbourne

  • Send photos of the whole fence line, damaged sections and access points.
  • Measure the approximate length and say which material and height you want.
  • Check the boundary and discuss the work with your neighbour if it is a shared fence.
  • Ask whether the quote includes old-fence removal, posts, gate hardware and waste disposal.

Common questions

Colorbond or timber paling — which suits a Melbourne fence?
Timber paling is the traditional choice and can be repaired panel by panel; Colorbond steel needs less maintenance and doesn't rot. Either way, ask the contractor how post footings are set in clay soil.
Can only the damaged fence panels be replaced?
Sometimes. The installer needs to check whether the posts and neighbouring sections are sound enough to keep.
Who pays for a shared boundary fence?
That depends on your state, the fence and the agreement with your neighbour. Discuss the proposed fence and costs before work begins.
