Boundary Fencing in Lane Cove 2066

We work on boundary fencing throughout Lane Cove 2066, where the service is the dividing fence between you and your neighbour, which makes it as much a legal question as a construction one. With a mix of period cottages, apartments and larger homes on the peninsula streets, no two streets in Lane Cove present the same problem.

A boundary fence has to sit on the actual boundary, not where the last fence happened to be. Where the line is unclear or the existing fence has crept, we say so before quoting rather than building in someone else's mistake. On tight Lower North Shore blocks a few centimetres of encroachment is a real dispute, so on narrow-frontage sites we recommend confirming the line against a survey before anything is built. Sandstone sits close to the surface across much of Lane Cove, so posts are often drilled into rock and chemically anchored rather than concreted into a dug hole.

Working in Lane Cove means working with sandstone shelf under shallow soil, steepening sharply toward the river — and with a mix of period cottages, apartments and larger homes on the peninsula streets. No two streets here price the same, which is why we quote Lane Cove jobs after a free on-site measure rather than off a rate card.

Local Knowledge: Lane Cove 2066

We work across Lane Cove and the surrounding Lower North Shore suburbs, and the local conditions genuinely change the job. Lower North Shore sites are tight, steep and often heritage listed. Access is usually the hardest part of the job: narrow frontages, shared driveways, harbour slopes and sandstone shelf under a shallow layer of soil.

For boundary fencing specifically, the constraints that come up most often in Lane Cove are narrow access, sandstone shelf, foreshore building lines and heritage conservation area controls. Lane Cove Council is the consent authority for Lane Cove, so where approval is needed that is the path we work through with you — and we identify that before quoting rather than halfway through the job.

Boundary Fencing Lane Cove FAQs

Who pays for a boundary fence in Lane Cove?

Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991, owners on both sides of a boundary in Lane Cove normally contribute equally to a sufficient dividing fence. In practice that means a standard 1.8m Colorbond or timber paling fence. If one owner wants more than that, they generally fund the difference. We set our quotes out so they work as the basis of a Fencing Notice.

What is the standard boundary fence height in Lane Cove?

1.8 metres is the accepted standard for a side and rear dividing fence in Lane Cove and across Lane Cove Council's area, and it is what most exempt development provisions are written around. Front boundaries are treated differently and are usually limited to a much lower height, particularly on a corner block or in a conservation area.

What if my neighbour won't agree or won't pay?

You can serve a Fencing Notice under the Act, which sets out the proposed work and the cost split and gives the adjoining owner 30 days to respond. If there is still no agreement the matter can go to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. We give you a clear written Lane Cove quote to attach, which resolves most disputes without going that far.

How do you handle a boundary that isn't level?

Lane Cove blocks fall enough that a level fence line is rarely the right answer. We step the panels down the fall in short runs, or rake the panels to follow the ground where the style allows. Where the level change across the boundary is large, a low retaining wall with the fence built above it is usually the better solution.

Can you build the fence if the old one is on the wrong line?

We will not knowingly rebuild an encroachment. If the existing Lane Cove fence looks like it sits off the true boundary, we flag it and recommend confirming the line with a registered surveyor first. It is a small cost next to rebuilding a fence twice or arguing about it later.

Which parts of Lane Cove do you cover for boundary fencing?

All of Lane Cove 2066, plus the surrounding streets in Greenwich, Artarmon, Longueville, Northwood and St Leonards. Lane Cove is characterised by a mix of period cottages, apartments and larger homes on the peninsula streets, and we schedule around what that means on the ground rather than booking a standard slot. We give you a firm start date with the quote rather than an open-ended window.
