Front Fencing Sutherland Shire

Front fences visible from the street in Sutherland Shire Council are generally limited to 1.2m under exempt development provisions. Fences up to 1.8m may require a development application if they significantly obstruct views or are in heritage areas. Solid front fences over 1m in height typically need council approval. We advise on your specific address requirements during the quote.

Colorbond steel is the most popular front fencing material in Sutherland Shire for its durability, bush fire rating (important near the Royal National Park and Heathcote areas), and low maintenance. Aluminium slat fencing is increasingly popular in coastal areas like Cronulla and Sylvania for its contemporary look and corrosion resistance in salt air. Timber is best for established garden streetscapes.

Not usually. Sutherland Shire Council follows the NSW exempt and complying development provisions, so most standard front fences under 1.2m on residential land don't need a DA. However, if your property is in a heritage conservation area, bushfire prone land, or the fence exceeds height limits, a DA may be required. We check your address against council maps before quoting.
