Boundary fencing between neighbouring properties is a common issue that we come across, with it not always being clear what is required by each neighbour and it can sometimes lead to frustrating disputes. One of the key questions that often arises is whether you are obligated to share the cost of a boundary fence with your neighbour. The simple answers is ‘yes, usually’. But like with many laws there are exceptions to this. Understanding the laws and regulations surrounding this matter is essential to navigate any potential conflicts smoothly. It’s something we do come across all the time and while we can’t offer legal advice or mediate with a neighbour we can give you guidance as to what the law says and also - probably more importantly and also more valuable - what we’ve seen work in our 20 years of experience to get a resolution with the minimum amount of conflict or frustration. What the Law Says In Victoria, the laws regarding boundary fencing are primarily governed by the Fences Act 1968. According to this legislation, property owners are typically responsible for contributing to the cost of constructing or repairing a "sufficient" dividing fence between their properties. The term "sufficient" is crucial here, as it implies that the fence should be adequate for the purpose it serves, which is often to separate the properties and provide privacy as well as security. Determining Responsibility The responsibility for sharing the cost of a boundary fence is generally divided equally between neighbouring property owners. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For instance, if one party wishes to construct a fence that is more expensive or elaborate than what is considered reasonable, they may be required to bear the additional cost themselves. Additionally, if one party desires a particular type of fence that exceeds the standards of what is considered "sufficient," they may be responsible for covering the extra expenses. In our experience it’s always best to communicate with your neighbour early and clearly and reach an agreement on the type and cost of the fence before proceeding with any construction. While we do our best to ensure the ‘commissioning’ client has made everyone aware of what is happening there have been rare occasions where we have turned up on site and a neighbour has blocked access due to not being in agreement. In this circumstance a fencing contractor is not able to intervene or make a determination and so it’s always best to make sure you’re all on the same page first to avoid unnecessary costs and delays. Disputes and Resolutions Disputes regarding boundary fencing can arise for various reasons, such as disagreements over the type of fence, the cost, or the condition of an existing fence in need of repair. When disputes occur, it's advisable for both parties to attempt to resolve the issue amicably through negotiation and discussion. If an agreement cannot be reached, either party can seek assistance from the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria (DSCV) or other mediation services. These organizations offer mediation services to help neighbours come to a mutually acceptable resolution. If mediation fails, legal action through the Magistrates' Court may be necessary to resolve the matter. Exceptions and Special Circumstances Certain situations may exempt property owners from sharing the cost of a boundary fence equally. For instance, if one property owner has a substantial financial advantage over the other, such as a larger or more valuable property, they may be required to contribute more to the cost of the fence. Additionally, if one property owner wishes to construct a fence for their exclusive benefit, such as enclosing a swimming pool or protecting valuable assets, they may be responsible for covering the entire cost themselves. So what’s the upshot? In Victoria, Australia, the responsibility for sharing the cost of a boundary fence with your neighbour is typically divided equally, unless there are specific circumstances that warrant a different arrangement. Understanding your rights and obligations under the Fences Act 1968 is essential for maintaining positive relationships with your neighbours and avoiding potential disputes. Communication and cooperation are key when it comes to resolving issues related to boundary fencing. By engaging in open dialogue and seeking mediation if necessary, you can often find a satisfactory solution that benefits both parties involved. If you speak to Mornington Peninsula Fences first we can help you understand yours and your neighbours obligations and guide you to find a resolution that everyone will be happy with.

So, is a fence permit or building permit required for our fence on the Mornington Peninsula, or Melbourne? This is one of the most common questions we get asked and the answer is, it depends (but, thankfully, usually not). No one likes paperwork and fence permits are not exception, so avoiding it is always the best option but making it easier to get done is the next best option and we can help. To help you we've put together this article (but your best bet is to ask us first before contacting council as we can make it a much easier process) Firstly whether you need a fence permit varies (slightly) depending on where you live. For example a fence in Sorrento, Portsea, Flinders or Rye will be governed by the Mornington Peninsula Fence guidelines for the Mornington Peninsula Council. But if you're in Brighton that will fall under the Bayside Fencing guidelines. Toorak will be City of Stonnington and Albert Park will be City of Port Phillip. You get the picture. You may need a fence permit in Sorrento but you won't need a fence permit for the same fence in Brighton. Usually the main issues is fence height (ie not too high to obstruct the amenity of a place - and this varies) or safety (the obvious one being pool fencing which has it's own very strict legislation and is governed by a state body - you can find more about that here). For fence heights it's also not always clear what that might look like as a fence height is measured from natural ground level. An example of minor differences between councils is the Mornington Peninsular Shire stipulates you need a permit for the following a front fence greater than 1.5m high but if you're in Bayside the law says you need a permit for a front fence taller than 1.2m. To make it more complicated, there are variances within each council depending on things like the materials used. For example if you are on the Mornington Peninsular Shire a front fence constructed from masonry greater than 1.2m high DOES need a permit. Confusing, right? So what do you do? The first course of action is to speak to a fencing professional who can help you navigate the fencing guidelines and fence permit requirements. We've been building fences across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula for years and knows the ins and outs.

1. EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE A licensed and insured fencing contractor can offer professional advice on which fence will suit your individual needs and have the know-how to complete the job properly. 2. NO STRESS While DIY projects can be really fun and rewarding, there are some jobs that are very costly to do incorrectly. We do not recommend installing your own fence if you are not properly trained. Not only may the fence have problems, but it could even be dangerous. 3. SAVE MONEY Although it may seem costly on initial installation, having a professional install your new fencing will decrease costs in the long run by decreasing the need for repairs and maintenance. For example, a large issue that layman installers can run into is not having the correct property lines marked before building the fence. If they install your new fence on your neighbour’s property or install it too close to your home by mistake, then you will need to remove it and start again. Also, at Mornington Peninsula Fences we produce and store our own materials so you'll be getting a much better price on materials than buying yourself! 4. INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE A professionally installed fence, especially one that includes a warranty, can often increase the value of your home. 5.
