Fencing Caroline Springs

Most standard fencing in Caroline Springs does not need council approval if it follows these basic specifications in the Melton City Council landscape guidelines:

• Front fencing should be no higher than 1.0 metre and should match the style and materials of the home.
• Side and rear fencing should not exceed 1.8 metres in height.
• Timber paling fences visible from the street must be capped for a cleaner, finished look.
• No high fencing is allowed forward of the building line.
• Fencing along parks or public spaces must be no higher than 1.2 metres and more than 80% see-through for passive surveillance.

Materials must be durable, such as stained timber, steel, rendered brick, or blockwork.

Fences bordering parks or public areas should be stained or painted in muted dark colours to blend into the surroundings.

If your fencing project does not meet these guidelines, such as fences over the height limits or non-compliant materials, council approval may be required. As your local Melton fencing contractors, we are familiar with local fencing regulations in Caroline Springs and can help ensure your new fence fits all council and estate requirements smoothly.

Yes, you can install a fence along a shared boundary, but it is important to discuss it with your neighbour first. Under Victorian law, both property owners usually share the cost of building or replacing a boundary fence. It is a good idea to agree on the style, material, and cost before work starts to avoid disputes later. We are happy to provide written quotes you can use when talking to your neighbour.

Yes, we handle old fence removal as part of the fence installation process. If you have an existing fence that needs replacing, we will take it down carefully, clear the site, and make sure everything is properly prepared for your new fence. We include removal and disposal costs clearly in your quote, so there are no surprises later. Our goal is to make the whole process as smooth and hassle-free for you as possible.

Yes, we install pool fencing that meets strict Victorian safety standards. Pool fences must comply with specific height, spacing, and self-latching gate rules to keep your pool area secure and legal. Whether you are building a new pool fence or replacing an old one, we make sure every detail is handled properly so you can pass compliance inspections without issues.

Start times can vary depending on the size of the project and how busy our schedule is, but we always give you a clear, honest timeline up front. In most cases, we can start work within a few weeks of quoting. We will let you know straight away if there is a longer lead time, and we will book your job properly so there are no last-minute delays. Good workmanship starts with good planning, and we make sure your fencing project is scheduled and completed on time.
