Aspendale, in the City of Kingston, is a bayside suburb with a mix of older beach-side homes, post-war houses and newer rebuilds, plus the Aspendale Gardens estate further inland. Salt air and wind off the bay are harder on bare timber than in suburbs further east, and the sandy ground needs solid concrete footings. Nepean Highway runs through the area, and fences facing a declared main road sit under their own height rules. We also work in nearby Mordialloc, Edithvale and Parkdale.
Aspendale sits right on the bay. Salt air and wind off the water are harder on bare timber than in suburbs further inland, so we suggest staining or painting new palings once they have dried out, usually 6 to 12 weeks after the build, and we do not skimp on concrete around the posts.
Coastal sand digs cleanly but gives less hold than clay, so post depth and concrete footings matter. We confirm depth and spacing for your site at the measure.
Fences facing Nepean Highway, a declared main road, sit under different front fence rules than a quiet side street. If your block has frontage to the highway or a service road, check the height limit with council before you design.
Aspendale is in the City of Kingston. Kingston says a timber or steel side or rear fence under 2m, set back more than 3m from the street, needs no building permit, and front fences under 1.2m need no permit. Fences over 1m within 9m of a street corner need a building permit and council consent. Coastal and flood overlays (such as a Special Building Overlay or Land Subject to Inundation Overlay) can apply in low-lying parts, so look up your lot on VicPlan.
Read the council’s own page before you design: City of Kingston fencing information. You can also look up your address, zone and any overlays with a free VicPlan property report. Rules change and every lot is different, so please check with council before you build. We flag height, corner and overlay questions at the on-site measure.
Sharing the cost with your neighbour. Under the Fences Act 1968, owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally, and you start by giving your neighbour a Fencing Notice (our free Fencing Notice generator does this). A lot of Aspendale homes are being renovated or rebuilt. If building work next door damaged a shared fence through negligence, the neighbour responsible is generally liable for the repair cost, which the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria can help sort out for free.
Aspendale is roughly 8 km from our Heatherton base, straight down toward the bay, so measures and installs are easy to schedule. We are based in Heatherton (we do not run a shopfront), and service Aspendale as part of our wider run across Bayside and south east Melbourne.
It can weather bare timber faster, which is why we recommend a stain or paint finish once the palings have dried. Hardwood posts set in concrete and treated pine rails and palings are our standard build either way.
Yes. Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Edithvale and Chelsea are all in the City of Kingston, so the council fencing guidance is the same across the area.
Front fence rules apply, and a declared main road has its own limit. Check with council before designing. We note it at the measure and can suggest a fence that works within the limit.
Yes. Privacy between a rebuild and an older home is one of the most common jobs. A lapped and capped 2.1m paling fence is a common choice for the side boundary, and the Fencing Notice tool helps you raise the cost share.
