Braeside, in the City of Kingston, is mainly an industrial suburb, with Braeside Park taking up more than half of it, so homes are limited to a few residential pockets. Where houses do sit beside factory estates or the park boundary, a solid paling fence helps with privacy and noise. Our work is residential fencing, so we are the right call for the home rather than for factory security fencing. Braeside is only a few kilometres from our Heatherton base, next to Dingley Village and Mordialloc.
Braeside is mainly industrial, with factory estates covering much of it, so residential streets are limited. Where homes do back onto commercial land, a solid 1.8m to 2.1m paling fence helps with noise and privacy. Our work is residential fencing, so we are the right call for the home, not for factory security fencing.
The park covers more than half the suburb. For a house backing onto the park boundary, the neighbour on the other side of that fence is a land manager, not a private owner, so check with the park’s manager about the boundary and any access rules before work starts.
Parts of the area are open and exposed, and ground conditions vary from sandy to heavier soil. We set every post in concrete and confirm depth and spacing for the site at the measure.
Braeside is in the City of Kingston. Kingston’s fencing page says a timber or steel side or rear fence under 2m, more than 3m back from the street, needs no building permit, and front fences under 1.2m need no permit. Fences within 9m of a street corner over 1m need a building permit and consent. Check your zone and overlays on VicPlan, because bushland and industrial interface areas can have their own planning controls.
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). Between two private owners the Fences Act 1968 applies as usual. Where the other side is public land or a commercial owner, the process is different, so ask us at the measure and confirm the boundary with the land manager.
Braeside is one of our closest areas, only about 5 km from Heatherton, so getting a free measure booked is quick. We are based in Heatherton (we do not run a shopfront), and service Braeside as part of our wider run across Bayside and south east Melbourne.
Yes. We do residential timber paling fencing, and Braeside’s homes are close to our Heatherton base. We are not set up for large commercial or industrial security fencing.
The Fences Act cost split is between private neighbours. Where the other side is parkland, speak to the land manager about the boundary and what is allowed before you commit. We will happily quote your side.
Braeside is in the City of Kingston. Its fencing permits page is the first stop, and a free VicPlan property report will show any overlays.
