Clarinda, in the City of Kingston, sits right next to our Heatherton base, which makes it one of the quickest areas for us to reach. The suburb was largely developed in the post-war decades, mostly as brick family homes on regular blocks, and many of the original boundary fences are now due for replacement, often along a whole street at once. A small part of Clarinda falls in Greater Dandenong and Clayton is next door in Monash, so we confirm your council before we design anything.
Clarinda was largely developed in the post-war decades, and plenty of its original boundary fences are now several decades old. Whole streets often reach replacement age together, which makes it a good time to coordinate with the neighbours on both sides.
Like any suburb of through streets, Clarinda has its share of corner blocks. Within 9m of a street corner, fences over 1m high need a building permit and council consent in Kingston, so a tall privacy fence on a corner lot has to be set out carefully.
Clarinda is mainly Kingston, but a small part sits in Greater Dandenong and Clayton is next door in Monash. The rules differ slightly by council, so we confirm the council for your address before designing the fence.
Kingston follows the state Building Regulations. Its fencing page 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. Anything taller at the front, any fence within 9m of a street corner over 1m, and pool barriers have separate requirements. Kingston also notes that title covenants and section 173 agreements can restrict heights.
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). Original fences in Clarinda are often shared on both sides of a block, so splitting the cost with each neighbour is common. Sending the Fencing Notice early lets you line up the work for one site visit.
Clarinda is one of our nearest suburbs, only about 5 km from the Heatherton base, so measure times here are among the quickest we offer. We are based in Heatherton (we do not run a shopfront), and service Clarinda as part of our wider run across Bayside and south east Melbourne.
Very close. We are based in Heatherton, about 5 km away, so we can usually offer a free on-site measure at short notice (we ask for 24 hours) and are easy to reach if anything changes before or after the job.
Mostly yes. Council boundaries in this area are irregular, and a small part of Clarinda is in Greater Dandenong, so confirm your council from your rates notice or a VicPlan property report.
Many boundary fences here are 1.8m. 2.1m is common where a two storey home sits next door, which Kingston treats as fine for side and rear boundaries set well back from the street. Confirm with council, and we check height rules at the measure.
If a sufficient dividing fence was destroyed by an event nobody caused, the Fences Act generally treats replacement as shared. If a neighbour or their contractor damaged it, that person is generally responsible. The Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria offers free help if you cannot agree.
