Dingley Village, in the City of Kingston, is mostly family homes built from the 1970s onwards on regular, fairly flat blocks, which makes fencing here quick and predictable. Plenty of the original boundary fences are now well past their 15 to 20 year life, and the standard ask is a 1.8m paling fence with concrete-set posts, sometimes stepped up to 2.1m for extra privacy. Sitting right next to our Heatherton base, Dingley Village is one of the quickest areas for us to reach, along with Mordialloc, Braeside and Keysborough.
Dingley Village grew from market gardens and poultry farms into a suburb mostly from the 1960s on, and many streets were built out in one wave. Boundary fences put in by the first owners, and the replacements since, tend to age together, so it is common for several neighbours in one court to need new fences within a year or two of each other.
Much of the suburb is laid out in courts and curving streets, which means plenty of wedge-shaped blocks with short frontages and long, angled back boundaries. Fence lengths on these lots are hard to guess from a street view, so we measure each run on site, including where boundaries meet at an angle.
The suburb has long had golf courses and open space within or beside it, and the former Kingswood golf course is earmarked for new housing. Homes backing onto open land, or onto future development, have a different neighbour on the other side of the fence, so we confirm who owns that land before work starts.
Dingley Village is in the City of Kingston. Kingston’s fencing permits 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. Fences over 1m within 9m of a street corner need a building permit and council consent, which matters on the many corner and court-head blocks here. Kingston also notes that title covenants and section 173 agreements can restrict fences, so check your title, and check with council before going taller or building at the street.
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). Because whole courts in Dingley Village often reach replacement age together, a neighbour is usually happy to talk. The Fences Act 1968 generally splits the cost of a sufficient dividing fence, and our free Fencing Notice tool puts the proposal in writing.
Dingley Village is about 4 km from our Heatherton base, practically next door, which makes it one of the fastest places for us to book a measure. We are based in Heatherton (we do not run a shopfront), and service Dingley Village as part of our wider run across Bayside and south east Melbourne.
Usually very quickly, since we are based in neighbouring Heatherton. We just need 24 hours notice, and the on-site measure and written quote are free with no deposit to book.
The price comes from the actual fence length, height and style, plus things like old fence removal and access. Angled boundaries simply mean more corners and sometimes extra posts, which we count at the measure rather than guess.
The Fences Act cost split applies between private neighbours. Where the land behind is public or owned by a company, the arrangement depends on that owner, so contact them before you commit. We can quote your side of the job either way.
A 1.8m treated pine paling fence on hardwood posts set in concrete is the most common, with 2.1m or lapped and capped where a two storey home or extension overlooks the yard. Colorbond is also available if you prefer steel.
Treated pine rails and palings on hardwood posts set in concrete. 1.8m, 2.0m or 2.1m high. Built to last 15 to 20 years.
