Keysborough, in the City of Greater Dandenong, mixes estates built through the 1990s and 2000s with older, larger semi-rural properties. Estate blocks bring corner lots and the occasional developer covenant on fence type or height, while the bigger properties bring long boundaries and fences that need measuring properly on site. Soil varies from street to street, so we confirm post depth and footings at the measure. Keysborough is a straightforward drive from Heatherton and sits close to Dingley Village, Springvale and Dandenong.
A lot of Keysborough was built through the 1990s and 2000s as estates, and some carry developer covenants or design guidelines that set fence type, colour or height, particularly on corners and facing parks. Check your contract of sale or title before you order, as a covenant can override what council allows.
Estate streets mean many corner blocks, where the side boundary is also a street frontage. Council limits fences over 1m within 9m of an intersection, and a side fence within 3m of the front boundary counts as a front fence.
Pockets of older, larger properties remain, with long boundaries, sheds and sometimes old farm-style fencing. Long runs are priced from the actual length at the free on-site measure, where we also check for slope, access and any easements.
Greater Dandenong’s building permit page sets out the triggers: a masonry front fence over 1.2m, other front fences over 1.5m in some zones, a front or side street fence over 1m within 9m of a street intersection, and a side or boundary fence over 2m. A front fence includes a side fence within 3m of the property frontage, and height is measured from natural ground level. Council also warns that planning zones and overlays can add requirements, and that fences over an easement need extra care.
Read the council’s own page before you design: City of Greater Dandenong 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). On estate blocks it is common for two or three neighbours to replace fences around the same time. Splitting the cost of a sufficient dividing fence is the usual starting point under the Fences Act, and doing it together can mean fewer visits.

Keysborough is in the City of Greater Dandenong. Its building permit page is the one to check for fence height triggers, and the planning scheme zone for your street can add to them.
Not freely. Within 9m of the street corner the height limit is much lower (council’s page says over 1m triggers a permit), and a side fence within 3m of the front also counts as a front fence. We would flag it at the measure and you would confirm with council.
They can. Some estates restrict fence material, height or colour, especially facing a street or reserve. This sits outside council rules, so check your title or sale contract, or ask the developer, before you lock in a design.
