Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Fence - Boundary 3Apr 10, 2024 9:57 am Hi, It’s important to keep in mind that dividing fences have thickness, so it’s impracticable to expect them to be wholly constructed within the neighbouring allotment. Standard timber fence is approximately 153mm thick (post 100mm, rails 38mm, palings 15mm), if provided centre to boundary that would be 76mm inside your boundary. Blockwork fence is 190mm thick, or 95mm inside your boundary. Colorbond fence thickness is approximately 70mm (posts), or 35mm inside your boundary. If the entire fence is constructed within your boundary and this is established by an Identification Survey by a licensed surveyor, then yes, I would also expect this to be rectified or be compensated. First step would be to provide the neighbour with a copy of the survey and note your concerns in writing, and if no resolution is achieved, seek legal advice. Hope this helps!
