The infill on our block is above the fence plinths on one side of the block by about 200-250mm (It's not level, but will be levelled out). I think i already know the answer to this, just don't want to accept ill save to spend more money, but I expect I will need to have the fence pulled out and put in higher plinths? Along that fence a slimline water tank and stormwater outlet will need to be run out to the street down the right side of the picture. We intend on having a paved or possibly concrete path between the fence and house on the right hand side.

I guess you could put a small retaing wall on your side of the fence say one sleeper high, or use retaing wall blocks. The other alternative would be to build the retaing wall on the boundary and put the fence on the top. The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !
