The fence is 75 meters. So it's around $70 a meter. Re: Fencing Question 7May 05, 2012 4:44 pm The boundary is the side of the fence with the palings, and there is an allowance for error. If you are to build a new fence, I would suggest getting a surveyor in, caused no end of grief when I didn't with mine. Your neighbours have to pay for 1/2 the new fence provided it is a std timber fence, the contractor would cost in the asbestos removal. After the fence is up, you can clad your side with whatever you want. If you want to go with other than std palings, you pay the difference between std and cladding of your choice. In regards to "land grab", they have to occupy it for 15 years and then they have to claim it formally and you would be notified. The person making the claim has to have occupied it for 15 years, previous owners don't count. So a surveyor ($700) and new fence will will settle that matter. You can remove your own asbestos, there are special skips and procedures for doing it, in NSW some councils even have leaflets on how to do it, haven't seen any in Victoria from councils. There is a fencing act 1968 for Victoria that covers the fence bit. If your neighbours don't want to use a surveyor, you might have to wear that cost, but it's money well spent to stop disputes about where the boundary actually is. A talking dog, don't worry what it's saying, it's amazing it can even speak. Re: Fencing Question 8May 06, 2012 4:16 pm Hi, thanks for the info. I'm not worried about the land. Worst case they can have the inch or 2. I'm even happy to pay for the fence. It would be at least 50sqm of abspestos so can't DIY in Victoria. Just going to talk to the neighbors and see what they are wanting to do and go from there. Milesy. Re: Fencing Question 9May 06, 2012 5:15 pm In SA, local councils have a booklet called Fences and the Law, which contains all the do's and dont's about fencing and all the relevant forms of agreement/dispute to fill in and serve on your neighbour. They strongly advise you do this formally should any issues arise later where it becomes a he-said, she-said problem that can drag on endlessly in Court costing heaps Perhaps your council has something similar? Arfur Need to remove glass panel out of concrete without wrecking the glass to get the spa room in, any recommendations on how to do that. Thank you 0 39037 We are at the stage on our build in Kilcoy, Queensland where we need to get our fencing installed but we cant get any contact details for our neighbours to give them… 0 6154 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10410 |
