I called them to ask about the fence and the answer was they want everything to look uniform and hence timber is a must. So we are getting timber fencing!!
I need to look up on rebate!
Thankyou. I assume your other fencing is timber? Our fences are colorbond. We had to have colorbond and a specific colour fencing for estate guidelines which we followed and the side gates are exactly the same. Not sure why they have an issue?
