We never asked for any money from the neighbours, because we had changed the levels of our land it was easier to change the fence and put a plinth in the bottom, rather than build a retaining wall. You need to look up and read the dividing fences act. There’s a document online from one of the government departments that covers all sorts of questions. We notified the neighbours that we were changing the fence and they were mostly fine, except for the one neighbour where our garage went on the boundary. They wanted us to put a new fence on their side of the garage.... we didn’t do it, because the garage wall effectively is their fence.

Our garage wall will be their fence. We will replace the rest of it with colourbond from the garage back eventually but that’s going to be another whole awkward conversation as the current fence is actually crooked and cuts into our land by about 40cm by the back fence. They have build up right to the fence line so I doubt we will ever get that land back :/ Re: Our First Home with My Homes WA, Perth 19Sep 01, 2019 2:21 pm thme We replaced 2 of our 3 fences with a new colorbond one.

They advised they don’t remove existing fencing but will hire a temp fence for us for $350. Re: Our First Home with My Homes WA, Perth 20Sep 07, 2019 3:09 pm Progress pics. We have some walls!
