Re: An odd fencing question? 17Dec 02, 2009 11:46 pm If there is no house built on the adjoining block, you can put up whatever fence you like, but you are unable to claim 1/2 of the cost. You can only claim it once a property is built/being built on the adjoining land. This is what I did when I built a new house in an estate. I wouldn't bother trying to find out who the neighbor is. They will have to deal with the fence once their house is built...they will not be looking at fencing as their highest priority at the start of their building process. This usually get done right near the end! http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/pco/prod/FileS ... penElement Excerpt Below: Part II — Construction of dividing fences 7. Liability of owners of adjoining lands to fence Subject to this Act the owners of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the construction of a dividing fence between those lands. 8. Notice to fence to be given An owner of land desiring to compel the owner of adjoining land to join in or contribute to the construction of a dividing fence under this Act may give him a notice which shall — (a) specify the boundary to be fenced, or if on account of the physical features of the adjoining lands it is impracticable to construct a fence on the common boundary of those lands, the line upon which it is proposed to construct the fence; (b) contain a proposal for fencing the common boundary or other line; and (c) specify the kind of fence proposed to be constructed.

Cheers pdaemon Whilst I appreciate your input pdaemon, I have a feeling it may be irrelevent to my situation as this is WA laws and I am in Victoria, I am pretty sure they stipulate different laws. Please correct me if I'm wrong though. Building Thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13002 Site start: 8th July 2009 Handover: 11/12/2009! 5 months total build time. 40 sqs of luxuary...Bliss!

Please correct me if I'm wrong though. Hi PFM, I found http://www.fencingonline.com.au/disputes/victoria.htm To be quite useful last night when i was looking at fencing regs for victoria . It has a bunch of direct links to both the regulations, a list of individual council links and info about dispute resolution etc. Worth a look if only as its a whole lot easier than trying to navigate local council websites.
