Never heard of a developer paying for part of a fence when on a corner block so very lucky if you managed that. Clearly different approaches in different areas. If it was me I'd leave it be and if approached later I would be prepared to pay half if they produced an invoice although I would get my own quotes and pay half of the cheapest quote I get. Legally I don't think you are required to pay unless they have made an effort to contact you but I'd do it if they asked out of courtesy. Totally agree, legally you don't have to pay but if you want to have a good relationship with future neighbours you should pay half after they provide you with a tax invoice(make sure it has an ABN on it). I would be extremely surprised if you could get a developer to pay for corner block fencing unless it clearly stipulates this will happen in your land contract. Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 15Apr 14, 2017 4:05 pm I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know. The developer won't be paying I'm sure. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with my neighbours although they really shouldn't have done it! If they send me a bill that seems reasonable I will just pay it. If they say nothing I won't ask. I think my part of that fence would only be $500-600 anyway as it's the shortest fence as our garages join.

If they send you a bill in the future (and I would guess they won't) get at least 1 quote yourself to make sure it was reasonable. I'm not sure about wooden fences but colorbond is about $35m. I'm paying $500 for a 15m fence. Fingers crossed you don't have to pay especially since you're already up for a bit with your other corner side fencing. majestic35.weebly.com Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 17Apr 14, 2017 5:39 pm Rocchet MoniqueElizabeth I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know.

I got quoted for $65 per metre for colorbond where did you get that quote from? Melbourne fencing specialists are fencing and they say developers pay half share, may be the developers you went with wont offer but many do, I guess the business knows better than us sitting here and making decisions for the rest on a forum. If they say developers pay then they pay there is no doubt about that.

If they say developers pay then they pay there is no doubt about that. I would be happy to pm all 3 fencing contacts I have. The price I put up was an approximate cost for the half share of the fence as that was what the poster had asked. I apologise if that wasn't clear. If you were paying the entire cost the price I paid would be closer to about $70m . Maybe VIC developers work differently to those in Sydney. If you'll read my post you will notice that at no time did I suggest what you stated was incorrect or attempt to make decisions for anyone. This forum is a great way to gain inspiration and assistance from the opinions of others going through the building experience. Opinions I myself value. Hopefully those opinions are all stated as respectfully as I make sure mine are majestic35.weebly.com Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 19Apr 14, 2017 6:07 pm sajidmib Rocchet MoniqueElizabeth I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know.

I'm not saying I am right but in my experience in Victoria it is very common for big developers to have a clause in the contract stating they only need to contribute $1.00 towards fencing on land they own.
