Got a fencing dispute?

Fence disagreements are common in NSW, but many begin because no one has confirmed where the legal property boundary actually sits.

The Dividing Fences Act 1991 provides a process for dealing with matters such as fencing work, standards and costs. But before arguing about who should pay, there is one important question to answer:

Is the existing fence on the legal boundary?

A fence that has stood for decades is not automatically proof of the boundary.

A boundary identification survey can:

• Establish the legal property boundary

• Show how the existing fence relates to it

• Identify potential encroachments

• Give both neighbours reliable evidence

• Help prevent a new fence from being built in the wrong position

If you’re planning a new fence or dealing with a neighbour dispute, establish the boundary before the conversation escalates.
