Local notes for Chippendale

What we look for at the measure in Chippendale – flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access.

Heritage conservation areas cover most terrace streets; front fences are usually palisade or masonry and need approval to change.
Courtyard privacy is the usual brief – slat or louvre screens and 2.1 m fences where exempt.
Most City of Sydney jobs are small and access-critical – rear-lane gates, short Colorbond or timber boundaries and slat screens carried in by hand.

City of Sydney Council

Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. City of Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Council website.

Fencing questions in Chippendale

Do you service Chippendale?

Yes. Chippendale is inside our Sydney-wide service area and we quote there regularly. Site inspections and written quotes are free, and travel is included in the price.

Do I need council approval for a fence in Chippendale?

Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. City of Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only City of Sydney Council can confirm what applies to your property.

How is a shared boundary fence paid for?

Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. We give you a copy of the quote to pass to your Chippendale neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Can you remove the old fence in Chippendale?

Yes – demolition and removal of the old timber, Colorbond or brick fence is itemised in the quote, including tipping. Bonded asbestos fencing is handled by a licensed removalist we arrange.

Is the ground in Chippendale a problem for posts?

Flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access. Where we hit rock we core the hole or use flanged posts; where levels differ we build a sleeper retaining wall under the fence. Both are priced up front.
