Fencing across Camden Council

What we install in Camden

• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates
• Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
• Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates

Ground, access and local conditions

Open Cumberland Plain and Nepean flats; new estates are cut and filled, so retaining under the fence is routine.

• New-build fencing is the usual request here: 1.8 m Colorbond in the estate colour, a side gate and a shared-cost quote for the neighbour.
• Estate covenants set colour and sometimes profile – bring your developer's design guidelines and we match them.
• Pools go in fast in Camden's new suburbs; aluminium flat top fencing to AS 1926.1 is the standard answer.

Fence rules in Camden 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. Camden Council follows the state rules, but estate design guidelines in Oran Park, Gregory Hills and Gledswood Hills add colour and front-fence conditions. Pool barriers must meet AS 1926.1-2012 regardless of council. Read our NSW pool fencing guide, and confirm anything about your own block with Camden council.
