Fencing across City of Canada Bay Council

What we install in Canada Bay

• Slat and louvre screens – aluminium horizontal slat, vertical slat and louvre fences, screens and gates in any powder-coat colour
• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Aluminium fencing – rust-free flat top, vertical picket, blade and slat aluminium fencing for coastal and front-boundary use
• Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates

Ground, access and local conditions

Riverside slopes, clay over shale, with salt exposure along the foreshore walks and bays.

• Aluminium slat and louvre screens are popular for privacy on the renovated homes of Concord and Five Dock.
• Waterfront and bayside properties suit aluminium over steel for open fencing; Colorbond remains the choice for side boundaries.
• Rear-lane access in Drummoyne and Five Dock often means hand-carrying materials – we allow for it.

Fence rules in City of Canada Bay 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. Canada Bay Council follows those rules, with heritage conservation areas in Concord, Drummoyne and Haberfield-adjacent streets that control front fences. 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 Canada Bay council.
