Fencing across Fairfield City Council

What we install in Fairfield

• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Security fencing – 2.1 m steel security panels, roll top and sliding gates for schools, churches and commercial sites
• Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates
• Timber fencing – treated pine paling, lapped and lap-and-cap on galvanised steel posts

Ground, access and local conditions

Flat to gently undulating clay; rural blocks in Horsley Park and Cecil Park have long boundaries and paddock fencing.

• Big blocks in Bossley Park, Abbotsbury and Edensor Park mean long straight Colorbond runs – the most cost-effective fence per metre.
• Acreage in Horsley Park and Cecil Park often combines Colorbond on the house boundaries with tubular or security fencing on the frontage.
• Wetherill Park and Smithfield industrial sites use 2.1 m steel security panels with sliding gates.

Fence rules in Fairfield City 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. Fairfield City Council follows the NSW codes; rural (RU) zoned land in Horsley Park and Cecil Park has different exempt-fence limits. 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 Fairfield council.
