Fencing across Georges River Council

What we install in Georges River

• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
• Slat and louvre screens – aluminium horizontal slat, vertical slat and louvre fences, screens and gates in any powder-coat colour
• Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates

Ground, access and local conditions

Sandstone ridges falling to the river at Oatley, Lugarno, Connells Point and Blakehurst; flatter around Hurstville and Kogarah.

• Riverside blocks in Lugarno, Oatley and Kyle Bay are steep – stepped Colorbond and sleeper retaining walls are usual.
• New two-storey homes in Hurstville, Beverly Hills and Penshurst pair 1.8 m Colorbond side fences with aluminium slat front fencing and gates.
• Bush-backed blocks around Oatley Park and the Georges River National Park choose steel for termite and ember resistance.

Fence rules in Georges River 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. Georges River Council applies the state rules; heritage conservation areas in Oatley, Penshurst and Hurstville Grove have their own controls. 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 Georges River council.
