Fencing across Lane Cove Council

What we install in Lane Cove

• 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
• Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates
• Slat and louvre screens – aluminium horizontal slat, vertical slat and louvre fences, screens and gates in any powder-coat colour

Ground, access and local conditions

Steep sandstone slopes to the river; shallow soil, rock and bushland reserves on many rear boundaries.

• Steep blocks in Longueville, Northwood and Riverview mean stepped fences, retaining and careful footings – we quote after seeing the levels.
• Bush-boundary blocks choose Colorbond for ember resistance and low maintenance.
• Aluminium slat screens and pool fences suit the renovated homes and the many pools in Lane Cove and Greenwich.

Fence rules in Lane Cove 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. Lane Cove Council follows the state rules with heritage conservation areas in Longueville, Greenwich and Northwood that affect 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 Lane Cove council.
