Fencing across City of Parramatta Council

What we install in Parramatta

• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Fence height extensions – 300 mm or 600 mm louvre, lattice, slat or sheet toppers on your existing Colorbond posts
• Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates
• Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ

Ground, access and local conditions

Undulating clay with sandstone in the north (Carlingford, Epping, North Rocks) and river flats along the Parramatta River.

• Parramatta, Northmead and Westmead are among our most-photographed suburbs – long Colorbond runs, lattice-top fences and Colorbond gates.
• Duplex and townhouse rebuilds around Dundas, Ermington and Rydalmere need new boundary fencing on every side, usually 1.8 m with a 2.1 m section behind the house.
• Carlingford and Epping blocks slope – sleeper retaining under the fence is common.

Fence rules in City of Parramatta 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. City of Parramatta follows the codes; heritage conservation areas in Parramatta North, Harris Park, Epping and Carlingford have front-fence 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 Parramatta council.
