Fencing across The Hills Shire Council

What we install in The Hills

• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• 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
• 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

Rolling shale hills with deep clay; long boundaries, sloping rear yards and plenty of mature trees along fence lines.

• Kellyville, Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills are among our most-photographed suburbs – long Colorbond runs in Slate Grey and Monument with matching double gates.
• Box Hill and Gables estates need new fencing on every lot, usually to the developer's colour palette.
• Acreage in Dural, Kenthurst and Annangrove combines Colorbond house-yard fencing with rural post-and-rail or tubular entry fencing and automatic gates.

Fence rules in The Hills Shire 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. The Hills Shire Council follows the state codes; rural-residential zones and estate covenants (Box Hill, The Gables, North Kellyville) add conditions. 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 The Hills council.
