Local notes for Darlington

Local conditions: flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access.

Most City of Sydney jobs are small and access-critical – rear-lane gates, short Colorbond or timber boundaries and slat screens carried in by hand.
Courtyard privacy is the usual brief – slat or louvre screens and 2.1 m fences where exempt.
Heritage conservation areas cover most terrace streets; front fences are usually palisade or masonry and need approval to change.

City of Sydney 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 Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Council website.

Fencing questions in Darlington

Do you service Darlington?

Yes. Darlington is inside our Sydney-wide service area and we quote there regularly. Site inspections and written quotes are free, and travel is included in the price.

Do I need council approval for a fence in Darlington?

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 Sydney's heritage conservation areas mean front fences on terrace streets generally need approval and must match the streetscape. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only City of Sydney Council can confirm what applies to your property.

How is a shared boundary fence paid for?

Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. We give you a copy of the quote to pass to your Darlington neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Do you do supply only?

Yes. Colorbond panels, aluminium flat top and slat kits and gates can be supplied to Darlington for you or your builder to install – ask for a supply-only price on the quote form.

Which Colorbond colour suits Darlington?

Monument, Woodland Grey, Basalt and Surfmist are the most chosen colours across City of Sydney; two-tone fences (one colour for sheets, another for posts and rails) cost no more. See the Colorbond colour chart for exact swatches.
