Local notes for Forestville

Local conditions: coastal sand and sandstone headlands on the beaches; bushfire-prone plateau suburbs inland with rock and large trees.

Pool barriers to AS 1926.1 are a constant need on the Northern Beaches; we advise on gates, latches and the non-climbable zone.
Belrose, Frenchs Forest and Terrey Hills blocks back onto bush – Colorbond for ember resistance and low maintenance.
Salt air on the beach suburbs (Dee Why, Narrabeen, Avalon, Newport) means aluminium for open fencing and pool fencing – we specify Colorbond fixings and post caps for boundary fences.

Fencing questions in Forestville

Do you service Forestville?

Yes. Forestville 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 Forestville?

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. Northern Beaches Council follows the state codes; foreshore, bushfire and heritage (Manly, Pittwater) overlays affect what is exempt. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Northern Beaches 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 Forestville neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Is the ground in Forestville a problem for posts?

Coastal sand and sandstone headlands on the beaches; bushfire-prone plateau suburbs inland with rock and large trees. Where we hit rock we core the hole or use flanged posts; where levels differ we build a sleeper retaining wall under the fence. Both are priced up front.

How soon can you start in Forestville?

Usually within one to two weeks of you accepting the quote, weather permitting. Most residential fences are finished in one to two and a half days.
