Fencing in Potts Point

Potts Point is one of the suburbs we cover in City of Sydney Council – boundary fences, gates, extensions, pool barriers and retaining walls. A free measure in Potts Point, a written quote the same day where possible, and a licensed installer on the tools – that is how every job here runs.

Fencing in Potts Point

The city and its inner suburbs – Surry Hills, Redfern, Newtown, Glebe, Alexandria, Zetland, Rosebery and Erskineville – terraces, warehouse conversions and new apartment precincts on very small lots.

What we install in Potts Point

Local notes for Potts Point

What we look for at the measure in Potts Point – flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access.

  • Courtyard privacy is the usual brief – slat or louvre screens and 2.1 m fences where exempt.
  • 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.
  • 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 Potts Point

Do you service Potts Point?
Yes. Potts Point 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 Potts Point?
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 Potts Point 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 Potts Point for you or your builder to install – ask for a supply-only price on the quote form.
Is the ground in Potts Point a problem for posts?
Flat to gently sloping; tiny rear yards, shared walls, rear lanes and minimal vehicle access. 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.
