Colorbond fencing costs $92 to $185 per metre installed in Sydney. Timber paling costs $92 to $220 per metre. Aluminium pool fencing costs $115 to $400 per metre, and frameless glass pool fencing costs $345 to $920 per metre. Site access and demolition affect the final figure.
Most Campbelltown fencing contractors refuse to publish a single number. We publish ranges, because a homeowner comparing three quotes deserves to know whether they are being overcharged.

Taking out an old fence adds $20 to $40 per metre.

Call 02 0000 0000Adjoining owners split the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally under the Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW). You serve your neighbour a fencing notice describing the proposed work and cost. If they do not agree within 30 days, the matter goes to NCAT or the Local Court.
A dividing fence sits on the common boundary between two properties. The Act treats both owners as equally liable for a fence that is sufficient for the properties involved — not for the fence one owner happens to prefer.
Your neighbour owes half the cost of a standard fence. If you want 2.4-metre Colorbond where 1.8 metres would do, you fund the difference.
The notice must describe the boundary, the proposed fence, the contractor and the cost. Serve it in writing.
An owner who damages a fence — a vehicle, a tree they failed to maintain, a removalist — pays the full repair cost.
Two columns, two owners, one clear half-share figure. Formatted so it can go straight onto a fencing notice.
A NSW pool barrier must stand at least 1200mm high, leave a ground gap no greater than 100mm, and keep a 900mm non-climbable zone clear of footholds. Gates must self-close and self-latch, with the latch at least 1500mm above ground.
AS 1926.1 sets these requirements, and the Swimming Pool Act 1992 makes them enforceable. Every pool in NSW must appear on the NSW Swimming Pool Register.
Four failures account for most non-compliance in Campbelltown backyards:
Dropped hinges are the single most common failure we find on an existing barrier.
A pot plant, tap or air-conditioning unit gives a child a foothold.
Horizontal rails on the pool side turn the fence into a ladder.
The barrier passed on install day and fails two winters later.
| Requirement | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Minimum barrier height | 1200mm |
| Maximum gap at ground level | 100mm |
| Maximum gap between vertical members | 100mm |
| Non-climbable zone | 900mm clear |
| Minimum latch release height | 1500mm |
Most dividing fences in Campbelltown qualify as exempt development and need no council approval. Approval becomes necessary for fences above the height limits, fences on heritage-listed properties, and corner-block fences that obstruct sight lines for drivers.
Exempt development rules sit in the NSW Codes SEPP and apply across Campbelltown City Council. A standard 1.8-metre Colorbond or timber boundary fence behind the building line normally proceeds without a development application. Four situations change that answer:
Height limits are lower forward of the building line than behind it.
A fence that blocks a driver's view of the intersection breaches sight-line requirements regardless of height.
Campbelltown has heritage-listed properties where exempt development does not apply.
Council assesses a wall combined with a fence on their total height, not the fence alone.
We check the applicable rules for your block before we quote.
Tell us the boundary and the slope. We will talk you through the options and the cost bands over the phone.
NSW law requires a contractor licence for any residential fencing work valued above $5,000 in labour and materials including GST. Unlicensed work attracts fines up to $22,000 for an individual and $110,000 for a company, and it voids your access to statutory warranty protection.
NSW Fair Trading issues fencing licences. Starlit Fencing Campbelltown holds licence 000000C, which you can verify on the NSW Fair Trading public register before you accept any quote. Four checks worth making on every fencing quote, including ours:
A contractor who will not supply one is telling you something.
Confirm it is current, not lapsed.
NSW requires one for residential work above $5,000.
NSW caps deposits on residential building work — a contractor demanding half up front is outside the rules.
We repair storm-damaged fences across Campbelltown, usually within the same week. We make the boundary safe first, then supply an itemised quote formatted for an insurance assessor. Call 02 0000 0000 for urgent make-safe work.
Southerly fronts and summer storms drop fences across the Macarthur region every year. A fallen boundary fence is not only an eyesore — it leaves pets and children with an open yard, and an unsecured pool barrier breaches the Swimming Pool Act immediately.
We prop or temporarily fence the opening so the yard is secure the same day where possible.
We photograph the damage and itemise materials and labour separately, which is the format most insurers require.
We replace panels, posts and rails, matching the existing fence where the rest of the run is sound.
Our process runs in five steps: phone consultation, on-site measure, fixed written quote within 24 hours, installation on a confirmed date, and a final walk-through before payment. We remove all waste from site.
We answer questions on materials, heights and cost bands over the phone.
We measure the run, assess slope, check access and identify anything that needs a retaining wall or council check.
You receive an itemised quote within 24 hours. The price does not move unless you change the scope.
We confirm a date and turn up on it. We finish most residential runs in one to two days.
We walk the fence with you, remove every offcut and old panel, and leave the site swept.

12 months to 3 years on our workmanship. 15 to 25-year manufacturer warranties on the materials.
We know which streets sit on clay, which estates run easements through the rear boundary, and which suburbs need a retaining wall first.

The team that quotes your job is the team that builds it.
Old fence, offcuts and packaging leave with us.
Fixed the lot in a day“Quoted Tuesday, fenced Thursday. The price on the invoice was the price on the quote, which is not something I can say about the last two trades I used.”
Knew the pool rules cold“They picked up that our gate latch sat too low before council did. Sorted it on the spot and explained exactly why.”
Storm damage sorted fast“Fence came down on the Sunday. They made it safe Monday morning and had the insurance paperwork itemised the way the assessor wanted.”
Most residential fence installations take one to two days. A standard 20-metre Colorbond boundary fence is usually completed in a single day. Retaining walls, gate automation and rural runs take longer.
Yes. Serve a fencing notice in writing before work starts on a dividing fence. The notice must describe the proposed fence, the contractor and the cost. Your neighbour has 30 days to respond.
Treated pine paling and standard 1.8-metre Colorbond both start around $92 per metre installed. Treated pine costs less up front. Colorbond costs less over 20 years, because it needs no painting and no paling replacement.
A 1.8-metre dividing fence behind the building line is standard and normally exempt development. Front fences face lower limits, and corner blocks face sight-line rules. Heights above the exempt threshold need council approval.
Yes. We install stepped and raked fencing on sloping blocks. Stepped fencing follows the slope in level sections with plinths closing the gaps underneath. Raked fencing follows the ground line continuously. Slope above roughly 1-in-6 usually needs a retaining wall first.
Yes. We provide a written, itemised, fixed-price quote within 24 hours of the on-site measure. We list materials and labour separately, so you can attach the quote directly to a fencing notice or an insurance claim.
Yes. Starlit Fencing Campbelltown holds NSW contractor licence 000000C and ABN 00 000 000 000, and carries current public liability insurance. NSW requires a licence for residential fencing work above $5,000.
We warrant our workmanship for 12 months to 3 years depending on the scope of the job. Separately, the materials we install carry manufacturer warranties of 15 to 25 years. We confirm both terms in writing on your quote.
A correctly installed Colorbond fence lasts 20 to 30 years. Posts set in concrete footings and a plinth that keeps steel clear of wet soil are the two factors that decide whether a fence reaches the top of that range.
