What to Know Before Building a Fence on the Central Coast

NSW's Dividing Fences Act 1991 governs dividing fence cost sharing. Central Coast's bush interface zones near national parks may have bushfire attack level (BAL) requirements that specify non-combustible fencing materials adjacent to buildings. Central Coast councils (Central Coast Council) have varying front fence height rules, check before proceeding. Salt air exposure at coastal Central Coast suburbs including Avoca Beach and Terrigal means marine-grade fixings are recommended for fencing near the ocean. Central Coast's moderate termite pressure means treated pine fencing is standard, with Colorbond steel and aluminium being preferred for long-term low maintenance.
