Fencing regulations – Glen Eira City Council

The council advises property owners to check first if their fencing project needs a building permit to avoid inconveniences. In this regard, fences that exceed the following heights must have one before the setup begins:

1.5 metres for boundary fences within 3 metres of a street alignment
2.0 metres for boundary fences beyond 3 metres of a street alignment
1.2 metres for front fences built out of masonry (e.g., brick, stone)
1.5 metres for front fences built out of non-masonry (e.g., timber, steel)
1.0 metres for corner fences within 9 metres of a street intersection or corner
1.5 metres for any fence on a non-declared road
2.0 metres for any fence on a Declared Road

Pool barriers are required to secure a permit, regardless of their specs.

To determine whether your project requires a building permit, the council advises creating a rough sketch of your fence and emailing it to [email protected]. Then, wait for the response of the council’s Building Compliance Department.
