| Fence Height | Minimum Setback |
| Over 2.0 metres but under 3.6 metres | 1.0 metre |
| Over 3.6 metres but under 6.9 metres | 1.0 metre + 0.6 metres for every metre of height over 3.6 metres |
| Over 6.9 metres | 2.0 metres + 1.0 metre for every metre of height over 6.9 metres |
Wyndham is also one of a few cities, if any, whose fencing rules also consider the fence’s length, specifically for side and rear fencing. Provided the height isn’t more than 2.0 metres or set back within 0.15 metres of the side or rear boundary, the length should be no more than 10 metres plus 25% of the remaining boundary length.
As for the height limit, the side or rear fence should have an average height of 3.0 metres and a maximum height of 3.6 metres along the boundary. If the fence is built next to a wall, the fence can be built at the same height as the wall, whether or not it exceeds the limit.
The council also has rules governing access to daylight access to habitable room windows and recreational spaces. The idea is to provide daylight to at least 3.0 square metres and 1.0 metre clear to the sky. For fences higher than 3.0 metres, the setback from the window must be half of the height, provided they’re angled at 55 degrees from the window’s centre.
For north-facing habitable room windows (between north 20 degrees west and north 30 degrees east), the setback is as follows:
| Fence Height | Minimum Setback |
| 3.6 metres or less | 1.0 metre |
| Over 3.6 metres but under 6.9 metres | 1.0 metre + 0.6 metres for every metre of height over 3.6 metres |
| Over 6.9 metres | 3.0 metres + 1.0 metre for every metre of height over 6.9 metres |
Fences over 2.0 metres in height also shouldn’t reduce the hours of sunlight in recreational areas to less than five hours and deny the area of sunlight between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
