Fencing Agreements
A fencing agreement, also known as a "Fencing Notice," is a legal document that sets out the terms and conditions for the construction or repair of a fence between two neighbouring properties.
In Australia, each state or territory has its own fencing laws that govern the construction, maintenance, and repair of dividing fences between properties. In most cases, the laws require both neighbouring property owners to share the cost of the fence, with each owner responsible for half the cost, unless otherwise agreed upon.
When both neighbors agree to construct or repair a dividing fence, they can enter into a fencing agreement to formalize their arrangement. This agreement should include the following:
The type and style of fence to be constructed or repaired.
The materials to be used in the construction or repair.
The cost of the fence, including the amount to be paid by each owner.
The timeline for the construction or repair of the fence.
Any additional conditions or requirements, such as access to the property during construction.
Once the agreement has been reached and signed by both parties, it becomes legally binding. In the event of a dispute, the agreement can be used as evidence in court proceedings.
It is important to note that the laws governing fencing agreements can vary depending on the state or territory in which the property is located. Therefore, it is recommended that property owners seek legal advice to ensure that their fencing agreement complies with local laws and regulations.
