What Happens Next

We will forward your request on to neighbouring owners and suggest they contact you. We cannot be responsible if an adjoining owner refuses to contact you and in such cases other arrangements my need to be made.

Other Information

If at any time you and your neighbour reach an impasse about the fence, there are options available to you under the Dividing Fences Act. You can find more information about those options on the website of the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal - https://www.ncat.nsw.gov.au/case-types/housing-and-property/dividing-fences.html.

Please note that if your property shares a boundary with a property owned by Sheargold, the contract for your purchase of the property included a provision that exempted Sheargold from contributing to any fencing costs.

Please feel free to contact us direct should you require any further assistance.
