Fencing in Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne and the City of Casey.
Paling and Colorbond boundaries, front fences, gates and decks across the City of Casey, from Endeavour Hills down to Cranbourne and Clyde North. Built to Casey's fence rules.
New estates and covenants
Clyde North, Cranbourne East, Botanic Ridge and the newer parts of Berwick are mostly estate blocks, and most estates have a covenant on the title that says what a front fence can look like. Some ban front fences altogether. Check the title before you plan one, because the covenant applies even where council's rules would allow the fence.
Side and rear boundaries are usually straightforward: a 1.8 m or 2 m treated pine paling fence, or Colorbond to match the neighbours.
Decks on sloping blocks
Berwick, Harkaway and Narre Warren North run up into the foothills, and plenty of backyards slope away from the house. A hardwood deck is the usual answer: it gives a flat, usable area without the cost of cutting and retaining. Jake builds decks and the fence around them as one job.
City of Casey fence rules.
- A front fence within 3 m of the front boundary needs no building permit up to 1.5 m in timber or steel, or 1.2 m in brick, concrete or similar.
- A side street fence follows the same limits: 1.5 m for light materials, 1.2 m for masonry.
- On a corner, fences within 9 m of the intersection are limited to 1 m without a permit.
- Side and rear fences need no building permit up to 2 m if they're more than 3 m from the street, or 1.5 m within 3 m of the street.
- No barbed wire on any of these without a permit.
- Check your title for covenants before you build. Many newer estates limit front fence style or height.
- Building permits in Casey are issued by a private building surveyor, not council. Council contributes $50 per metre towards a standard 1.65 m paling fence where its land adjoins yours.
From the City of Casey fencing page, checked 19 October 2026. Rules change, and covenants or overlays on your title can add more, so check with council before you build.
