Monash streets mix post-war houses, period homes and new townhouses. That means a bit of everything: paling boundaries between new neighbours, picket and slat front fences, and gates for tight driveways.
Front fences in Monash
Monash sets front fence heights through the planning zone, so the limit can change from one street to the next. Check your zone before you settle on a tall front fence. Jake can talk through what's likely to be allowed on the site visit.
