Common questions
Does my neighbour have to pay half for a boundary fence?
In most states adjoining owners share equally in a sufficient dividing fence. Serve the required fencing notice first; if you skip the process you may carry the whole cost.
Colorbond or timber: which is better value?
Timber is cheaper upfront but needs maintenance and lasts 15 to 20 years. Colorbond costs slightly more, needs none, and typically outlasts it.
