Fencing and boundary walls

09c

Where the Colorbond goes and where the rendered walls go, all three lots. The fencing is John's own contractor (Harry Richards, HMR Building & Landscaping), not in Mastacon's contract, and goes in from 9–10 November 2026 (first planned for the week of 26 October; the special-order posts held it up), before the structural steel and framing, as Reeve asked on 18 September.

Colorbond, about 86 m: 1.8 m Good Neighbour (the approved fence on WD 03), Surfmist infill, timber-look aluminium posts in DecoWood Coastal Spotted Gum (Super Durable range; John, 20 Jul 2026). It runs across the whole back (18.3 m), down Dwelling 1's west side to its garage (about 26.4 m), down Dwelling 3's east side to its garage (about 29.8 m), and between Dwellings 1 and 2 from the back fence to Dwelling 1's back wall (about 11.5 m), so the patios are not open to each other. Franci asked Harry to set the dividing fences where they meet the back fence so the yards are even. The materials were ordered in August.

No fence where a garage or house wall is on the boundary: Dwelling 1's and Dwelling 3's garages, and Dwelling 3's west wall along Dwelling 2's side path. Nothing between the front yards: open (option A, decided 25 Oct), on the front yards page. The pool's glass barrier and the equipment screen are on the pool page.

The neighbour's tree beside Dwelling 1 has a 4.6 m tree protection zone drawn on WD 03 across the west fence line: post holes inside it hand-dug, no trenching.

Rendered walls: who builds them, and when? They are not part of the fencing contract: the boundary with Dwelling 2 at the pool (rear boundary to Dwelling 3's back wall, about 14.8 m), the free-standing wall behind the pool, and the two front side walls (Dwelling 1's west side, about 9.8 m, and Dwelling 3's east side, about 6.5 m, garage to street); about 38 m in all. John, 21 Oct 2026: quotes from both Mastacon and Harry. Please price them, with footings to an engineer's detail. Until the pool-side wall is built, that stretch stays open: what temporary fencing covers it? Update, 4 Nov 2026: Mastacon designs and builds the rendered walls (John, 3 Nov), as posts with infill panels rendered to look like a block wall, since the pool band beam is poured to the boundary. Asked of their engineer: Hebel/AAC-type panels rather than foam, one continuous render, about 180 mm thick, the same height, certified as the pool barrier, fixings for the wall lights; price before the build is approved. To this plan: nothing between the front yards, and the wall behind the pool and the short wall beside the pool equipment included; the Colorbond stays with Harry.
Front side walls: height and approval. What height can the rendered walls be in the front yards, forward of the garages, and do any of the rendered boundary walls need council approval or a neighbour notice? Finish to match the house render.
Fences on the retaining walls. Harry fixes the aluminium posts over steel sleeve posts where the fence sits on the new retaining walls (aluminium can't be welded to steel). Is there anything Mastacon or RWI needs to leave for that, or anything that must not be drilled?
Temporary fencing: RWI's side fencing comes down once the permanent fence is up (Reeve, 24 Sep: fencing the week of 26 Oct, removal that Friday; now from 9–10 Nov, per Harry). Mastacon's temporary fence is at the front. Please confirm the site stays secure while the rendered walls and the pool barrier are still to come.

Plan · to scaleThe fence and wall plan, drawn over Spectra's site plan (WD 03 rev H, 1:200): green is Colorbond, purple is rendered wall, dark grey is a house or garage wall on the boundary, where no fence is needed. Lengths measured off the drawing; approximate, to be checked on site
