What a fence quote in Lochinvar needs
- The length in metres and the height, and which boundary the fence is on
- What's there now, and whether the old fence comes out first (more than 10 m² of fibro must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist)
- Whether a neighbour shares the boundary: under the Dividing Fences Act they usually share the cost, after a fencing notice
- The ground: slope, rock, tree roots, and access for posts and materials
- Photos of the fence line and anything in the way
The Lochinvar urban release area
Maitland DCP 2026 sets landscape buffers along the New England Highway and Winders Lane in the Lochinvar urban release area, and shows "Typical Timber Boundary Fencing" for the allotments behind them (10.4.7). New estates often carry covenants about fence style and colour on the title too, so check yours before ordering.
Fencing rural and large lots around Lochinvar
On rural and R5 large-lot land, a fence is exempt development under the NSW Codes SEPP only if it's post and wire or post and rail, no higher than 1.8 m, with no outward-opening gate and hardwood or non-combustible materials on bush fire prone land (cl 2.35–2.36). A Colorbond or paling fence around an acreage house needs approval. For rural dwellings that need consent, Maitland's DCP also says front fences must stay under 1.2 m, be no more than 50% solid, and not be lapped-and-capped timber or powder-coated metal.
Boundary fences between farms are dividing fences under the Dividing Fences Act, shared equally for a sufficient fence; a stock-proof fence may be sufficient where a dearer frontage isn't. See rural fencing.

Fencing questions in Lochinvar
Can I build a Colorbond fence on acreage near Lochinvar?
Not as exempt development on rural or R5 land, where an exempt fence must be post and wire or post and rail. A Colorbond fence there needs approval.
Who pays for a fence between two farms?
Both owners usually share a sufficient dividing fence equally under the Dividing Fences Act, after a fencing notice. What's sufficient considers how both properties are used.
Are there fence rules in the Lochinvar estates?
Maitland's DCP shows timber boundary fencing behind the highway and Winders Lane buffers, and estate covenants on the title may set fence style and colour.
