What a fence quote in Morpeth 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

Heritage front fences in Morpeth

Morpeth is one of Maitland's seven heritage conservation areas, so a front fence, or any fence along a road, isn't exempt development there, and removing an old fence isn't exempt demolition. Maitland DCP 2026 asks that front gardens and fencing "reflect the architectural period of the building", that original fences be kept and repaired where possible, and that new front fences be no higher than 1.2 m and open rather than solid.

For Morpeth, the DCP lists the fence types that suit each period:

• painted timber pickets (c1840–1925)
• a simple, mild steel rod palisade using flat steel bar rails (c1860–1900)
• chain-link galvanised wire mesh, woven wire (not plastic coated) or steel ribbon (c1900–1925)
• hedges behind a picket or palisade fence (1860–1900), or on their own (1900–1925)

Close Street and corner sites

In Close Street the DCP allows front fences up to 1.2 m and timber paling rear fences up to 1.8 m; on corner sites, fences are limited to 0.9 m and must be open. Painted steel and clip-lock fences aren't supported on street frontages anywhere in Maitland's heritage conservation areas.

Bolwarra's heritage area

Bolwarra is a heritage conservation area too. There the DCP says new front fencing should be no higher than 1.2 m unless the original design was higher, and "at least 25% transparent", avoiding solid brick or stone unless it's part of the original design. Bolwarra Heights and Largs, outside the conservation areas, follow the ordinary NSW rules: see fence approval rules.
