Building a fence

If you are planning to build or repair a boundary fence on your property, you need to talk to your neighbours before work begins.

You can ask us to supply you with details of the owners adjoining properties for the purpose of fencing.

To make a request:

• completing the Application for Adjoining Property Owners Details Form (download below)
• return the document in person at any of our Customer and Library Service Centres; or
• return the document to Mitchell Shire Council
