Fencing is often the first step in a Melbourne landscaping project, establishing boundaries and privacy before other work begins. Melbourne councils generally allow fences up to 2 metres on side and rear boundaries without a permit, but front fences over 1.2 metres typically require planning approval.
Colorbond fencing remains the most cost-effective option at $75-$120 per lineal metre installed, offering durability, low maintenance, and a clean look. Timber paling fences ($80-$130/lm) suit traditional homes, while aluminium slat fencing ($150-$300/lm) is popular in modern builds for its contemporary lines and air flow.
