- 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
Fences that don't block floodwater in Gillieston Heights
For the Gillieston Heights urban release area, Maitland DCP 2026 says: "Any fencing of allotments in flood prone areas is to be designed so as not to restrict or divert flood waters" (10.4.3), and fencing details are to be lodged with development applications. Fencing along the Cessnock Road boundary is also to be consistent.
Separately from the DCP, a new house fence on a flood control lot isn't exempt development under the NSW Codes SEPP, so it needs approval; your section 10.7 planning certificate says whether your lot is one. See fences on flood-prone land.
Louth Park: timber post and rail
In the Louth Park urban release area, the DCP says "Any individual allotment boundary fencing within the precinct is to be of timber post and rail style, or similar open style rural fencing", with wire or galvanised mesh added "if necessary for pets, safety or security" (10.4.14). See rural fencing.
