Does my neighbour have to contribute to the cost of a dividing fence?
The Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW) addresses how the cost of a dividing fence is shared between adjoining land owners, where an owner wants to erect a dividing fence or wants work done on an existing dividing fence. It sets out the minimum requirements, owners may agree to arrangements exceeding these requirements. For more information refer to the Dividing Fences Laws Fact Sheet or visit the Department of Lands website.
