Secure Side Gates & Privacy Fencing
A strong, lockable side entry helps separate the backyard from the street. We coordinate the pedestrian gate with the boundary fence, ground levels and access needs.
- Steel-framed side gates: Custom pedestrian gates can use structural steel frames clad in vertical timber or Colorbond to match the fence.
- Suitable locks and latches: Weather-resistant mechanical locks, latches or selected keypad systems are chosen for the household and gate.
- Full privacy: Timber paling and genuine Colorbond boundaries are scoped around removal, post positions and neighbour access.
Automatic Sliding Driveway Gates
Make practical use of the front yard with a custom sliding driveway gate. The system is measured for the opening, side runback, support structure and vehicle approach.
- Motor selection: Suitable operators can be sourced through Global Access, including selected Roger Automation and Key Automation systems, according to gate weight and use.
- Access controls: Remote controls, keypads and compatible app-based entry can be integrated with the selected operator.
- Obstruction safeguards: Safety beams, detection functions, travel limits and manual release are configured and tested for the installation.
Integrated Boundary & Retaining Packages
Where neighbouring blocks have different levels, plan the retained soil and fence together. RJL can coordinate sleeper systems, drainage and the fence above as one package.
- Timber or concrete sleepers: Material and height are selected to suit the retained soil, loads and property conditions.
- Steel posts and footings: Post size, spacing and footing depth follow the site-specific structural requirements.
- Drainage and approvals: Drainage, legal discharge, easements, access and required engineering or permits are checked before construction.

What should I do if my neighbour refuses to split the cost of a new boundary fence in Victoria?
Under Victoria’s Fences Act 1968, adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. A higher-standard fence or damage caused by one owner can change the contribution. Start with a clear RJL quote and try to agree in writing. If needed, serve a Fencing Notice and allow the neighbour 30 days to respond. Follow the applicable notice and dispute process before non-urgent work starts; do not assume automatic repayment.
Read the neighbour cost guide →Is a sliding driveway gate or a double swing gate better for a Melbourne home?
The right option depends on your driveway layout. A sliding gate needs side runback for the opening width plus allowance for overlap, hardware and the gate tail; cantilever gates need additional support space. Double swing gates need a clear opening arc and allowance for driveway slope and wind. RJL measures the opening, ground levels and clearances before recommending the gate and automation system.

Residential pools and spas capable of holding more than 300 mm of water must be registered with the local council and have a compliant safety barrier. The applicable standard depends on the pool’s construction date and council records. Common checks include barrier height, ground gaps, non-climbable zones and gates that open away from the pool and self-close and self-latch. A registered inspector must assess the barrier, generally every four years, and the owner must lodge the certificate with council.

Conductive fences, gates, spigots and other fixed metal near a pool may require equipotential bonding under AS/NZS 3000. The 1.25 m zone from the pool water edge is an important assessment consideration, but the complete installation and applicable Wiring Rules determine the requirement. Involve a licensed electrician before posts, spigots or concrete are installed. The electrician must assess, complete, test and certify any required bonding work.
