Timber & Colorbond Fencing
Durable, private boundaries built for Melbourne’s changing weather, with the material, posts and ground levels planned for your property.
- Genuine Colorbond steel: Low-maintenance privacy fencing in current profiles and colours such as Monument and Woodland Grey.
- Capped timber options: Treated timber paling and feature fences with suitable steel posts and sleeper details where the scope requires them.
- Neighbour coordination: Clear measurements, demolition scope and written quotes help adjoining owners agree before work starts.
Pool Fencing Compliance
Mill Park pool owners must register their pool or spa with the City of Whittlesea and arrange the required barrier inspections. RJL supplies and installs glass and batten barriers around the applicable safety standard.
- Glass and aluminium: Frameless glass panels and architectural black aluminium battens keep the pool visible while defining a safe boundary.
- Gate hardware: Self-closing, self-latching gates open away from the pool, with latch positions and non-climbable zones assessed for the layout.
- Formal certification: An appropriately registered inspector assesses the completed barrier; the owner lodges the certificate with council.
Driveway Gate Automation
Transform the front boundary into a secure, private entry with a custom-made sliding or double swing gate, fabricated to suit the opening and existing front fence.
- Custom fabrication: Steel, timber-clad and vertical batten gates with matching pedestrian entrances.
- Smart controls: Remotes, security keypads, intercoms and compatible smartphone access, selected for household use.
- Safe commissioning: Motor sizing, safety beams, limits, latching and manual release are checked as part of the agreed installation.

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.
Read the Victorian pool barrier guide →Does a residential metal pool safety fence require electrical bonding?
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.
