Under the Victorian Fencing Act 1968, property owners and their neighbours have equal responsibility for dividing fences and the cost involved in building and maintaining them.
If you would like to build or repair a fence and can’t directly contact your neighbour, you can request their details from Council.
The property you are requesting the information for must share a boundary with the property that you own.
