In most cases, you won’t need council approval to hire temporary fencing. However, requirements can vary depending on your location and the type of project. For example, if the fencing extends to public land, footpaths or roadways, your local council may require a permit to ensure pedestrian and traffic safety. Temporary fencing should meet AS 4687-2022 standards for safety and compliance. Not sure if your set-up qualifies? Reach out – we’re happy to help.
