New resources on fencing and boundary disputes available on LawAssist

22nd Nov 11


Resources for people involved in fencing and boundary matters have been added to the LawAssist website. There is information about things to consider when building, fixing or replacing a fence, including information about options if neighbours can’t reach agreement. The site also provides information for people who have applied to the Local Court or Local Land Board for Fencing Orders and has step-by-step guides to preparing for hearings as well as sample forms and instructions. The resources also include a specific section devoted to boundary disputes.

LawAssist is a website developed by LawAccess NSW. You can view the new fences materials at:
