Fencing in Bundoora - What You Need to Know

Bundoora is a large outer-northern Melbourne suburb located approximately 15km from the CBD. It is home to two major university campuses — La Trobe University and RMIT University's Bundoora campus — as well as the Bundoora Park, a large public reserve featuring a historic homestead and farm. The suburb developed primarily from the 1960s onwards and its housing stock is dominated by post-war and 1970s-1980s brick veneer homes on generous suburban blocks, alongside more recent medium-density townhouse developments that have been built to accommodate the growing student and family population. Bundoora has a strong community feel and is popular with families due to its spacious blocks, good schools, and access to parklands. The large block sizes and mix of original homes and newer developments make it an active market for full boundary fencing replacements and new installations.

Council Fencing Rules & Requirements

Bundoora is split across two councils. Here is what you need to know before building:

  • Neighbourhood Character Strategy: Banyule recommends a maximum of 1.2 metres for open and low front fences.
  • Main road properties: Front fences may be permitted up to 2 metres.
  • Corner properties: Front fences must not exceed 1 metre within 9 metres of the intersection.

City of Whittlesea (Northern Bundoora)

  • Front fences: Similar residential fencing height rules apply — front fences generally up to 1.5 metres without a permit.
  • Confirm your council: Contact Whittlesea Council to confirm which rules apply to your specific property.

For full details: whittlesea.vic.gov.au. If you are unsure which council your Bundoora property falls under, check your rates notice or contact us — our team can help you identify the correct council before your installation begins. Neighbours must be notified before construction of a dividing fence under the Fences Act 1968 (Vic) regardless of which council applies.

Popular Fence Styles in Bundoora

Bundoora's generous suburban blocks and post-war brick homes are ideally suited to Colorbond steel fencing. It provides full boundary definition and privacy across the wider frontages and side boundaries common throughout the suburb, requires zero maintenance, and suits the practical, family-oriented character of the area. For properties undergoing subdivision or dual occupancy development — which is increasingly common in Bundoora — Colorbond is the most efficient and cost-effective boundary solution. Woodland Grey, Basalt, and Surfmist are popular choices.

For homeowners who prefer a more traditional suburban look, or where established gardens call for a warmer natural boundary, timber paling is a solid choice in Bundoora. It suits the older brick veneer homes on larger blocks and provides a classic suburban fence finish that complements the leafy residential character of the suburb. We install treated pine and hardwood options to suit different budgets and longevity requirements.
