Fencing in Charlemont - What You Need to Know

Charlemont is a relatively new suburb on Geelong's southern fringe, officially gazetted in 2012 and growing rapidly since. Located approximately 10 kilometres south of the Geelong CBD, the suburb sits between the established residential areas of Grovedale and the newer growth corridor of Armstrong Creek. Charlemont has a practical, mixed character — residential pockets sit alongside light industrial and commercial precincts, making it one of Geelong's more versatile southern suburbs. The population has grown significantly in recent years, from just 364 residents at the 2016 census to over 2,600 by 2021, and that growth is continuing. The suburb offers easy access to the Waurn Ponds shopping precinct and is well connected to the Surf Coast via the Princes Highway. Housing is predominantly newer construction, with a mix of family homes and smaller residential lots. Fencing in Charlemont tends to be practical and durable — homeowners and businesses alike want solutions that look good, last long, and don't require ongoing attention.

City of Greater Geelong Fencing Rules & Requirements

Charlemont is governed by the City of Greater Geelong. Here are the key fencing regulations to be aware of:

  • Permit for tall front fences: Building a front fence higher than 1.5 metres requires a building permit from the City of Greater Geelong.
  • Corner block visibility: Fences on corner lots are limited to 1 metre in height within a 9-metre radius of any street intersection for safety sightlines.
  • Public space setback: A minimum setback of 150mm is required between fences and public open space or the street alignment.
  • Heritage Overlay compliance: Properties subject to a Heritage Overlay need a planning permit for street-visible fencing, per Clause 43 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme.
  • Council land permits: Erecting, modifying, or removing fences on council-owned land, roads, or road reserves requires a separate permit.
  • Dividing fence costs: Under the Fences Act 1968 (Vic), the cost of a standard dividing fence is generally shared between adjoining property owners.
  • Estate covenants: Certain new developments in Charlemont may include "no front fence" covenants — always verify your property title before proceeding.

Popular Fence Styles in Charlemont

Colorbond steel is the natural fit for Charlemont's mix of residential and light commercial properties. It's tough, low-maintenance, and delivers a consistent, professional finish whether it's going around a family home or securing a commercial yard. The wide colour range suits both new builds and established properties, and Colorbond's durability makes it the smart long-term choice in a suburb that's still actively developing. We install Colorbond across all property types in Charlemont — residential boundaries, side gates, and full perimeter enclosures.

For commercial properties, industrial sites, and larger residential blocks in Charlemont, chainmesh fencing offers unbeatable value and practicality. It's strong, cost-effective, and provides clear boundary definition without blocking light or airflow — ideal for yards, storage areas, and perimeter security. We install chainmesh in galvanised and PVC-coated finishes, and can add privacy slats where needed. For Charlemont properties where function matters more than aesthetics, chainmesh is the most sensible choice.
