Step 14
Check the height of lightweight fencing
'Lightweight' fencing is any fencing not constructed from masonry. Lightweight fencing includes timber, colourbond or metal.
Measure the height from the top of the fence to natural ground level. Lightweight fencing that is 1.5m or higher requires a Building Permit.
Will your project include lightweight fencing that is 1.5m or higher?
- If yes, you will need a Building Permit. See whether you also need Report and Consent.
- If no, you do not need a Building Permit. See whether there are any other permits you need.
