Fencing for Curlewis's Growing Community

Curlewis borders Drysdale and Clifton Springs, and it's been one of the Bellarine's fastest-growing pockets for years now. The new estates keep going up, the fresh blocks keep selling, and the trucks haven't stopped. On a brand-new home, fencing lands near the top of the to-do list almost straight away — boundary and dividing fences that simply weren't there when the slab went down. We're based a few minutes up the road in Drysdale, so Curlewis isn't some far-flung suburb to us. We're across these estates pretty much every week.

A new block fences up differently to an established one. More often than not you're the one putting in the very first fence along a boundary, and that means a conversation with whoever's next door before anything gets dug — what fence you both want, how you split the dividing-fence cost, and getting everyone nodding before a single post goes in. Colorbond gets picked a lot out here. It suits the newer home designs and there's no gap to peer through, so the boundary's properly closed off. Once it's up you can more or less forget about it. If the dividing-fence side of things is new to you, we'll talk you through how it usually plays out so it stays easy and neighbourly.

Being right next door buys you more than a quick drive. We know how the ground behaves across the Curlewis area, how far footings need to go down, and how much wind the newer streets cop coming across the open Bellarine. First fence on a freshly-settled home, matching in with what the neighbours have already stood up, or an older fence that's finally given out — every one of them gets built the same careful way underneath. Concrete footings poured properly, galvanised fittings, fixings that won't let you down in a year. We supply and install Colorbond fencing and timber palings, and we take on repairs for any property in Curlewis.

Mostly first fences on new blocks, with replacements and repairs on the older streets.

Colorbond fencing in Curlewis

Colorbond Fencing

Steel Colorbond — far and away the most-asked-for fence across the new Curlewis estates. It shuts the boundary off completely with no gaps, and once it's up there's barely anything left to do to it. Plenty of colours, too, so it sits right against a modern build.

Timber fencing in Curlewis

Timber Fencing

Hardwood palings, for the owners who want the warmer, more natural look on their Curlewis block. Standard paling, lapped, or a feature design if you're after something with a bit more to it — every version goes up on properly poured footings with the posts set to a depth that holds.

Questions About Fencing in Curlewis

On a new Curlewis estate block there's usually no old fence to remove, so that line drops off the quote, and the dividing fence is normally split with the neighbour, so you're paying your share of each shared side rather than the whole run. What moves the number is height, length, material, and whether the block undulates enough to need stepped panels. Some estates set the fence type or colour in a covenant, so check that before you choose. We quote on site for free — call 0485 577 980 to arrange a visit.
Under Victoria's Fences Act 1968, the cost of a dividing fence between two properties is generally shared equally between the neighbouring owners, provided both agree on the type of fence. On a new estate in Curlewis where neither property has been fenced before, this usually means approaching your neighbour, agreeing on the fence style and cost, and splitting the bill down the middle. If you haven't done this before, we can walk you through how the process typically works and what's reasonable to expect. We'll then provide a quote that covers your share of the dividing fence clearly.
Curlewis is within the City of Greater Geelong. A building permit is needed for a side or rear fence over 2 metres, a front fence over 1.5 metres within 3 metres of the street, a corner fence over 1 metre within 9 metres of an intersecting street, and a brick or masonry fence over 1.2 metres. A planning permit is a separate approval and can apply on its own, for example under a Heritage Overlay. For new housing estates in Curlewis, some estates may also have covenants or design guidelines specifying fence types. We recommend checking with both the City of Greater Geelong and your developer's covenant documents for your specific block before work starts.
Because we're based minutes away in Drysdale, we can usually arrange a free quote visit in Curlewis within days. We're across the Curlewis estates regularly and understand the pace of new builds — fence timelines often need to fit around landscaping and handover schedules. Start dates depend on our current workload, but being genuinely local means you're not waiting weeks for a contractor to travel from the city. Call 0485 577 980 to discuss your timeline.
