Homes and factories in Thomastown

Thomastown grew from market gardens into a suburb of postwar homes after the 1940s, and from the 1960s manufacturing moved in alongside the houses.

So Thomastown fences range from back fences behind cream brick homes to security fencing around factory yards. Steel mesh with a top rail suits a yard that needs to stay secure but visible.

Heritage and creek rules in Thomastown

Thomastown is in the City of Whittlesea. Most fences only need to follow the usual height limits, but two things can change that.

Westgarthtown, the old German settlement near Edgars Creek, is under a Heritage Overlay, a planning rule that protects historic places.
Since 2026, land along Edgars Creek has had a landscape overlay, a rule that protects the creek's look. A new fence there can need a planning permit.
Download a free property report from VicPlan, the state government's online property map, to see if either covers your block.

These rules come from Whittlesea council and its planning rules, and they can change.

Fencing questions from Thomastown

Do you fence factory and warehouse yards?

Yes. We install chain mesh fencing with a top rail, in zinc-coated galvanised wire or black plastic-coated wire, plus gates for vehicles. Commercial jobs get a written quote like any other.

Is my block in the Westgarthtown heritage area?

Search your address on VicPlan and download the free property report. It names each overlay on the land. If a Heritage Overlay shows up, check with the council before changing a front fence.

How high can a front fence be on a Thomastown street?

Up to 1.5 metres within 3 metres of most streets without a building permit, and only 1 metre within 9 metres of a corner. Inside the Westgarthtown heritage area, ask the council before you change a front fence at all.
