Fencing in Wollert

Wollert is a mix of new estates and older rural blocks, and Paramount Fencing builds fences for both.

Tell us your estate, and we'll quote the fence its guidelines ask for.

New estates on old farmland

Wollert sits between the Merri and Darebin creeks, north of Epping. It was dairy country until the 1960s, and the dry stone walls in Masons Lane still show it.

Today, housing estates are spreading north from Epping, so most homes here are new and need their first fences. The ground is old volcanic plain, and rock can turn up in post holes.

Estate fence rules in Wollert

Two Wollert estates show how different the rules can be. Read your contract of sale before you choose a fence.

Aurora: side and back fences up to 1.8 metres in lapped and capped timber palings, where the boards overlap and a rail caps the top.
Aurora also asks for front fencing within six months of your occupancy certificate, the paper saying the house is ready to live in.
Fellow: Colorbond side and back fences up to 1.8 metres, ending 1 metre behind the front wall, and no front fences.
Along Edgars Creek: since 2026 a landscape overlay, a planning rule that protects the creek's look, can mean a new fence needs a planning permit.

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

Fencing questions from Wollert

When do I need my estate fence built by?

Check your contract. Aurora, for example, asks for front fencing within six months of the occupancy certificate. Send the quote request once you have a handover date.

Do you do farm fencing around Wollert?

Yes. We install post and wire, post and rail, and ringlock stock mesh, a knotted wire grid for sheep and cattle. We also hang farm gates on rural blocks.

Will rock in the ground cost more?

It can, because rocky post holes take longer to dig. We'll say at the quote if we expect it.
