PVC Fencing
Springwood.
2777
Lower Mountains hub town where milder mountain weather, family-sized blocks, and bushland gully edges shape boundary fencing choices.
Springwood
Springwood is the main centre of the Lower Blue Mountains, around 370 metres above sea level, and its climate is noticeably milder than the upper-mountains towns while still damp and cooler than the coast. The housing is broadly suburban: post-war brick, brick-veneer family homes, and newer builds on generous blocks, many of which back onto bushland reserve and the gullies that thread through the area. That mix of larger family yards and bush boundaries makes Springwood a stronghold for full-height privacy fencing. PVC absorbs no moisture, so it never rots in the mountain damp and is completely termite-proof, which suits the leaf litter and shade that build up against bush-edge fences. PVC is not BAL-rated, though, so any block on a bushfire-mapped boundary should have its rating checked before a material is chosen.

How Springwood fences.
Housing stock
Springwood is largely post-war and later suburban: brick and brick-veneer family homes and newer builds on generous blocks, with a small heritage core around the town centre. Yards are bigger than the upper-mountains village lots, so full-height privacy and boundary runs are the common job.
Bushland gully edges
Many Springwood blocks back onto bushland reserve or the gullies that cut through the area, which brings leaf litter, shade, and ongoing moisture against the rear fence line. That setting rots timber and feeds termites, and it also places a number of properties inside mapped bushfire-attack zones.
Milder mountain climate
At lower-mountains altitude Springwood is milder than Katoomba and Blackheath but still cooler and damper than Sydney, with regular wet spells and the occasional frost. Timber fences in this damp soften and rot at the base over time. PVC absorbs none of it and holds its finish through the wet months.
The common job
A frequent Springwood scenario is a family home replacing a sagging or rotted timber paling fence along a long rear or side boundary, often where the run backs onto bush. The Ascot full privacy panel suits this because it gives complete screening and shows the same finished face to both sides.
PVC fencing considerations for Springwood
Approvals & heights
In New South Wales a dividing fence up to 1.8 metres is generally exempt development under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, provided it meets the standard conditions. Anything taller, or a fence on a heritage or bushfire-affected lot, needs assessment by Blue Mountains City Council, the consent authority for Springwood.
Bushfire and BAL
PVC is not BAL-rated. On a Springwood block in a designated Bushfire Attack Level zone the asset-protection-zone boundary may need a non-combustible fence, so check the property's BAL rating with Blue Mountains City Council before ordering. PVC suits the many lower-mountains blocks that sit outside those zones.
Cost-sharing
Cost-sharing and notice between neighbours are governed by the Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW). Adjoining owners share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. Serve a fencing notice with quotes before ordering, and agree the line and height with your neighbour on the longer family-block boundaries common here.
Pool safety
Pool fencing in Springwood must comply with the Swimming Pools Act 1992 (NSW) and AS 1926.1, including the 100mm climbable-gap rule and the non-climbable zone around the barrier. The Ascot full privacy panel can serve as a compliant pool barrier provided the non-climbable zone is preserved around adjacent landscaping or furniture.

Questions
PVC fencing Springwood, answered.
- My Springwood block backs onto bushland. Is PVC the right choice?
- It depends on whether the boundary is bushfire-mapped. PVC is not BAL-rated, so if the rear of your Springwood block sits inside a designated Bushfire Attack Level zone, the asset-protection-zone boundary may need a non-combustible fence rather than PVC. Bush-edge and gully blocks are more likely to be mapped this way. The honest step is to check your property's BAL rating with Blue Mountains City Council first. For boundaries outside those zones, PVC is ideal: it shrugs off the leaf litter, shade, and damp that rot timber against a bush fence and is fully termite-proof.
- What PVC fence suits a long Springwood rear boundary?
- For the long rear and side boundaries common on Springwood family blocks, the Ascot full privacy range at 1.8 metres gives complete screening and presents the same clean face to both sides of a shared fence. Where you want some daylight and airflow, the Oxford semi-privacy lets light through while still screening the yard. Both install as discrete panel modules, which makes them straightforward to run over a long boundary and to step where the ground falls toward a gully.
- Will a PVC fence rot in the Springwood damp like timber does?
- No. The damp, shade, and leaf litter that rot timber fences in the lower mountains, especially on bush-backed blocks, do not affect PVC. PVC absorbs no water, so the posts will not soften and rot at the base the way timber does, and there is no timber for termites to attack. It also has no metal to corrode in the wet. That is why it has become a durable, low-maintenance replacement for the sagging timber paling fences common across Springwood.
- Do I need council approval for a fence in Springwood?
- In NSW a dividing fence up to 1.8 metres is generally exempt development under the SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, provided it meets the standard conditions. Taller fences, and fences on heritage-listed or bushfire-affected properties, need assessment by Blue Mountains City Council. Cost-sharing with your neighbour follows the Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW), and any pool barrier must meet the Swimming Pools Act 1992 (NSW) and AS 1926.1.
- Can I get PVC fencing delivered and installed in Springwood?
- Yes. We deliver to Springwood and across the Blue Mountains on palletised freight, typically within 7 to 10 business days, and our national installer network covers the region. Because the Blue Mountains is an interstate run from our Queensland base the delivery window is a little longer than our local Queensland timeframes, but it is fully tracked.
