PVC Fencing
Hurstville.
2220
A busy St George centre south of the city, where post-war brick homes, dense unit redevelopment, and shared strata boundaries shape the fence decision.
Hurstville
Hurstville sits about sixteen kilometres south of the Sydney CBD in the St George district, between the city and the Georges River. Around its centre the suburb has densified into apartment towers, while the surrounding residential streets hold post-war double-brick homes, mid-century cottages, and a steady wave of townhouse and unit infill. Lots in the older pockets are solid and regular, but redevelopment means many freestanding homes now sit next to strata complexes, which changes who you share a fence with. The position is inland but moderate, with warm summers loading on west-facing boundaries. Timber palings here fade and stay exposed to termite pressure, and Colorbond corrodes at its edges over time. PVC is UV-stabilised, never rots, and gives termites nothing to eat. For a Hurstville boundary shared with a neighbour or an owners corporation, PVC presents the same clean face to both sides without a repaint.

How Hurstville fences.
Housing stock
Hurstville's residential streets mix post-war double-brick homes and mid-century cottages with extensive townhouse and apartment infill, especially near the centre. The older lots are regular and solid; the redevelopment is dense. The contrast between a freestanding brick home and a neighbouring unit block is common on the same street.
Lot & boundary conditions
Established Hurstville blocks tend to be regular and reasonably level with decent frontages, giving straight fence lines that suit modular PVC panels. Because of heavy unit redevelopment, many side or rear boundaries are now shared with a strata complex rather than a single neighbour, which affects how a fence is negotiated.
The common job
A frequent Hurstville scenario is a post-war brick home replacing a rusted Colorbond or rotted timber side fence shared with an adjoining unit block, where the new run must present a clean face to both a private yard and a strata common area. The Ascot full privacy panel suits this because it shows the same finished face on both sides.
Local factor
Hurstville falls within the Georges River council area. Ongoing apartment and townhouse redevelopment means many established homes now neighbour strata schemes, so a large share of fence decisions here involve an owners corporation rather than a single adjoining owner.
PVC fencing considerations for Hurstville
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-conservation lot, needs council assessment. Georges River Council is the consent authority for Hurstville.
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, and where one side is a strata scheme the owners corporation is the relevant neighbour, not the individual residents. Serve a fencing notice with quotes on the owners corporation through its strata manager before ordering.
Shared strata boundaries
With heavy unit redevelopment across Hurstville, many boundaries are now shared with an owners corporation. A fence on such a boundary is visible to a private yard on one side and a common area on the other, so both faces matter. PVC presents the same finished face on both sides, which removes the common dispute over which side gets the rail face.
Pool safety
Pool fencing in Hurstville 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 any adjacent landscaping or furniture.

Questions
PVC fencing Hurstville, answered.
- We share a fence with a unit block in Hurstville. Who pays?
- Under the Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW) the cost of a sufficient dividing fence is shared between adjoining owners. When the neighbour is a strata scheme, the owners corporation is the relevant adjoining owner, not the individual unit residents, so you serve a fencing notice with quotes on the owners corporation through its strata manager. With heavy redevelopment in Hurstville this is a common situation. PVC suits it because both faces are identical, which removes the usual dispute about which side gets the rail face when a fence sits between a private yard and a strata common area.
- Do I need council approval for a fence in Hurstville?
- In most cases no. Under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, a dividing fence up to 1.8 metres on a side or rear boundary is generally exempt development and does not need a development application, provided it meets the standard conditions. A taller fence, a front fence with specific controls, or a fence on a heritage-conservation lot needs assessment by Georges River Council, which is the consent authority here. Always confirm the controls for your specific property before ordering.
- Is PVC fencing a good choice against Hurstville's redevelopment?
- Yes. As Hurstville densifies, more freestanding homes end up beside townhouse and apartment complexes, where a boundary fence is seen by both a private yard and a strata common area. PVC presents the same clean white face on both sides, so neither side is left with the rail face, and it never needs a repaint to keep that finish. It is also UV-stabilised, never rots, and gives termites nothing to eat, which matters on the older blocks where timber is under constant termite pressure.
- Can I get PVC fencing delivered and installed in Hurstville?
- Yes. We deliver to Hurstville and all Sydney suburbs on palletised freight, typically within 7 to 10 business days, and our installer network covers the St George district. Because Sydney is an interstate run from our Queensland base the delivery window is a little longer than our local Queensland timeframes, but every order is palletised for safe transit and tracked. Pricing runs from $166 to $342 per panel set inc GST, with the Henley picket from $166.54. Tick the installation option on your quote for a supply-and-install price.
- What PVC fence suits a Hurstville home next to units?
- For a side or rear boundary shared with a unit block, the Ascot full privacy range at 1.8 metres screens the yard and shows the same finished face to both the private side and the strata common area. Where some light is wanted through a long boundary, the Oxford semi-privacy lets air through while still screening. For a street boundary on an older brick home the Henley picket keeps kerb appeal without a repaint, which holds up well under the warm western-facing sun.
