• DEVELOPER FENCING WITH CHARGE BACK:
One of the issues that arises with new subdivisions is the establishment of fences and the ensuing survey and cost negotiations that result, often at great cost and angst to the landowners. To avoid this, the developer has established the following requirements of purchasers to provide for fencing at minimum cost from the outset.

• Side and Rear Fencing:
The developer will install, at the purchaser’s cost, 1.8m fencing on the side and rear boundaries.

• Key Benefit:
This process is designed to avoid neighbor disputes and arguments over cost responsibilities, ensuring smooth transactions and relationships between purchasers. It significantly reduces the cost of surveying (for fence lines) to the purchasers post-settlement.

• Front Fencing:
Construction of the post and 2-rail fence on the front boundary is left to the purchaser to complete after house construction. Covenants require a simple post and 2-rail fence across the front, as per the sample fence design.
