Fencing News
and Rule Changes
When Victorian fencing or pool safety rules change, or when material prices move enough to matter, it goes here. Nothing is posted unless it affects a decision you might make.
Updates worth your time
This section carries changes to Victorian fencing and pool safety regulation, movements in material pricing large enough to change a quote, and anything else that would alter advice we have already published.
We do not post for the sake of posting. Most weeks nothing here changes, which is a reasonable reflection of how often fencing regulation actually moves.
In the meantime, the guides carry the Victorian rules as they currently stand, and we update them when the rules change.
