Key Considerations for Queensland Property Owners

- Choose durable materials resistant to coastal Queensland weather and termites.
- Communicate clearly with adjoining neighbours regarding boundary alignment and dividing fence cost sharing.
- Ensure post footings are dug to proper depth in local soil conditions.
- Include lockable gates for convenient bin and backyard access.
