Retaining Walls and Boundary Fences

Generally boundary fences that are located adjacent to councils roads or lane ways or walkways are the responsibility of the land owner to install and maintain.

The council will usually accept responsibility for retaining walls that support council roads and footpaths on top of which the property owner may have installed a boundary fence.

For enquiries about fences that are located on the boundary with councils roads, footpaths or lane ways please contact 62 382 759 or email hcc@hobartcity.com.au.
