Essendon has some of the best presented streets in the inner north west, and the fencing reflects that. Californian bungalows and solid interwar brick homes on wide blocks through the streets off Buckley Street and Mt Alexander Road, with owners who care what the front boundary looks like.
In Essendon, Colorbond and timber paling are the popular choices for side and rear boundaries, and a well built timber picket or feature fence is the right call at the front on the bungalow and interwar streets. Merbau or hardwood upgrades are common here where the fence is visible from the street.
Essendon sits under Moonee Valley City Council.
Do I need a permit for timber fencing in Essendon? Boundary fences under 2.0 metres between neighbours generally do not need a building permit in Victoria. Moonee Valley City Council applies lower height limits to street frontages and has heritage controls in parts of Essendon, so check before building at the front.
