Much of Melbourne sits on reactive clay. Clay swells in winter and shrinks through summer, which works fence footings loose over the years. It is the single biggest reason posts lean here, and why we set footings deeper than the bare minimum.
Most Melbourne councils allow a boundary fence up to 2.0 metres between neighbours without a planning permit, with lower limits on street frontages. Heritage overlays across the inner suburbs add extra rules, so check with your council before going tall at the front.
