Commercial Fencing Brisbane Southside

In many cases, you won’t need council approval but it will also depend on the zoning of your block amongst a few other factors. We’re familiar with Brisbane City Council fence regulations and can help you determine what’s needed. If approvals are required, we can work with your team or building manager to make sure everything is compliant before we start the job.

In Brisbane, most commercial or security fences can be up to 2 metres high without council approval. If you need something higher, like for warehouses, logistics yards, or government buildings, you’ll likely require council approval, even for 2.4m or 3m tall fences. Adding security features such as barbed wire or cranked tops also needs council consent. We recommend systems that balance your security needs with local regulations. Always check with the council for your specific site, as zoning and overlays may affect what’s allowed.

Yes, we regularly work around live sites, and we understand how important it is to keep your business running without disruptions. Whether for a school, warehouse, retail store, or industrial facility, we’re used to coordinating with site managers, following safety procedures, and working in stages to minimise day to day disruptions. We can schedule quieter tasks during peak hours and manage access so your team and customers can go about their day. Safety is a top priority, both for our crew and for your staff and visitors, and we take that responsibility seriously.

It really depends on the size and complexity of your site, but we’ll always give you a clear timeframe upfront. For smaller jobs, like fencing a section of a retail property or car park, it could take just a day or two. For larger sites like warehouses, schools, or full perimeter security, we may need several days to a week or more. Weather and ground conditions can also play a role.

What we always aim for is efficiency without cutting corners. We turn up on time, work to schedule, and keep you updated throughout the job so there are no surprises. It’s best if you schedule an onsite assessment first so we can take a look at your property and discuss your plans. We’ll be able to give you a more accurate timeline after that.

We’ve worked across all kinds of soil types in Brisbane Southside, from soft sandy patches near the river to heavy blacksoil and reactive clay. If the ground is unstable, we might need to dig deeper footings, use stronger concrete, or add extra bracing. For sloped or uneven sites, we adjust our post levels to keep everything aligned and secure. Our team assesses soil conditions during the quoting stage, so we can factor in any special requirements and build a fence that stays upright and strong for years to come. As local commercial and industrial fencing contractors, we’ve worked with a wide range of challenging sites across Brisbane Southside and know how to adapt to each one.

Aluminium fencing can absolutely be secure enough — it just depends on how it’s designed and where it’s used. For example, aluminium slat fencing or panels with narrow gaps can be great for retail frontages, childcare centres, or office complexes that want a clean, modern look with good security. It’s durable, rust-resistant, and requires very little effort to maintain its appearance. That said, for high-security sites like warehouses or utilities, we’d typically recommend garrison or palisade fencing.

We’ll always advise you based on what gives you the right balance of safety, style, and practicality. If you need professional insights or advice for your commercial fencing needs, give us a call on (07) 2000 5001.
