Avoiding conflict over fences and trees
Fences and trees are two of the most common causes of neighbourhood conflict and complaints to government departments and local councils.
The information on these pages will help you understand the laws relating to:
- construction and repair of fences between adjoining properties
- trees in your own or neighbouring properties.
You can obtain a copy of the Dividing Fences Act 1953 from the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel website.
