Your Guide to Constructing your Shared Fence at Marigold

Establishing your boundary or ‘shared’ fencing is one of the final steps of new home construction required before moving into your new home.

At Marigold, we know this is the first time this is undertaken for many of you, so we wanted to step out the process of what you need to know about constructing your shared fencing at Marigold Tarneit, to enable a smooth new home journey, the whole way. 

What is boundary or ‘shared’ fencing?

A boundary or shared fence is the a dividing or boundary fence used to separate two pieces of land. It is the joint property between the landowner and neighbour and considered a shared asset, with the cost of building and repairing split equally between both parties.

What do I need to know?

If you are ready to construct your boundary fencing, you will need to get in contact with your neighbours before enlisting any contractors. That means the adjoining owners for the left, right and rear of your property (excluding corner blocks. Please refer to your Contract of Sale for details). Each neighbour who shares a common boundary will need to agree to the costs to construct the new fence before any work is commenced.

To find out the contact details of the adjoining property owners,  so you can begin discussions surrounding boundary fencing, please get in contact with the Wyndham council by following the directions at the link provided here.

Your Guide to Constructing your Shared Fence

Constructing a shared fence follows this general process:

1. Contact you local council (Wyndham – see link above) for your neighbours’ contact details

2. Obtain 3 quotes from separate contractors (for each length of fence). This will need to be done for each boundary. 

3. Speak to your neighbours about the obtained quotes and allow your neighbours to source 3 of their own quotes.  



If your neighbouring block is unsold and is still listed as the property of Growland, we recommend following these steps:

– Obtain 3 separate quotes (for each length of fence). This will need to be done for each boundary. 

– Choose the best of 3

– Keep all 3 original quotes to present to your new neighbour when they eventually move in

– Present 3 quotes and their share of the invoice from your chosen contractor to your neighbour 

If you have any questions about the type of fencing or restrictions on the type of fencing allowed within the community, please refer to
the Design Guidelines here.

Please note: Growland is unable to provide any details to purchasers of adjoining lot owners.

As always, our Marigold Team are happy to help if you have further questions.

Construction has Commenced on Marigold’s Stage 10 Park.

Growland is excited to announce that construction has commenced on our Stage 10 Park!

This new local park is positioned in the top north-eastern section of our community on the corner of Ulmus Street & Frog Way, aptly named Frog Way Park.

The new park will pay homage to the previously delivered Gathering Grove Park and reinforce the gentle, undulating forms of Marigold’s landscape by continuing the use of curvilinear shared paths around the perimeter and drawing on the use of large ornate boulders and logs to connect the green spaces. Frog Way Park has been designed as a more passively centred park where residents can come to relax and enjoy a quiet moment sitting in the sun on one of the park benches or utilise the large open-grassed area in the centre of the park for picnicking with family and friends.

The park will include feature platform seating, standard bench seating throughout, and a water fountain.

Frog Way Park will include some play equipment, directed towards our youngest residents, who can expect to be attracted to the wooden rockers and flower spinners that will add a burst of bright colour to the park.

Set out and site establishment are underway which involves establishing the building site with all of the correct health and safety measures in place.

Civil construction can then kick off with the next round of tasks including setting up temporary fencing and performing a general clean-up of the site before civil earthworks begin.

The above preliminary works are well underway, and our team are looking forward to commencing earthworks on the park in the new year.

We anticipate Frog Way Park to be open to the community in July next year.

We look forward to delivering this new park to the Marigold community that will provide a space for quiet reflection and encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for all residents. Marigold residents can expect to reap the rewards of being surrounded by ample green space, look forward to spending many hours outdoors and feel the benefits of an enhanced connection to nature. This is a space that all Marigold residents will be able to enjoy passively or actively.

Stay tuned for more construction updates coming soon!
