Boundary fencing.

Fencing. 

Does your property border a council reserve, or walkway?

If it does and you are thinking of building or repairing your boundary fence, Manukau Parks may be able to help contribute to the construction costs!

Read our guide on how to claim for the council's contribution for fences adjoining reserves (PDF 1.17mb).

Before you construct or repair the fence

Step 1

Apply to Manukau Parks at least 21 working days before you begin to build the fence.

Send your request to:

Please include the following details:

  • Your name, and address of the property you are claiming for
  • Your postal address (if different from above), and best contact number
  • Details of the fence you are proposing to build - height, length and material to be used (Note: you cannot make a claim if you are using a fibrolite material. The fence can not be higher than 2 metres)
  • Provide copies of quotes or details of the expected cost of construction and or repair (If the property owner is building the fence themselves, they can include $10 an hour for labour).

Step 2

We will confirm with you if you are eligible for a contribution and the maximum contribution available.
