Fencing

Half-Cost Fencing

Council policy is to share the costs where the Ballarat City Council is the freehold owner of the adjoining land. With hundreds of hectares of public lands under its control, the City of Ballarat, where possible, financially assists adjoining land owners in the replacement of fences.
