MEASUREMENT REGULATIONS The height of a fence, wall, gate or privacy screening (excluding vegetative screening) built on ground level should not exceed: 

 

• 1.85 m (6.1 ft) in any portion of the rear and/or interior side yard

• 1.2 m (4 ft) in any portion of the front yard and flanking side yard (longer property line adjacent to the roadway)

 

The height of privacy screening (excluding vegetative screening) built on a platform structure should not exceed: 

• 1.2 m (4 ft) in any portion of the front yard, required side setback or within 2.5m of a rear lot line. 

• 1.85 m (6.1 ft) in all other yards

• 1.5 m (4.9 ft) when built on a rooftop terrace 

 

The height of a fence, wall or gate is determined using the height of the material being used in construction (not including posts or other supporting anchors). Height of a fence, wall or gate is determined by measuring from the general ground level 0.5 metres back of the property line of the site on which it is to be constructed. Height for privacy screening is determined by measuring from the general ground level 0.5 m back from where the privacy screening will be constructed or from the surface of the platform structure or rooftop terrace it is constructed upon.
