Adjoining owners are encouraged to attempt to resolve issues about fencing work to avoid a dispute arising. If an owner wants an adjoining owner to contribute to fencing work, the owner must give the adjoining owner a notice to contribute under division 2 . Other than for urgent work or with leave from QCAT, the notice must be given and adjoining owners must agree before the fencing work is done. See part 5 for the process for dealing with unauthorised fencing work. An owner may apply to QCAT for resolution of a dispute if the dispute arises about— carrying out fencing work for which a notice to contribute has been given; or carrying out fencing work for a dividing fence without authorisation.
