Victorian style houses were characterised by iron palisade or acorn-headed timber picket fences, while Federation style houses provided plainer flat-topped timber picket fences, or sometimes a combination of masonry and wrought iron. Interwar dwellings provided plainer, heavier fencing, generally of brickwork with either decorative brick capping or a metal pipe rail.

Fences
Front fences are an extremely important streetscape element. Wherever possible, original fences should be retained and repaired. Original fencing would have generally matched the style of the house.
