ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CEDAR LAKES
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can an electric fence COC confirm that my wall is on the correct boundary?+
No. It is not a land survey. Cedar Lakes' published architectural rules identify a surveyor's diagram as the evidence for a boundary-position dispute.
Should I book the inspection before a wall is rebuilt?+
Explain the programme first. Early advice can be useful, but the inspection and any later assessment need to account for changes made during the rebuild. Do not expect an earlier document to describe unfinished work.
What if my neighbour will not provide access?+
Tell the inspector which section is affected. The authorised work and any limitation must be agreed; access cannot be assumed or forced by a private inspection booking.
Is the estate's approval enough to issue the certificate?+
Approval of a plan and assessment of the installed fence serve different purposes. The installation still needs the appropriate inspection, and any defects or incomplete work must be addressed before certification can be concluded.
Is your electric fence alarming after wall or gate work?+
Tell us when the alarms began and which wall or gate work was completed. Wesslink can check the fence and its equipment through electric fence fault finding. Ask the estate contact to arrange access; for a disputed section, agree access with the responsible parties first.
Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Will the inspection fee include repairs?+
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
