Need an Electric Fence COC in Erasmia?

Does one fence serve more than one household or occupied building on your Erasmia property? Explain that arrangement when you contact Wesslink. An electric fence COC inspection needs to relate to the actual installation, with access and work instructions agreed by the person responsible for it.

If the fence follows a disputed boundary or requires access through another property, settle the access and ownership questions with the relevant people before commissioning alterations.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

One street address can contain several access arrangements.

For Erasmia in Centurion, provide the full street and property description. If a house, cottage or other occupied building shares a yard, the fence enquiry should explain how those areas connect. A tenant’s separate entrance or postal description does not necessarily mean there is a separate electric-fence installation to inspect.

01

A cottage is being let separately

Tell Wesslink which entrance the occupier will use and whether the boundary or fence is changing. Agree who will receive alerts and arrange maintenance. The landlord should retain the records for any shared installation rather than leave each occupier with a different explanation of responsibility.

02

A wall divides an existing yard

Describe the new division and any fence sections that will be moved or disconnected. Obtain the necessary property and building approvals before work. The fence installer needs the intended completed arrangement, including access between the remaining areas, rather than only the location of the new wall.

03

A neighbour must provide access

Arrange permission for the specific visit instead of assuming earlier access remains available. Tell Wesslink which sections require it. The quotation and appointment can then account for the inspection actually possible without treating an inaccessible boundary as checked.

Write down who manages the shared installation.

For a fence serving several occupiers, nominate one responsible customer for the enquiry. Collect the previous certificate, alteration history and current fault reports. Wesslink can discuss an inspection and explain the findings to that customer, while the owner can arrange any notices or access required for people using the property.

Electric fence installation around a newly divided area needs an assessment of the proposed layout and applicable approvals. Electric fence repairs to an existing shared system should be authorised by the responsible owner or manager. A fence certificate does not determine a legal boundary or settle a tenancy disagreement.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.

An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS

Get a quote for the fence you actually have.

Explain the number of occupied areas, entrances and access permissions involved in the inspection. The quotation can distinguish checking the existing system from changing it for a new arrangement. Ask how any additional corrections will be authorised so a tenant’s repair request does not unintentionally become an instruction to redesign the property boundary.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming near a tenant’s entrance?

Ask for the alert wording and time and tell Wesslink about any entrance changes. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the actual installation. Do not assume the tenant, gate or new wall is the cause before inspection.

Does each occupier need a separate electric fence compliance certificate?

Identify the installation or installations first. Separate households do not automatically establish separate fence systems. Provide the existing records so the appropriate inspection and documentation can be discussed.

Can a fence inspector decide where the property boundary is?

A compliance inspection does not settle ownership or a boundary dispute. Resolve those matters through the appropriate property process and provide the agreed work area before requesting alterations.

Can I authorise repairs on behalf of another owner?

Make the authority clear when you enquire and provide the responsible contact. Access permission and permission to approve repairs should both be understood before work is undertaken.

What record should follow approved alterations?

Keep the completed-work description and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued after the required inspection and tests. The records should describe the resulting installation so future occupiers can understand what serves their areas.

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.
