ELECTRIC FENCE COC · IRENE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming while garden work is underway?+
Stop work close to the affected installation and contact the responsible owner or manager. Give Wesslink the alert details when arranging electric fence fault finding. Do not touch the wires or attempt to remove material from them.
Can I request an electric fence compliance certificate before painting starts?+
Explain whether painting or preparation will affect the fence or its supports. Wesslink can discuss the inspection sequence so later work is accounted for rather than overlooked.
Do Irene Farm Villages rules apply to every Irene address?+
Use the rules and approvals for the actual property or development. Give the full address and manager’s details where relevant instead of relying on the shared Irene name.
Should the gardener move branches caught in the fence?+
Arrange professional coordination before anyone works near the wires. Report what is visible from a safe position; do not ask a gardener or household member to test or handle the installation.
Which documents should go to the purchaser?+
Keep the completed-work records and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued after the required inspection and tests. Include relevant approved alterations so the purchaser understands the final fence arrangement.
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.
