Has your boundary wall been raised, the gate replaced or the electric fence extended? If you need an electric fence COC in Parkhurst, Wesslink can inspect the system and quote for any corrections needed before a certificate is issued.
Bring the previous fence certificate if you have it. An older certificate may not describe changes made to the installation since it was issued.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Parkhurst’s residents’ association highlights the suburb’s architectural heritage and the approval process for alterations to older properties. For fence work, that creates two practical questions: is the fence safe and compliant, and does the proposed work also alter a wall or structure that needs separate approval?
Tell us which section of wall changed and whether brackets, wires or cables were moved at the same time. A neat-looking new wall does not show how the fence was reconnected. Inspection needs to follow the affected section back into the rest of the system.
A driveway alteration or a new pedestrian entrance can affect an electric fence installation. Mention any gate work completed after the last inspection, even if a different contractor handled it. Access to the whole route helps us assess the installation beyond the front of the house.
Check the fence paperwork before the final transfer arrangements. If you have records of extensions or repairs, keep them with the previous certificate. This gives the inspector a useful starting point without assuming that an old installation has remained unchanged.
PRABOA’s building-planning guidance describes heritage review for older structures and the local process for alterations. If the proposed repair changes a boundary structure, establish the relevant approval requirements before authorising that building work. A fence certificate does not provide planning or heritage permission.
This matters when a quotation includes more than replacing a damaged fence component. Ask for the electrical fence work and any wall, gate or structural work to be identified separately. You can then coordinate the appropriate people without treating one certificate as approval for the entire renovation.
INSPECTION & TESTING
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 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
The useful starting point for a Parkhurst quotation is what has changed: the wall, gate, fence route, energiser or a combination. Send a short description and accessible photos. Any structural work or approval process should be distinguished from the inspection and electric fence repairs.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · PARKHURST
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
No. Fence certification and permission to alter a building or boundary structure serve different purposes. PRABOA publishes local building-planning guidance. Establish the applicable approval route before structural changes are made.
Yes. Include gate and entrance changes when you book, even where the energiser was left in place. The inspector needs to understand whether the fence route, connections or protection around the opening were affected.
Send it with your enquiry. The document can help identify the earlier installation, but changes or damage since it was issued need consideration. Its age alone does not tell us whether it still represents the fence at the property.
Do not work against the electric wires yourself. Mention the overgrowth when booking so safe access and any clearing can be discussed. A maintenance task should not expose you or a gardener to an energised fence.
Tell Wesslink which wall, gate or fence sections changed and when the alarms began. Electric fence fault finding can then focus on the actual installation. If repairs also alter a wall or other structure, check the relevant building or heritage approval first.
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.
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.
