Thinking about adding electric fencing at your Pine Slopes home or unit? Wesslink can assess the proposed electric fence installation and explain the work needed for an electric fence COC. First identify the boundary involved and obtain any applicable landlord, body-corporate or management approval, especially where the existing equipment serves more than your property.
A private security preference does not settle ownership of a wall or shared equipment. Get the relevant owner or manager involved before arranging alterations.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
The Lonehill Residents Association includes Pineslopes in its community coverage, while individual properties have their own ownership and management arrangements. For a proposed fence at your address, describe what you want to protect and where the work would go. A unit number alone may not identify the owner of the wall, garden edge or equipment beside it.
Give the managing contact the proposed location and ask what approvals apply. The technical assessment should then consider the actual installation and surrounding access. Do not purchase an energiser or ask a handyman to add wires first, because the permitted arrangement and suitable design may differ from your initial idea.
Discuss the request with the landlord and management where relevant. Explain whether the problem is an existing fault or a request for new equipment. Electric fence repairs to a shared perimeter and installation of a new private section require different decisions; make that distinction clear before seeking a quotation.
Point out its position safely and provide any known records. Do not assume the proposed section can simply be joined to it. Ownership, the existing arrangement and the resulting installation need assessment before an extension is treated as a small addition to someone else’s system.
Once the proposed work is clear, ask what the quotation includes and what is needed before inspection for an electric fence compliance certificate. Confirm who will arrange access, any associated wall or gate work and the handover documents. An approval to investigate options is different from approval to install a particular design, so keep the agreed work description available.
If the reason for considering new equipment is a recurring problem with an existing fence, explain the symptom first. Electric fence fault finding may clarify what is wrong before you choose a larger alteration. There is no need to decide on an upgrade from an alarm message alone, and changes to shared equipment should be discussed with its responsible manager.
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
Request separate prices for the proposed new work and any necessary corrections to existing equipment. State whether permissions and associated building work are already arranged. Ask about exclusions such as making good surfaces, and clarify the inspection and documentation steps so a component price is not confused with the cost of a complete, assessed installation.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · PINE SLOPES
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Discuss the proposal with the landlord and the relevant scheme management first. Ownership and applicable approval requirements must be established before installation work is agreed.
Report the symptom to the manager responsible for that installation. Provide the location and timing, and arrange authorised assessment instead of adding private equipment as a guessed remedy.
Include the assessment and certification requirements in the installation discussion from the outset. The completed installation must meet the applicable requirements before a certificate can be issued.
That needs assessment of the actual system and approval from the responsible owner. Nearby wires do not establish that the proposed connection is suitable or authorised.
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.
