Ground conditions: Hard or rocky soil can mean extra work.
Existing fence removal: If you need your old fence removed and disposed of, this adds approximately A$25-45 per linear metre to your project cost.

Sharing Fence Costs with Your Neighbour
In Queensland, neighbours generally share equally the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. If you want more than a sufficient fence, such as a taller or premium material fence, you typically pay the extra cost above what a sufficient fence would cost.
It’s worth discussing your fence plans with your neighbour before you start. Agreeing on the type, height and cost split upfront can help avoid disputes later.
Planning Your Fencing Budget
To work out your total fencing cost, measure the length of fence you need in metres, then multiply by the approximate rate per metre.
The approximate cost depends on your fence length and the rate per metre, which sits between A$170-220 for standard 1.8m Colorbond fencing. If you’re removing an existing fence, add approximately A$25-45 per metre for removal and disposal.
Remember these are starting rates. Your actual quote will depend on your specific site conditions and requirements.
