FENCES ACT 1968 - SECT 16

Owners may agree on a fence line other than common boundary where waterway or other obstruction

    (1)     To avoid doubt, the owners of adjoining lands may agree to carry out fencing works and any subsidiary works on a line that is not the common boundary if it is impracticable to carry out the works on the common boundary because a waterway or other obstruction (whether natural or manmade) is on, or forms, the common boundary.

    (2)     Despite section 4(2)(c), for the purposes of determining, under subsection (1), a line for carrying out fencing works and any subsidiary works that is not the common boundary of adjoining lands, "owner" includes a municipal council, trustee or other person or body in respect of land owned by or vested in, or under the care, control or management of, the municipal council, trustee, person or body for the purposes of a public park or public reserve.
