Securing Glen Atholl's mix of private homes and shared complex boundaries
In Glen Atholl, security perimeters are often a patchwork of different fence and wall types, where older freestanding homes stand alongside modern cluster developments. A single property might share a modern precast wall with a complex on one side and an original brick wall with a neighbour on the other. This variety, especially in areas near the Sandspruit or busy roads like Grayston Drive, can create inconsistent security lines that can be probed for weaknesses where different properties' fences meet.
Our approach in Glen Atholl is to create a consistent, effective barrier, regardless of the wall it is on. For a complex like Balgowan Estate, this means checking the entire perimeter, paying close attention to joins between different walling sections. For freestanding homes, we make sure the fence is properly earthed and that brackets are securely fixed to the wall material. We also check that fences facing public areas, like the paths along the Sandspruit, have correctly spaced warning signs.
When a property is sold in Glen Atholl, an Electric Fence System Certificate is usually asked for. For sales within a complex or estate, the certificate covers the whole perimeter and is held by the body corporate; the seller's agent should request a copy from the managing agent. For a freestanding house, the seller arranges the inspection. This applies to any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, whatever the age of the fence. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Glen Atholl
Our complex has a certificate, but the fence along my unit's wall doesn't work. What should I do?
The certificate covers the entire perimeter, which the body corporate is responsible for maintaining. You should report the fault to your managing agent or a trustee. We can then inspect that specific section for them and provide a quote for the repair.
My freestanding house shares a wall with a townhouse complex. Who is responsible for the fence on that boundary?
Each property is responsible for its own electric fence system. Your fence and the complex's fence should be electrically separate, even if they are on the same physical wall. If a fault occurs, it needs to be traced on the system it belongs to.
Tell us what you have in Glen Atholl now and what is going wrong, and we will tell you plainly whether it needs a repair, an upgrade or a new electric fence system, then put the quote in writing.
