Securing Kelvin's properties within its boomed-off perimeters
Many Kelvin properties sit within boomed-off areas, creating a neighbourhood-level perimeter. The challenge is making sure the individual property fence, whether for a freehold house or a sectional title unit, provides a reliable second line of defence. Intrusions often test boundaries along busier roads like South Road and Marlboro Drive, or green belts like the area around the Sandspruit, making a fully functional fence important.
Our approach in Kelvin focuses on the fence's integrity. For sectional title schemes, we make sure long, shared perimeters are correctly zoned to pinpoint faults quickly. On freestanding properties with established gardens, we check for vegetation interference and make sure brackets are secure on older walls. We verify that earthing systems are effective, as this is a frequent cause of failure that can disable the entire system.
When selling, the Electric Fence System Certificate is typically requested for an ownership change after 1 October 2012. For a freestanding house in Kelvin, the seller is responsible for this. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate is held by the body corporate for the shared perimeter, and agents should request it from the managing agent. Tyson is a registered electric fence installer with the Department of Employment and Labour; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Kelvin
My house is in a boomed-off part of Kelvin. Why does my electric fence still need to be compliant?
Boomed access adds a layer of security, but the electric fence is your direct perimeter defence. For a sale, an inspection for a certificate will check the entire fence for compliance, regardless of other security measures in the area.
Our complex wall runs along the Sandspruit. Are there special rules for that section?
Yes. Any part of a fence that borders a public space, like a park or the Sandspruit, needs correctly spaced warning signs. It's a key safety and compliance point an inspector will check, making sure the public is properly alerted.
