Securing Morningside Hills' shared complex and estate perimeters
In Morningside Hills, most properties are apartments or townhouses inside complexes, many with long boundary walls shared by all residents. These perimeters can run the length of a block between major roads like Kelvin Drive and Rivonia Road. A single fault, whether from a failing component or a loose bracket on a shared wall, can compromise security for the entire complex without showing where the problem lies.
Our approach for these large Morningside Hills perimeters is to split the fence into multiple, manageable zones. This ensures that if one section trips, the rest of the fence remains active and the fault is easy to locate. We also make sure the energiser and battery are correctly specified for the length of the fence, and that high-traffic entrance and exit gates are safe for constant residential use.
When selling a unit in a Morningside Hills complex, the electric fence certificate is the body corporate's responsibility, not the individual owner's. Sale agreements usually ask for a certificate for any change of ownership after 1 October 2012, so agents should request a copy from the managing agent early. If the fence has been extended or the energiser replaced, a new one for the whole perimeter will be needed. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour to issue the certificate; proof of registration is available on request.

Questions from Morningside Hills
Our complex fence is one long zone. Why is that a problem?
On a long perimeter, a single zone makes it very difficult to find a fault. It also means a single problem, like a branch touching a wire, brings down the whole fence. We recommend splitting it into zones so faults are easy to find and the rest of the perimeter stays secure.
The certificate for our complex is ten years old. Is it still valid for a sale?
An electric fence certificate does not expire. As long as the fence has not been altered, extended, or had a new energiser fitted since it was issued, the original certificate is sufficient for the body corporate to provide for a sale.
