The Sunshine Coast's mix of coastal suburbs and hinterland acreage properties creates varied fencing requirements.

Sunshine Coast Coastal Salt Air and Hinterland Rural Fencing

Sunshine Coast coastal suburbs (Noosa, Coolum, Mooloolaba) within 2-3km of the ocean experience salt air exposure, Colorbond fencing benefits from annual rinsing in these locations. The Sunshine Coast's significant hinterland acreage (Kenilworth, Maleny, Mapleton, Cooroy areas) has large rural fencing demand for post-and-rail timber, post-and-wire stock fencing, and electric fence installations, Sunshine Coast fencers experienced in rural fencing are plentiful in the hinterland. Pool fencing compliance is significant on the Sunshine Coast given the pool culture, always request a compliance certificate from your fencer. qbcc.qld.gov.au
