As a Perth residential homeowner, if you find yourself in the situation where a fence dividing your property with your adjoining neighbour's property is blown down or damaged (for whatever reason), a situation can arise where your neighbour argues that you should pay the entire costs of repair or replacement of the dividing fence.
Did you know that there are strict laws in place in Western Australia on the area of dividing fences? Probably not and that's understandable.
