Queensland's Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011 governs dividing fence cost sharing. Toowoomba's 690 metre elevation means winter frost is a regular occurrence, concrete fence post footings should be set adequately deep to prevent frost heave movement over time, which is particularly relevant for pool safety fence posts where stability is critical. Toowoomba's Darling Downs soils are generally stable black cracking clay (vertisol type), fence post footings should be appropriately specified for these soil conditions.
