If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your front fence in Randwick, you’re not alone. We’ve seen a huge surge in aluminium slat fencing installs across the Eastern Suburbs over the past 12 months — and Randwick is right at the centre of it.
This week we completed a full front fence and gate installation for a client in Randwick — white powder-coated aluminium slat panels running the full street frontage, with a matching pedestrian gate. The result speaks for itself.
Why Randwick Homeowners Are Choosing Aluminium Slat Fencing
Randwick is a suburb that takes its street appeal seriously. From the Federation homes near Coogee to the modern renovations closer to UNSW, front fences here do two jobs: they define the property boundary and they make a statement.
Timber used to be the go-to, but we’re seeing more and more Randwick clients switch to aluminium — and for good reason:
- No rot, no warping — Sydney’s coastal humidity and salt air destroys untreated timber within a few years. Aluminium doesn’t care.
- No repainting — powder-coated aluminium holds its colour for decades. Timber needs sanding and repainting every 2–3 years.
- Low maintenance — a hose down once or twice a year is all it needs.
- Clean modern lines — the vertical slat profile suits both heritage and contemporary homes.
- Security without bulk — the slatted design provides privacy and a barrier without feeling like a prison wall.
What’s Included in a Typical Aluminium Fence Install in Randwick
Every job is different, but a standard front fence installation in Randwick typically includes:
- Aluminium slat panels (powder-coated in your choice of colour — white, Colorbond Surfmist, grey, or custom)
- Aluminium or steel posts set into concrete footings
- Pedestrian gate with latch and hinges
- Optional: driveway gate (manual or motorised)
- Clean-up and removal of old fencing if required
How Much Does Aluminium Fencing Cost in Randwick?
Pricing depends on the linear metres, height, and whether a gate is included. As a guide:
- Aluminium slat fencing supply & install: $250–$400 per linear metre
- Pedestrian gate: $800–$1,500 installed
- Driveway gate (manual): $2,000–$3,500 installed
Most standard Randwick front fence jobs run between $3,500 and $8,000 depending on the size of the block and complexity of the install.
Council Considerations for Randwick Fencing
Randwick City Council generally allows front fences up to 1.2m in height without a DA (Development Application), provided they meet certain setback and transparency requirements. Fences over 1.2m or those on corner blocks may require approval.
We handle all the compliance and measurement requirements as part of our quote process — you won’t need to navigate council rules on your own.

The install featured in this post was completed in June 2026. The client chose white powder-coated aluminium slat panels to complement their rendered front wall, with a matching pedestrian gate complete with a house number plate. The whole job took two days and transformed the street appeal of the property.
