Looking for compliant TPZ fencing in Perth? WA Temporary Fencing Supplies delivers reliable tree protection zone fencing that keeps your construction project compliant and on schedule. With over 15 years of experience and thousands of successful installations, we’re Perth’s trusted TPZ compliance specialists.
Our TPZ Fencing Solutions
Our tree protection zone fencing uses the same high-quality materials and specifications as our standard temporary fencing installations. We supply galvanised welded mesh panels with either a 2.5mm or 4mm wire mesh, ensuring durability throughout your project timeline. Our standard temporary fence panels are perfectly suited for TPZ applications, providing the physical barrier protection required under Australian standards.
What's included in our TPZ fencing:
- Galvanised welded mesh panels (2.4m x 2.1m standard)
- Concrete feet or metal feet for panel stability
- Clamps and couplers for secure panel connections
- Optional stays and support braces for enhanced stability (however, these aren’t usually required for tree protection given the small areas fenced).
All fencing materials meet the durability requirements for construction site applications while providing the visual barrier and access control needed for tree protection zones.
Rental vs Purchase Options
Short-term projects (under 6 months): Rental recommended. Our flexible rental terms provide cost-effective solutions for standard construction timelines, with competitive daily and weekly rates.
Extended projects: Purchase options available. For longer-term developments or multiple concurrent projects, purchasing provides better value and complete equipment control.
Bulk pricing for multiple sites We offer competitive pricing structures for construction companies and developers managing multiple properties requiring TPZ protection.
Flexible terms to suit project timelines Our rental agreements adapt to your construction schedule, with options for early returns or extensions as project needs change.
Why is the minimum TPZ radius required?
The minimum TPZ radius protects trees from construction activity and damage by preventing soil compaction, root damage from excavation, and maintaining the structural root zone critical for tree stability. The radius calculations under Australian Standard AS 4970-2009 ensure adequate protection based on tree size and species.
Do I need TPZ fencing for all trees on my site?
TPZ fencing is not required for all trees. Mandatory protection applies to:
- All street trees (council-owned verge trees) during the adjacent development
- Significant trees listed on council registers
- Trees protected under local planning schemes
Private property trees generally don’t require TPZ fencing unless they have significant status, heritage value, or fall under specific council protection requirements, or if an owner wants to retain or protect the tree during a build.
How quickly can you install TPZ fencing?
We typically install TPZ fencing within 24-48 hours of confirmation, depending on location and availability. Our experienced installation team ensures compliance with Australian standards and council requirements.
What happens if I damage a tree without proper protection?
Tree damage without proper protection can result in significant penalties. Under WA legislation, fines can reach $200,000 for individuals under the Planning and Development Act 2005. Many councils impose additional local penalties, and you may be liable for tree replacement costs, which can exceed $6,900 per tree.
Do you provide documentation for council approval?
WA Temporary Fencing Supplies provides fencing installation and equipment supply only. All permits, council approvals, and compliance documentation remain the responsibility of the builder or developer. We recommend consulting with qualified arborists for approval requirements.
Can you work with our project arborist?
Yes, we work with any project arborist or consultant who specifies TPZ fencing requirements. Simply provide us with the tree locations requiring protection and the specified protection zone dimensions, and we’ll handle the installation.
What’s included in your TPZ fencing service?
Our TPZ service includes three key components:
- Initial mobilisation to install temporary fencing and secure the designated trees
- Final mobilisation to dismantle and collect equipment upon project completion
- Equipment hire for the agreed rental period specified in your quote
Do you service regional WA projects?
We typically serve projects from Two Rocks down to Dawesville. For customers with projects beyond this area, we offer ‘dry hire’ equipment pickup. This means clients arrange their own transport to collect, install, and return equipment to our Balcatta facility upon completion.
Can I hire TPZ fencing for multiple trees?
Absolutely. We provide TPZ fencing solutions for single trees or entire development sites requiring multiple tree protection zones. Our team can assess your site requirements and provide appropriate equipment quantities and installation layouts.
How long can I hire TPZ fencing?
Our TPZ fencing hire periods are flexible and designed to match your construction timeline. Whether you need protection for weeks or months, we offer competitive rates and flexible terms to suit your project schedule.
What if my project timeline changes?
We understand construction projects can face delays or accelerated schedules. Contact us as soon as possible if your timeline changes, and we’ll work with you to adjust rental periods or collection schedules accordingly.
