Erecting fences may require Council approval. To determine if approval is required please visit the Council website for more details http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/property/Building_and_renovating/fences
Properties that are identified as heritage, flood control or foreshore lots will require a Development Application and consideration by Council. You should refer to your locality in Council's Pittwater 21 Development Control Plan under "Fences" for specific requirements for fencing that may apply to your property.
