Whingeing Malvern East neighbour complains over Western Bulldogs-themed fence
Rebecca Di Nuzzo, Stonnington Leader
March 31, 2017 12:00am
A LOYAL Western Bulldogs fan who painted their Malvern East fence red, white and blue after last year’s AFL grand final win has found themselves on the outer with at least one of their neighbours.
But a club legend has come to their defence, saying footy fans should be able to paint their fence whatever colours they wanted.
Stonnington councillor Sally Davis said she received a complaint from a homeowner who lives near the Beaver St property.
This led Cr Davis to ask council officers at a council meeting last month what policies, if any, regulated fence colours in the municipality.

Yarraville’s Railway Hotel also showed its true colours, with owner Jason Sneddon painting it red, white and blue. Picture:
Kylie ElseSpeaking to Leader after the meeting, she said there were a lot of heritage properties in that part of Malvern East and she personally believed the football-inspired fence colours were inappropriate.
“I think we should have some street regulations. Apparently there are no restrictions and I am going to follow it up with the (council’s) planning department,” Cr Davis said.
“I think when it’s a football team, it’s a bit over the top.”
But Western Bulldogs football great Doug Hawkins said proud football fans should be allowed to paint their fence any colour they want.

“It’s their property and if they want to paint it red, white and blue, so what? When I was a kid growing up in the western suburbs, every second house had their fence painted,” Hawkins said.
Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief executive Andrew Westacott also weighed in on the topic on 3AW this morning, saying no heritage building or statute of limitations put a smile on faces like the colourful fence did.
“I see a lot of people going past and smiling at it,” he said.

Mad Doggies supporter Cam Duncan painted the fence of his Beach Rd home in Sandringham to show his support.
The passionate Bulldogs fan said his fence was painted in the Doggies’ colours as well after their drought-breaking premiership win, but admitted it had since returned to its original hue.
“I put a line in sand and painted it back mostly. My wife and her friends painted it, I just repainted it back,” he said.
The council’s chief executive Warren Roberts said the Beaver St home was impacted by a heritage overlay but a planning permit was not required by the resident to paint their fence.

“Compliance penalties are determined on the specific details of each contravention. In this instance no contravention has occurred,” he said.
Mr Roberts also said there were no council policies or planning provisions pertaining to permissible fence colours across the municipality.
The owner of the Bulldogs-themed fence did not respond by deadline to the Leader’s request for comment and the neighbour who made the complaint did not wish to comment.
Meanwhile, fence disputes continue to be the top reason for neighbourhood disputes, new data has revealed.
Madness!
It is their property so they can paint their fence whatever colours they like and as Bulldogs supporters waiting for 55-60 odd years they should be able to have the choice to paint their fence red, white and blue whichever suburb they are in as we have passionate Doggies supporters in very suburb (west, north, east, south) of our city.
