Drawings detailing technical guidance for embellishment design

Specific fences and gates may be appropriate for different open space settings. Approval must be obtained from the asset owner/custodian. See LIM fences and gates for further guidance.

These fences are not suitable for providing edge protection where there is risk of injury from a fall that is greater than 1.0 m. This includes culverts, bridge crossings and retaining walls.
