6Approved fencing#
Where temporary fencing is a requirement to contain stock on SCRs, the fence must:
- be an electric fence in accordance with Australian Standard 3014
- have electric fence energizers in accordance with Australian/New Zealand Standard 3350.2.76
- have the appropriate warning signs
- not contain barbed wire strands
- be 3.5 m from the traffic lane – unless TMR has specified a greater distance when approving the permit (a greater distance may be required for road safety or to protect transport infrastructure)
- be maintained in a reasonable condition
- be supported by "pig tail" pickets (or another fence support approved by the local TMR office as part of the permit). The use of star pickets (or similar) in the SCR for any fencing or stock purpose is prohibited.
