Storms Expose Uncertified Work


December 2, 2025

The September and November storms reminded Alice Springs of one thing: fences that are not built to code simply do not last here.

While trees came down and power lines tangled, a lot of uncertified fences across town went flat. The common factor was clear. They were not engineered for Central Australia’s wind loads.


In the NT, any fence over 1.2 metres needs proper certification, engineering, and permits. Skip that, and the first heavy gust across the Todd is enough to take it down. It leaves your property exposed and your repair bill much higher than it needed to be.


BluedustNT builds fences that hold their ground. Our team specialises in certified, storm-ready installations across residential, commercial, and industrial sites.
From Colorbond to chainmesh and custom builds, every job is done to standard, backed by local experience in Central Australian weather.


If the last storm raised questions about your fence, we can give you a clear answer and a certified fix.
