1The person named is an applicant under the Sheep Fencing/Handling Scheme and has already received an approval to proceed with the sheep fencing concerned.

My Department's specifications for such fencing permit an applicant to use either timber or concrete posts, provided they meet the requirements of those specifications. The specifications concerned are available on my Department's website.
