What a temporary fencing costs in Perth
Perth's sandy, free-draining soils are easy and quick to work, so where driven posts are used they go in fast, and weighted free-standing panels on feet are simple to set and shift. Labour sits near the national average, so the crewed portion of a hire is not the premium; delivery and pickup across a sprawling, car-based metro can add travel time to outer sites, but the ground itself keeps install labour low.
Isolation is the background factor rather than a direct one here, since panels are a standard hire item held locally rather than freighted per job, so the eastern-states lead-time problem that hits specialist materials does not bite. The dry summers mean exposed gusty sites still need proper weighting and bracing, and coastal blocks favour galvanised panels that shrug off salt air over a long hire.
