A woman crashes her car through a fence and onto the Brisbane airport tarmac Tuesday night, forcing an emergency stop to all flights for two hours.

Brisbane Airports operations manager says high security fencing will ensure G20 leaders wont be placed at risk in November, following an incident in which a woman used a car to smash her way on to the airfield.

The car was travelling about 35km/h when it crashed through the fence near the domestic terminal on Tuesday night, travelling a further 400 metres before stopping on the tarmac about 200 metres from the runway.

BACoperations manager Stephen Goodwin said tier 3 fencing - capable of withstanding a moving car - had already been installed in areas where G20 planes would land.

Mr Goodwin also said the airport was midway through a $2 million plan to install tier 3 fencing around 15 kilometres of the 27-kilometre perimeter by August.

Ground-based radar technology, to detect unauthorised people and objects, will also be set up.

He confirmed the fence area that was breached on Tuesday night was earmarked to be upgraded.

For one local group, fences are the fast-track to freedom for local dogs tethered by their owners.

Unchaining Moore Dogs is a non-profit organization whose goal is to untether dogs in Moore County, one at a time, and provide them with a comfortable environment where they can run free. It seeks to educate the community concerning the ramifications of chaining dogs, which is regarded by some as cruel and potentially harmful to the animal.

Noelle Lenser founded the group in 2010 and is now seeking to grow the organization to help more dogs.

Lenser was inspired by Donna Lawrence and her dog, Susie, as well as other animal advocacy groups.

Lawrence is an author and speaker, who, along withSusie, a pitbull who was burned and abused by a prior owner, helped get Susies Law passed in 2010 which toughens state animal cruelty laws.

Lenser was involved in the effort to get the law passed and said being involved spurred her to get more involved in animal advocacy groups and eventually start Unchaining Moore Dogs later that year.

I have a soft spot for dogs on chains and for pitbulls, which are often the type of dogs that are chained,Lenser said. It just breaks my heart to see a dog in a yard on a short chain.

Lenser said tethering a dog can change its personality, causing the animal to become depressed and even violent.

[Being chained] is a horrible life for a dog, Lenser said. Often times the dog-owner relationship is a bad one if a dog is chained up. By building fences we can improve the lives of both the dog and the owner.

Unchaining Moore Dogs provides free fences, dog houses, tarps and other supplies to dog owners.It also offers free spaying and neutering and deworming.

Canterbury University could become the first New Zealand campus to put up fences and lock the public out if a city council alcohol bylaw is passed.

The council is considering a bylaw that could open the way for students to get $250 instant fines for drinking on university land because of a change to what is considered a "public place".

The university is opposed to the rule that extends the definition of "public places" to private land with open access, such as its campus.

At present the university is within the Ilam/Riccarton permanent alcohol ban zone.

University vice-chancellor Rod Carr said the only way to protect students from police alcohol ban fines would be to "put up fences and gates", and "assert the private nature" of its land.

The Christchurch City Council says it must adhere to the Local Government Act.

Universities New Zealand said it would consider how its eight other campuses would be affected.

Canterbury University was one of 16 submitters on the council's Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Amendment Bylaw.

Carr said the change in definition of a public place meant it "may well be pushed over time to stop access".

New Zealand universities were "all pretty open because that's how we want them to be", but the bylaw would make private campus events like barbecues impossible.

CLARK FREEPORT- From expressways to fences.

The Tollways Management Corp. (TMC), operator of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) and the Subic-Clark- Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) has ventured into producing and selling eco-friendly fence system named TeMCrete.

The first of its kind in the country, TeMCrete is a pre-fabricated concrete panel and post assembly fence system.

Instead of steel, the fence is bamboo-reinforced making it energy efficient. It is easy to install, strong and economical too, TMC said. TMC stressed that the tongue-in-groove design of the post members makes the structures installation easier.

The fence is durable, sturdy and protected against theft. Compared to other pre-fabricated and conventional fence system, TeMCrete is stronger as it maintains a 3,000 psi concrete strength, it added.

It took TMC about two years to develop the technology and secure the post. Now it serves as the perimeter fencing system of both NLEx and SCTEx. The product is patented under the Intellectual Property Office and passed the requirement of the National Structural Code of the Philippines, TMC also said.

TMC announced that this innovative fencing system is now commercially available and can be used for residential subdivisions, property and land development enclosures.

Interested parties may contact TMCs Business Development Team at (02) 580-8900 local 8869, (0918)8920105 or email them at kasanpedro@tollways.net.ph. , TMC said.

CIRCULAR Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker has questioned the move by the Department of State Growth, formerly DIER, to erect fences along Temma Road to protect rare orchids.

CIRCULAR Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker has questioned the move by the Department of State Growth, formerly DIER, to erect fences along Temma Road to protect rare orchids.

The fence on the eastern side of the road is 750metres long and the fence on the west is slightly shorter.

A spokesperson from the department said there are several threatened orchid species that are only found in the Tiger Creek Flats part of the West Coast, one of the species has less than 40 known individuals in existence.

NEW FENCE QUESTIONED: People from the Marrawah region have been going to Circular Head Deputy Mayor John Oldaker with complaints about the fences along Temma Road that have been put up to protect rare orchids.

"One environmental mitigation measure is the construction of roadside post and wire fences on both sides of the road, which will minimise the opportunity for vehicles and pedestrians to access areas that contained threatened orchid species," the spokesperson said.

"The fences are located in a similar position to typical roadside safety barriers beyond the guideposts and are designed to break off on impact to reduce the risk to motorists."

Cr Oldaker said there were more safety concerns that the department did not consider when creating the fence, which he describes as similar to a bridge barrier.

"The issue will be that there is cattle running about down there and if a beast gets in on that road, and they will, at night time once you put lights on stock and they've got no way to get out then it becomes a road safety issue," he said.

Cr Oldaker said he had people from the Marrawah region come to him with complaints about the fences.

A new pamphlet and guide have been developed to help explain existing fencing rules in Selwyn to people considering building or adding fences.

People are able to choose their own fencing, but need to make sure the fence complies with District Plan requirements, which include rules about how and where fences can be established, depending on the location of the fence.

In Living Z areas, a residential zone in parts of Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton and in the Lowes Road Outline Development Plan area in Rolleston, specific fencing rules are in place affecting the sides of properties facing either road or reserve boundaries. These rules allow for individual styles of fencing, depending on the location and the intended purpose of the fence within certain parameters that affect the height and way fences are built, as stated in the District Plan.

"These rules are in place to help create attractive, safe neighbourhoods," says Gabi Wolfer, Urban Designer at Selwyn District Council.

"Fencing is more than just a physical barrier defining the edge of a property. Fencing is part of the street scene. If it is well designed, it can complement the environment and can help to make a neighbourhood into an attractive and a pleasant place to live and visit."

Gabi says that fencing also plays an important role in providing security both for people living in a section, and for adults and children using a footpath, road or reserve.

"The rules are designed to ensure that the parts of the property which border street corners or reserves are visible, which helps to reduce the risk of tagging and crime, while also improving sight lines for motorists and making it safer for people using public spaces nearby."

Concerned at the number of native animals becoming caught in barbed wire on fences, Young District Landcare decided to try and do something practical to help.

Concerned at the number of native animals becoming caught in barbed wire on fences, Young District Landcare decided to try and do something practical to help.

They came up with the idea of Barb Busters.

The group recently held two working bees on Young properties, removing over three kilometres of barbed wire.

The first property off Moppity Road forms part of the Douglas Range, sometimes referred to as Black Range, and adjoins Young Nature Reserve, a local National Park.

The second property is in the Crowther area and is part of the Illunie Range.

Both properties are very rich in flora and fauna, enabling the groups to explore the bushland before getting down to work.

Unfortunately, the remains of two Tawny Frogmouths were found in the barbed wire, so the group felt a great sense of satisfaction after removing the barbed wire, in the knowledge that no more Tawny Frogmouths or other native animals would be caught.

One volunteer who helped on both days was Young resident Marianne OToole.
