What should I do about my dog’s barking?

I have a 14 month old border collie, he barks all the time at pretty much everything, birds, planes, cats, possums, random noises and cars especially. My neighbours were swearing at us and yelling out other things over the fence but now they have complained to the council. What should I do? I have looked on the internet and apparently citronella collars don’t work on border collies and I have tried an Ultrasonic remote and he just ignored it, it worked for a week but that’s all. I don’t believe in shock collars but i don’t know what else to do. He is a working dog, he has plenty of exercise he runs around a farm for about 8 hours each day and also goes for a walk most nights as well. PLEASE HELP. I don’t want him to go. And I don’t want a 600 dollar fine either.
I have tried telling him off. my dad gets really crabby with him. he has been tied up when he barks, it works for a little bit but when he gets sick of being tied up he starts barking and if you let him off he barks again

I don’t understand when your dog is barking. If he is working at a farm for 8 hrs a day, is he not with you in the evening for his walk & relaxing in the house?? & sleeping inside the house at night as well?? If he is out in the yard, try bringing him in to be with his family. Border Collies bark when they are bored or when they want to be with their people.
