Problems with neighbours? Noise, rubbish, fences & retaining walls, boundaries, animals/pests, overhanging vegetation, access and common property issues, privacy, children, plumbing problems. There are several options you can try …

Of course, the best way to proceed is to talk & try to work out a suitable arrangement. You may need to live near each other for a long time so it’s in both your best interests to remain on good terms. It can be uncomfortable for these disputes to be ongoing.

Sometimes, the problem persists or the unreasonable behaviour continues, or you are just unable to resolve it for some other reason.

Do not rush off to court! You don’t need to contact a lawyer either. These options are always a last resort. They are costly and can often exacerbate the problem.

Mediation can assist you to find a solution and reach an agreement you can both accept and get back to living peacefully. We won’t make the decision, but help you find and consider an appropriate solution, together.

Community justice centres offer free mediation services but it is often time limited.
