Can Land & Environment Court be considered?
Example: Neighbours planted cane on their side of the fence (private property).
My side of the fence is a Strata Apartment. The cane grew to be 30 metres high blocking sun to two bedrooms. I applied to Land & Environment Court to have the cane cut back to 2.3 metres & maintained OR removed completely.
Land & Environment Court came to site, listened to both owners & dcreed cane should be removed in its entirety. If Court orders were not followed, penalties would be applied.
Outlay to me $130 to submit issue to Court & time to provide copies to neighbour & council of submission. Attendance at court (first hearing) & attendance on site (2nd hearing)
