Unfortunately, by-laws can’t regulate interpersonal relationships. The advice above about contacting the police is good advice. It may be necessary to contact the police if the verbal abuse, loud music, phone calls etc. continue even if the bins are no longer an issue. There should be a police contact number for non-emergencies (131 444 in QLD) for you to phone about the loud music, verbal abuse, prank phone calls, etc.
It’s too late now, but one way to have approached the situation, would have been to put your bins where your neighbour puts her bins. After all, it is common property and not an exclusive use area attached to your neighbour’s lot. Since she’s behaving irrationally, that might have provoked her into tipping your bins over which becomes a health issue for you to contact the local council and your owners committee.
