      I know I live in QLD but I suspect the solution might be the same in all states.

      One of our neighbours has a large property (freehold) and in one corner he has bamboo growing uncontrollably (20-30m high) which adjoins our Strata complex. This bamboo dwarfs the low-set within metres of the boundary fence and the owner (of the freehold property) is not interested in doing anything about it.

      I know we can trim branches overhanging our property (in this case an exclusive use area) but is this a strata issue or the job of the lot owner. Ideally we would like for the bamboo to be removed, but it only affect one lot (which is tenanted).

      Legally we can trim the bamboo and bill the owner up to $300 but how do we get them to pay, plus this bamboo grows incredibly fast so it would have to be a regular job. Bamboo is already taking over this units private yard and rotting the boundary fence.

      It would be cheaper in the long run for the Strata to pay for the removal of the bamboo but this would mean spending Strata money on another property.
