      A tree is causing damage to the back yard of my Sydney townhouse. By my geometry, 5% of the base of the tree is in our common property. 95% is in common property of the gated townhouses we back on to. When the dividing fence was built, the fencers cut the corner (presumably under instructions), isolating the troublesome tree on our side of the fence. 

      Since late 2015, we’ve been trying to get the gated lot do something about the tree, namely get Council permission, cut it down, and grind out the damaging roots. The job won’t be easy – there are power cables buried close to the tree and there’s the adjacent fence to be considered.

      They ignore all our letters/emails/phonecalls and all requests from Community Justice for mediation. Perhaps they think that trees beyond the fence aren’t their concern.

      What can I do to get some action? NCAT?
