Thanks Whale and JimmyT for all the advice. I’ll have to try and sort it in new year. It’s not something I’m looking forward to though! It’d be better if I could collect the water and use it for pot plants.

It’s a strata plan and there’s a parapet wall between the other owner and my place. I spoke with the SM and was told it’s up to me to erect something (at my expense) to prevent the water blowing over to my carport but all the other owners have to approve of material to be used, design and colour etc. The excess water just runs onto the road and our individual driveways and in my case, carport.

Thanks Whale and JimmyT. I did ask the neighbour if the sprinkler could be turned down so less was coming over the fence onto the car but was told it wasn’t possible and if if it was there’s so much water floating around it’d be impossible for the car to remain completely dry. The sprinklers go on about 6.30am and when there’s a strong southerly breeze the car gets covered on one side. I don’t think I have what it takes to fight over these things either directly with the other owner or at a meeting. I’m thinking I made the wrong decision buying into a strata. Asking for everyone’s permission to have something like an evaporative aircon installed to changing the style of house numbers, seems such a drag.
