    With a lot of money I could go for an injunction with VCAT but that would add to the stress.

    I don’t know that this would take a lot of money.  As for stress, it may increase in the short term but reduce in the long term.

    This FactSheet (if you haven’t already seen it) has all the information you need.  It also has a link to this page of bodies that might help and this page for urgent hearings.

    Considering VCAT’s stated parameters for an interim injunction are …

    your case is serious

    you will suffer damage that can’t be compensated by a payment

    the injury or inconvenience to you will be greater than the injury or inconvenience the other party would experience.

    … I would think you would get a hearing, at least.

    Just a couple of thoughts.  Get as many neighbours as you can to support you and try to avoing making it personal or about undue influence on the committee.  That kind of thing could shifts you from legitimately aggrieved resident to vengeful owner or conspiracy theorist in the minds of Tribunal Members.

    Good luck
