Never fails – the very day I post something asking people not to use their email addreses as their “nicknames” someone goes and does it. That’s how you end up with a daft name like Footrot.
To answer the question, how about contacting the owner and politely asking them to stop over-watering their plants?
Failing that, complain to the Body Corporate about the water coming into your lot. If the planters are common property, it’s directly a body corporate matter. If they are lot property, the the BC can intervene becasue it’s happening on their property.
As for who pays, it should be the BC initiall, partly becasue only they have the right to enter lot property to investigate.
But if the problem is caused by the lot owner and they have refused to address or fix it, then they will be ultimately liable.
