    I would be sending a letter to the EC:

    1. Asking them by what authority they were demanding removal of the washing machine

    2. Did they have development approval for change of use (if that’s what they are planning)?

    3. Are the aware that they have to get orders from NCAT before they can touch private property left on common property?

    Also, as you Mum is a pensioner, it only costs about $10 to raise an issue at Fair Trading or NCAT.  If you don’t get a satisfactory answer, she could seek an interim order forbidding the EC from doing anything.

    Perhaps if you explain all this to the EC in writing, they might back off.
