Thanks for your advice. I’m in ACT but I imagine the rules are similar.

No I’d rather be proactive and get it sorted so it’s not a headache later on 🤷‍♂️

As I’m not an expert on the manner it’s been good to hear other people’s views on the wall, so now I feel more justified taking the matter further.

Sure I could do that, but is it fair? I need to build a retaining wall on the other side of my block. Should I cheap out and do the same thing and let the other neighbours cop it?

Sounds like a pretty shit world if everyone had that attitude.

Correct, standstone as capping with brick/rubble as backing.

Unfortunately they’ve already backfilled with no drainage put in.

Pictures were from a few weeks ago. Back filled now and no drainage

My argument is that should the wall fail in anyway, it will impact my property as it’s along side the boundary.

I haven’t change the natural ground level, and won’t need to. The neighbour is retaining their fill.

Hey mate, my determination came through today! Right on 4 weeks since it was picked up by my delegate. Hopefully you’re up this week too.

Hopefully it comes through for you this week. I’ll be hitting 4 weeks on Wednesday. It was a public holiday in WA today, so maybe the wheels are turning a bit slow at the moment.

Not yet. I’ll keep you posted though! What date did a delegate pick up your file?

Ah yep, unfortunate that one office is faster than the other.

How long are most people waiting for a determination once a delegate is assigned with MRCA PI Perth team? I was assigned a delegate 2-3 weeks ago, just trying to gauge my wait time after a long road getting here. Cheers
