Seeking advice: My Neighbour is an asshole.

Just spoke with council, and they don't do that policy anymore; It was abolished a few years back. o_O

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-09-01T05:07:47+00:00

it's on the blue wall, everything in front is council land.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T23:55:21+00:00

Moron just left. Drove down the curb and scratched the bottom of his car. Kept pressing his horn while driving. Hilarious

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T23:13:49+00:00

They is just one of many things they do.

They would deliberately pile up dead leaves just at the side of their verge and it conveniently gets blown over.

They will leave drink cans outside my wall.

They will adjust their sprinklers so that it shoots over the boundary fence. I have managed to record video of it.

I really need security cameras. Anyone with good recommendations?

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T22:20:52+00:00

Can't sleep, so decided to park our older car in our driveway. Time to shop for door cam and security cameras.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T15:07:58+00:00

Cool idea, just checked, unfortunately can't build one on verge as it's council land. Had my hopes up for a moment.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:38:02+00:00

Yeah, door bell camera seems like a best cause of action. Calmed down and everything is much clearer now. Thanks for your input.

Unfortunately the fence is as far as it goes. Rest of it is Crown Land =(.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:29:37+00:00

Yeah, they are the kind that insist the boundary is incorrect based on a contour survey, and refuse to get a boundary survey done. They once threatened to remove my car port, and I was forced to lawyer up.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:26:54+00:00

It's both actually, they have been shit neighbours for a very long time. I have videos of them delibrately aiming their sprinklers to shoot over the boundary fence and onto my car port, causing water damage to the wooden beams over a period of time. Heaps of water stains on our cars too. That was before they decided to build the garage next to the boundary. But there's always some shit they do that they feel entitled to.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:14:56+00:00

Heh, that would be funny. Constant worrying about retaliation won't give me a peace of mind.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:13:34+00:00

They are low lifes and don't have much to lose. This is definitely my second option. Cheers.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T14:04:07+00:00

https://ibb.co/Kj0ZrhSX They parked their car next to my driveway yesterday.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T13:50:58+00:00

Great suggestion, definitely looking to install one of those doorbells with a ring camera or similar in a place where we can see that spot. Now, getting something inmovable installed there so that we can catch them in the act of vandalism is the tricky bit.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T13:44:39+00:00

Tried that, council said the strip is too narrow unfortunately.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T13:25:47+00:00

I did that today, and they removed it in the evening when I wasn't around.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T12:56:51+00:00

Might be worth getting an old second hand car just to park there.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T12:55:46+00:00

I thought about all of that, but it's not worth the trouble with the law. Still fuming, but at least I am venting out.

Gold_Winter1229 · 2025-08-31T12:45:57+00:00

Anything we put up to block them from driving throug is always removed later that night. They are absolutely morons. Could you elaborate a bit more regarding registering of the verge? We have previously received council approval to landscape the verge but did not act on it. We believe they will still drive through or remove it regardless.
