Neighbourhood Disputes
Please note that property disputes between neighbours are civil matters and Council cannot intervene.
Civil matters must be dealt with privately by the parties involved. This includes:
- Disagreements over boundary fences
- Complaints regarding overhanging trees/shrubs
For assistance with neighbourhood disputes the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria offers a free advisory and mediation service.
