Trees causing damage to property
Council does not mediate in neighbour disputes over trees.
When there’s damage occurring or likely to occur, residents should discuss the matter with the tree owner.
If an amicable resolution can’t be reached, the next course of action would be to involve an independent mediator such as the Community Justice Centre.
If this is unsuccessful, the final option is to go to the Land and Environment Court under the Trees (Disputes between Neighbours) Act 2006 where a legal Order may be imposed on the tree owner to take action.
