Trees - Disputes Between Neighbours
It is a requirement you express your concerns with the tree owner prior to any legal proceedings. You are required to show an attempt to resolve your tree issues and request the property owner take action to mitigate detrimental impacts to your property.
Failing mediation and unable to reach an agreement between both parties can be exhausting. Our Consulting Arborist can assist you with mediation, advise and reporting on Arboricultural facts to assist you with your issues.
Failing to come to an agreement may require you seek a determination through the Land & Environment Court of New South Wales. Legislation titled Trees Act 2006 (Disputes Between Neighbours) has been specifically created to enable the tree disputes to be heard. Tree reports NSW can assist you and act as your representation for your mater to be heard by the Commissioner of the Court.
