Neighbourly disputes usually come under two categories: noise complaints and property infringements.


It has become evident that some people are confused about where to begin or how to go about making a complaint or getting help.

If reasoning with your neighbour has failed, mediation can be an option that is available. Queensland and Victoria have dispute resolution programs run by the Department of Justice that can deal with disputes between neighbours, while in New South Wales, help can be sought through a Community Justice Centre.
