Hi,
My neighbour's fibro garage is built 20cm over the boundary. It has been like this for more than 15 years.
I would like it removed from my property.
Hornsby Council sent one of those Building Certifiers, and said that because it has been there for more than 7 years, the Statute of Limitations say they can't do anything.
How can a person build over onto someone else' land and just as long as it has been there long enough, the council will not do anything? It doesn't make sense to me.
I thought it is all black and white; something built on my land is encroachment under property law, isn't it?
