Hi all,

I live on a no through street (Place) and in front of my property:
  1. I dont have any lighting. Its a total darkness at nights which is not safe for me and my family. There is an electric pole installed but no lighting on it.
  2. No proper street landscaping. Still very bushy, no proper Kerb with grass, rainwater gutter (not sure whats correct name for it) has no cover over it (its like a small creek in front of my property with a bridge to my land).
  3. There is a developer at the end of the street without close to zero progress over the last 12 months. Apparently they are developing the street and some lands up there.

When I contact the council, they tell me the followings:
  1. There are no low voltage electricity installed in the street where you live so adding lighting wont be possible.
  2. The developer at the end of the street, MIGHT have all of the lighting and landscaping already covered so we cant do anything now.
Can anyone please let me know what are my options? Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers,
Kam.
