NSW Using Private Roads to Take Photos for Compensation Claim?

[Triston Dixon]

Hi, I have a question regarding private roads.

Can insurance companies use a private road to take photos of people doing their usual activities and use them in a compensation claim?

If the road is open to the public, yes.

Private road, or long driveway?

The road signage states private road - not through traffic. The road is maintained by the land owners, however, there is no gate to prevent access from the public.

Outside of utility companies that access meter box's etc for meter readings, the normal person can only enter private property to access someones front door.

If any person enters a private property, without permission and with out the intent of going to a persons front door, then this is trespass.
