    I've upset my neighbour - oops...

    Got a letter from the Council today - A schedule 2 notice to comply.

    I know it was my next door neighbour, as he's a grumpy bugger and the only one on the street that no one gets along with - won't come to street parties, have a beer on a Saturday arvo, etc.

    Admittedly the front yard looks like a bit of a tip at the moment as I've been peddling hard to get the Caravan ready for Corowa and Melrose, so I don't have an issue with the clean up part as I was going to do that when we came back anyway.

    One of the items though said to remove all unregistered vehicles from the property - jokes on him as all the vehicles and trailers I have are all registered or on Club Permits, so he can suck it on that one.

    Will call the Council tomorrow to clarify that bit as I'm not sure what they want me to do there.

    One things for sure though, my Neighbour will be having 3 cars parked out the front of his place from now on so my front yard looks good and uncluttered...

    He'll have a cow about that - he already cracks it when I park my work car out the front of his place, but hey, if they are legally parked, not sure what he can do.

    Anyone know if there's a generic rule about how many registered cars can be kept on a residential premises?

    I also need to find out how high I can go with fence screens so I can keep the nosey **** from looking over the fence from his back verandah.

    You'll have to sell up.
    I know a really nice place you can buy, with an understanding neighbour, and no need to park vehicles in the street.

    I was thinking more along the lines that my neighbour should sell up...

    We have to park our son's car on the front lawn as Kristopher go hit when he was park out the front of our home and they took the back driver door out. And last week Brendon had his car park outside our home after he had a lesson with Mario and someone back into him hitting his right hand blinker and broke it and drove away.
    One one in Tecoma know how to do a 3 point turn in our street.
    So now both car are on the lawn.
    Drive way has the boat and Mario's disco2 and my car and the lawn also has the trailer and the camper trailer and yes they are all registered so let the council laugh about that, They can not do anything about it.
    Mario is getting sick of fixing the boys car from people who can not drive and take off.

    What is the ofence they have accused you of?
    Hume City Council - Local Laws

    Still looking.

    The way I see it, you can't have unregistered vehicles on council land. See section 3.5.

    They could get you on 3.1.2 so puting the registered vehicles in front of the neighbours place and backing the van up the side with the 101 would be a good move.

    Since when has it been illegal to park an unregistered vehicle on your property.

    I'd be telling council (and the neighbour) to shove it where the sun don't shine - I'm sure they could find a place like that - even in Sunbury.

    Up here, we go next door and talk to the neighbour. And the council normally fronts up, face to face. I'm glad I live here. Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I've only seen or heard from anyone from the council once in the twenty years I have lived here. (and that was about a new street number) The only communications I have from them are rates notices.

    I'm glad you live there too Bob. . Funny thing is that I know everyone in the street, also everyone at the end of the street, and 4 houses behind me on an adjacent street. The only person that won't talk to each other around here is the douche next door. I think most streets have them - you know the one that doesn't get on with everybody and just causes issues for the sake of it.

    Also funny is that all my neighbours except him have offered to come over and help clean up on Friday arvo - they're all on Facebook and are friends on there so have seen the message SWMBO made about it. My bet is he will cop more grief from my other neighbours than myself. That's happened in the past too.

    I've been accused on breaching regulation 3.1 of Local law no 1. "Allowing land at .... To be unsightly or detrimental to the health and general amenity of the Neighbourhood"

    That's pretty wide ranging and open to interpretation. I'm not questioning the mess - it needs cleaning up, but if someone starts picking on my cars, they will incur my full wrath. Can't see that they can though as making an assessment of what is a nice vehicle or an ugly one is purely subjective. There are a lot of Fords in the street - they are far uglier than anything else around, maybe they should all be issues a notice too...

    Oh, and they're not just talking about the front yard either - they say the entire property. Some of the details can only be known to my neighbour who is the only one that can see into my backyard.
