The suburb we are in stipulates the type of fencing, colour etc so we went through the correct avenues as outlined by the 'Fences Act'. We supplied a hand delivered (though they didn't answer the knock on their door) 30 day notice, the type of fencing and 3 quotes.

I'm currently trying to organise a round table meeting with an interpreter, our other neighbours who are also trying to get these problem neighbours to cough up for their half of the fence, and our land office. I guess short of taking them to court, are their any other suggestions or has anyone else had this experience? I havent, and i havent looked to much into it, but on face value its not the saviour its trying to make out to be. Shared equity in your home is never a good idea.
