If you applied for the permit and were the developer it is up to you to chase the subbie. Put yourself in the position of the new owner or neighbour, you should be fixing it if you didn’t build it properly. I don’t know what “stress” is but a 3 yo wall should look brand new irrespective of what it is built from. A retaining wall should be built for a 60yr design life. https://staconsulting.com.au/retaining- ... ign-guide/ Thankyou for your input and the pdf link. Hmm had no idea at the time applying for the approval would make me liable for the contractors work - should have got the contractor to submit this, learn these things in hindsight ! After wall was completed council required a engineer certification which I did get and supply for the wall. (it basically stated everything was built to standard). Would that change anything re liability ? Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that.
