Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! Re: Neighbour raising their block/retaining wall - Perth 7Oct 06, 2009 12:14 am yep, understand your point. I suppose what we're going to have to do is lodge something with the council to say we don't want to see the retaining wall from our side. According to an info sheet on our council's website, if you raise or lower the 'natural level of land' on your property then YOU have to have the retainer on YOUR property.. the 'natural level' has to be kept the same as it initially was on the boundary line. Our boundary is just over 32.5m long but he only wants to raise the back 3/4 of his property... times 2 maybe 3 courses high of limestones blocks equals a LOT of money that we can't afford with our budget. I'm sure it will work out ok Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades.
