In this situation, we can support you with ways to manage the problem and steps you can take to improve your relationship with your neighbour.
Keep written records Write down each incident. Stick to the facts when describing the event, include where, when, and who was involved at the time. Note how it affected you and what actions you took in response at the time e.g. reported incident to Council or Police. Report the incident If you don’t feel safe, or if antisocial behaviour has occurred, call the appropriate agency for support: Call Tasmania Police on 131 444 (non-emergency) Call Emergency Services on 000. Call your local council for matters related to pet management e.g. constantly barking or dogs not being contained (you can find local council details on pages 39-40 ).
Before you contact us to discuss a neighbourhood problem, we encourage you to follow these steps:
Talk with your neighbour first
Remain calm and clearly explain what the problem is, so they are aware. Ask for alternative options or solutions that both of you could agree to. Be reasonable and prepared to compromise to find a solution. Do not retaliate or engage
in illegal activity to try and solve the problem.
