What this document does

  • Explains what is happening, from your answers only, and how it affects you and your household.
  • Asks, politely and clearly, for what you would like to happen.
  • Assumes good faith: your neighbour may simply not know, and the letter says so kindly.
  • No threats: no council, police, lawyers or legal jargon. A friendly or a firm tone, your choice.
  • Can say you would be open to community mediation, named correctly for your state, if you want it to.
  • You read it first, then we email it for you or you download it and deliver it yourself.

What we'll ask you

Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.

  1. What is the letter about?
  2. What is your neighbour's name? Write it the way you would address them. If you don't know it, write 'The residents' and their street address.
  3. What is their address? It goes at the top of the letter. You can skip this.optional
  4. Tell me what is happening, with days, times or dates where you have them. Rough is fine.
  5. How is it affecting you or your household?optional
  6. What would you like to happen?
  7. Have you already spoken to them about it? If so, when, and what did they say?
  8. How should the letter sound?
  9. If you can not sort it out between you, should the letter say you would be open to community mediation?
  10. Your state or territory — so the letter is dated in your time zone.
  11. Your name and email — so the draft lands in your dashboard and inbox.
