About the Podcast

Residential construction often involves subdivision and redevelopment of existing lots, including the building retaining walls between properties. If a wall encroaches on neighbouring land sometimes acrimonious and disastrous disputes between developers and existing landowners can result. In this program, Simon LaBlack, from LaBlack Lawyers in Brisbane, provides a guide to: the provisions of the Property Law Act 1974 (Qld), dealing with such encroachments; the powers of the Court to grant relief to affected landowners; who is responsible for maintaining retaining walls, and where they should (or should not) be located; and the lessons from the case law on the Court’s approach to exercising its powers.
