A costly fence built after a dog dispute has ignited tensions between two Brisbane neighbours
Brisbane: So, there’s this wild story about two neighbours who are at each other’s throats over a massive fence. One of them decided to put up an eight-foot tall fence after some drama involving dogs. Sounds intense, right?
It all kicked off when one neighbour, who goes by @MrsH_192 on Reddit, complained that the new fence was blocking light from her home. She even called it a “barricade” and said it wasn’t finished properly. Apparently, the old fence was taken down, but the new one doesn’t cover the whole area.
After the post went viral, the other neighbour explained her side. She said the old fence was falling apart, and after trying to talk it out for ages, she just went ahead and built the new one. She mentioned that the council gave her the green light to do it.
Things got heated because there were ongoing issues with dogs escaping and causing trouble. The fence builder said she just wanted to keep her dogs safe. But the other neighbour felt left out of the decision-making process.
Now, the neighbour who built the fence spent about 4,000 AUD on it and didn’t ask for any help. The other side even suggested pausing the build until they could agree on something, but the council said the fence is within the rules, so there’s not much they can do.
Some Reddit users chimed in, saying the new fence actually looks better and offers more privacy. They couldn’t understand why the complaining neighbour was so upset, especially since she didn’t have to pay for it. It’s a classic case of neighbourly drama, and it seems like there’s more to the story than just a fence.
