I have a problem with my neighbour's tree - what can I do?
We get lots of calls from people who have a problem with a neighbour's tree. The best thing you can do is talk to each other and try and agree a way forward.
If that doesn't work, read the information on our website (see link under 'Read More') about what to do if:
- your neighbour’s tree is blocking your sun or damaging your property;
- branches of your neighbour’s tree are overhanging onto your property but not causing damage to your property;
- a neighbour’s tree is hanging over the shared driveway;
- fruit from your neighbour's tree is overhanging onto your property.

Do you have a quick question for a lawyer?
On Thursday each week we hold free lawyer clinics.
These clinics allow you to see a lawyer at no cost for 10 mins. So, if you need help understanding a legal document or deciding whether to pursue a legal case, then this is a great starting point.
- 1pm - 133 Brighton Mall (entrance on Union Street, SBA office) – 03 366 6490
- 6.15pm - 8 Goulding Ave (Hornby community centre) – 03 349 5236
You will be given a number when you arrive, so everyone is seen in order and usually the lawyer can see 5-7 clients.
If you need a specialist lawyer or advisor for immigration, employment or ACC then email christchurchclinics@outlook.com to make an appointment with the separate clinics.
