Community Disputes Resolution Tribunals

The CDRT hears certain neighbour disputes after mediation requirements are met. We help you confirm eligibility, complete filings, and present your case at hearing.

CDRT application papers and supporting affidavits organised for filing
Applications require completed forms, affidavits, and indexed exhibits.

CDRT pathway

Claims must fall within statutory categories — such as unreasonable interference with enjoyment of residential property. Mediation at the Community Mediation Centre is usually required first. We verify both before you pay filing fees.

We assist with application forms, supporting affidavits, exhibit lists, and oral presentation at hearing. We explain tribunal procedure in plain language so you know what to expect on the day.

Important note

Neighbor Law Pro is not the CDRT or the State Courts. Official filing is through government channels; we help you complete submissions accurately.

Orders and compliance

CDRT orders may require a neighbour to stop specific conduct, carry out works, or pay compensation. If the order is ignored, we advise on enforcement steps available under the tribunal framework.
