Without due diligence, he began demolishing our brick supporting wall, the main load-bearing wall of our bedroom. At one stage he had constructed a hose from his roof diverted water into our studio, causing several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.

The lack of oversight and appropriate governance by government and local council created the environment for this tragedy to unfold, highlighting the need for greater accountability and legal protection for homeowners.
