Fence issues top Vic Dispute Centre calls

Everybody needs good neighbours - especially the 7000 Victorians who called the Dispute Settlement Centre about fencing arguments.

Fencing problems prompted the most calls to the centre in 2014/15, with 456 referred on for further mediation.

The DSCV got almost 20,000 calls from people seeking to resolve disputes, an increase of more than 100 calls from the previous year.
