I sent the Fencing Notice to my neighbour via registered post. Looking at the Australia Post tracking, I can see that delivery was unsuccessful and the letter was sent back to the local post office awaiting collection from the neighbour. It's been almost 2 weeks now and neighbour still hasn't collected the letter. I had previously communicated with my neighbour about getting fence quotes as half the fence had fallen over from strong winds and even then she was quite evasive.
What can I now do? I was willing to wait 30 days before taking it further at the Magistrates Court, but if she refuses receipt of the letter with the Fencing Notice, I can't proceed to file Form 5A? I read on the court's website that I could do an affidavit that I "served" the form 5A but if she's so evasive already, how can it be served to her?
