Two neighbours in South Brisbane are at war over 34 centimetres of building foundation buried about three metres down in South Brisbane.

HS South Brisbane is seeking $524 000 in damages from United Voice, a union representing paramedics, childcare workers, and security guards, over the 34 centimetre of concrete that allegedly encroaches on neighbouring land by ‘intrusion upon the soil’. 

The presiding Supreme Court Judge has not yet decided whether to award compensation or the small section of land, which cannot be removed without risking the collapse of the building.
