Issue resolved.

Rang the real estate.
They began with a blurb about my mother a few months ago mentioning that we cant afford it but maybe in 6-12 months time. So in their eyes in 6-12 we could perhaps make some payments.

I mentioned that we never agreed to it or its design/colour etc and she responded that they had contemplated taking it to court.

I threw in that S11 Cl 5(b) and the fact that notice to fence was delivered on the day, and she kindly relented that there wasn't an intention to take it to court in the end. Landlord is happy to foot the full cost just to keep his/her tenants conent as they have a kids.

Props to the landlord. I hope to be as accomodating in future if I ever have an IP. But it didn't need replacing, and when their tennant's kids play unsupervised on their driveway occasionally running onto the road (nearly reversed into one, heart-stopping-moment) it shouldn't be used as a reason.

Thanks all for your input, solved in less than a day .

Any chance we can investigate who ran into one of our cars last night?

It wouldn't hurt to get that in writing - just in case this crops up again in 6mths time asking for payment

I had to replace some very dilapidated fences when we knocked down our old weatherboard. Very happy to cover the cost fully as part of being neighbourly.

I had also demolished old garage that was 300mm off the fence line. So took the opportunity to reclaim!
