Well this is not Tasmania BUT it does resonate with the kind of things going on in Launceston
A fierce battle over disused laneways in Melbourne's northern suburbs has led to accusations Darebin council is trying to sell off residents' backyards, pitting pensioners against cashed-up developers.
The policy affects 4000 homes backing onto 30 kilometres of disused laneways in 10 suburbs, including Preston, Reservoir, Coburg, Northcote, Fairfield and Thornbury, and involves council trying to sell parcels of laneway to adjoining properties.
Owners who have had sections of laneway fully enclosed in their property for decades have been shocked to receive council notices saying that part of what they believed to be their back garden must be split between neighbours, or sold off to the highest bidder.
