EVENT DETAILS
Managing complaints, neighbour disputes, breaches and challenging resident behaviour can be among the most difficult aspects of community and holiday park management.
This practical webinar will explore how early intervention, clear communication and effective dispute resolution techniques can prevent issues from escalating. It will also examine when informal approaches are no longer appropriate and formal enforcement action may be required.
The session will cover breach and termination notices, Tribunal expectations, alternative and legislative pathways and the importance of fair, consistent and well-documented decision-making. Participants will leave with practical strategies for managing everything from minor complaints and ongoing neighbour disputes to serious compliance matters.
Session aims
- Understand how early intervention can prevent issues from escalating.
- Apply practical approaches to complaints, disputes and challenging behaviour.
- Identify when formal enforcement action may be appropriate.
- Better understand the processes and documentation involved.
Suitable for: Community Managers, Park Managers, Regional Managers and operational teams responsible for resident and guest management.
