Trespassing in NSW is a crime just like in any other Australian
state or country. A person commits trespassing if they enter an
owner's property without permission or a lawful excuse. In New
South Wales, this is a criminal offence and is considered a breach
of the legal and moral rights of an individual. Indeed, it's a
nuisance.
Here are some signs that trespassers may have been around your
property:
- Muddy footprints
- Broken bottles and trash along your property as if a group had
partied on your property
- Stolen property like lawn equipment, decorations, or
plants
- Unruly people who want to cause commotion on your property
All of these sound stressful and annoying, especially if you
take good care of your property. Thankfully, these trespassers
won't get away scot-free from the law. The state of New South
Wales has specific laws and regulations regarding trespassing,
along with penalties for trespassers. Let's look at them.
