Seems in NSW , you can stop noise pollution, you can stop people burning off (generating smoke) , you can stop people from pollution the water , but we have no rights to stop intrusive light pollution and light trespass caused by neigbours who refuse to behave reasonably.

It is simply not good enough that if you have a neighbour who is by his external house lighting causing intrusive light pollution and excessive light trespass onto you property , that you can do nothing (legal) about it if the neighbour is uncooperative.
I've asked my local council for help , they said they have no authority to stop this and so can't help me.
Does anyone know of any NSW state government regulations or laws that can be applied to stop my nutty neighbour from leaving his very bright external houselights (which are unidirectional - just high wattage high intensity compact fluorescent globe) ? on all night every single night and who in the NSW government I should contact about this to make a formal complaignt ?
