In the same statement, the council announced additional security measures would be introduced to address the same complaints Ms Sealy had been making. 'Council has a duty of care to the community and to its employees, and if, over time, employees are receiving hundreds of complaints from the same person on the same issue, action can be taken to protect employee wellbeing.' Council has been responding to issues raised by the resident about Teak Lane for more than 15 years. 'This includes repeated reporting on the same issue. 'Council does not ban residents from visiting or contacting the organisation but, under extreme circumstances, can implement a communication plan to manage unreasonable complainant conduct,' the council wrote. In a statement released on April 26 titled 'managing unreasonable complainant conduct', the council defended the move to prevent future contact from Ms Sealy. The Redland City Council, who encourage residents to report vandalism, sent Ms Sealy received a letter telling her she was no longer welcome to comment on the state of the lane. Other footage shows motorbike riders dangerously using the lane as a shortcut, teenagers tearing out freshly planted young trees, and local louts who have become aware of her security camera regularly stopping to 'moon' it.Ī lock gate was previously introduced which prevented access to the lane from 10pm to 6am daily, but Ms Sealy says that it failed to stop people getting in. In the footage she's uploaded, hooded people are seen entering the laneway after-hours and aimlessly throwing what appear to be bottles over the fence.
'Mainly it was for us as a safety measure because we knew we needed some kind of surveillance and the police knew something needed to be done here as well.' 'We were just like a target here and we're right in the firing line. 'It's disgusting to be honest,' she told A Current Affair. Ms Sealy has been uploading footage to a Teak Lane community group since July, 2020. Her local council has banned Ms Sealy for sending too many complaints about the behaviour in the laneway
