To remedy the situation you may apply to the High Court or District Court (depending on the value of the land encroached on) under the PROPERTY LAW ACT 1952. The Court has a discretionary power to make a variety of orders to deal with the situation.

You may apply for a court order regardless of whether it was you who constructed the encroaching building.
