A Melbourne landscaper says he is being treated like a “murderer or a drug dealer” by his local council after he was slapped with an $11,500 [$7,781 USD] fine for filling in a dangerous hole.
The fine was followed by a demand to inspect his property for “unsafe” building work after he took his story to the media.
Adam Marsal, 40, says he was only trying to do the right thing when he filled in a large hole that had been left by a fallen tree in the nature strip near his Cranbourne Road home in Frankston late last year.
