Hi, referring to the pictures, there is a sinkhole behind my house.
Need advice if there is any expert here, what caused the sinkhole?
What should I do?
Who can I engage to repair the sinkhole urgently?

It either the developer poorly constructed the area / not properly compacted the soil or there is a soil movement underground water causes the cavity.

Your house new or old ? Still can ask the developer to rectify if within can’t remember think within 6 years or so … falls under latent defect …structure defect you can’t see after DLP period ended…

If not can try ask your majlis /council and make a report if you think that area is within the council jurisdiction.

Hope this help
Cheers mate

Ok sure
Try call this and you may need to call several times 😊 to get them to pick up your calls it’s like you entering a radio station call in contest …never want to pick up one ….
