Neighbours waging noise wars is a common suburban story, but one complaint stopping children playing netball on their own driveway represents a new low, say their parents.

Jackie Maiolo was flabbergasted when the owner of her Carramar rental informed her that her two daughters were breaching the Strata Titles Act.

The girls, aged seven and 10, often played for an hour or two after school and on the weekends with a group of children who also lived in the estate, she told News Talk 6PR on Tuesday.

They were not allowed to play before 9am or after 6.30pm. They had no backyard and the nearest park was a good fifteen-minute walk, and had no suitable space for netball.
