When I was a council planner, I asked the developer to pay the full cost of a new fence if it was a biggish development (more than a dual occ). Normally you are liable for 50% of a STANDARD fence and they pay the portion above that in full.
I used to also ask the developer for a dilapidation report to be done at their expense. These were done by engineers.
Both those matters were dealt with by putting conditions on the development consent and were fully enforceable. Talk to your neighbour's Certifier about this as it sounds like this development was not required to go through Council.
Good luck with it.
