First a picture, as they make everything easier.

The shared driveway I live on is split amongst 4 titles, even though it serves 21 lots. All 4 of us who have own a portion of the driveways title have provided consent for UFB rollout, additionally only 2 houses who have no ownership of the title haven't provided consent.

 

Chorus don't care that one of these 2 lots is an empty section (with an owner I've got no idea how to get ahold of) and that other owner is an oversees investor (tenants can't provide consent, we tried.) As far as they're concerned all 21 lots must provide consent.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to move forwards?

Even though ownership of the driveway is shared between only 4 land parcels, presumably there are easements in place which allow the remaining 17 land parcels to have access via that driveway. Because of that, they are affected parties in the eyes of the law, and therefore consent from them all is required. Until there is a law change there is not much you or the LFC can do to get around it.

 

If you go into your local council office, they will give you the name and address of all owners. Property ownership is a matter of public record so it's not hard to find out. You may have to supply a reason why you are requesting the information, but in your case, you have a legitimate reason so I don't see it as a problem.

 

[EDIT] The tenants of the overseas landlord cannot give consent, but their property manager can as they are an authorised representative of the owner. Have you asked those tenants for their property manager's details?
