Hello Liz, you're lucky that in NSW there is an excellent bit of legislation that is helping to manage the inevitable problems that our small yards throw up when people want (understandably) to grow large trees.

I would approach your neighbour and talk through with them your concerns letting them know why you are concerned and see if they are prepared to move the tree, as has been pointed out such a small sapling can be safely effectively moved with very little negative impact on the tree (if done properly). Hopefully your neighbour is a pleasant reasonable person, and will repsond to your request...you're not asking them to remove the tree just move it further from the fence based on its known genetic potential.
