Police have now charged the man at the centre of an eight hour siege at Laguna on Tuesday night.

The 46-year-old man is accused of firing several shots at police causing them to take cover in bushland until back-up arrived.

Police say the man and his partner originally went to the house on Tuesday night and threatened to shoot the caretaker, whom managed to flee and raise the alarm.

It's believed the house is at the centre of a property dispute.
