And then you need a certificate stamped as the truck leaves your property and you need it certified that it has reached the nominated destination to stop illegal dumping.
Hi Dharma,
I was referring to SajeaD's info posted as above. I thought that it was very good advice and worthwhile following up. Just surprised that you didn't respond to him.

maybe I wasn't clear enough in my description of what happened to me and how my lesson can help in this case.
RMS were widening Schofields road and installing a new sewer near our property. As a result there was a lot of excess fill that needed relocating.
Our neighbour convinced the contractor to dump maybe ( at a guess) 20-30 loads of soil onto my site and even gave them a motorcross track design so they sculpted it for free. Guess they were happy not to pay for the correct dumping.
As soon as we found out we went through the channels noted above and without getting a lawyer involved our site was cleaned up incredibly fast. We even got an apology.
Point is, as Marcs was saying you cant dispose of soil on someone else's property without it being trespass or being fined by the EPA.
If it was my site I would be phoning the EPA, then writing to the builder telling them what you have done and giving them 3 days to have it removed, but you also need to demand a site validation certificate. You dont know if they have contaminated your land or not so they should pay for testing confirming that it is still suitable for use as a residential site with "Accessible soils". In laymans terms that means your kids can eat the dirt and not get sick
all the best
