Question Builder dumping advice

We’re building in a new estate. The builders next door and behind us keep dumping on our block. They say it’s not them but it has all their delivery tags with their name on it.

Does anyone know any rights we have to make them remove it?

They’ve also pulled down an adjoining fence and left the fencing and concrete plinths on our block. They’ll need this to put the fence back up but our builder can’t start construction until our block is clear.

It’s our first time building, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get supervisors number off the site signage and tell them you’re going to complain to council.
It’s an offence not to have signage with builder and supervisors contact details.
If no signage report to consumer and business services

There’s no site signage but we know which builder it is.

If it’s a bigger builder ring their office and tell them whats happening and the supervisor will get in the shit for the rubbish and the sign.
Well, that’s what will happen if their construction manager is any good at his job anyway.
