Updated: Corrections: 1) Manufactured topsoil must be used as a soil substitute for landscaping purposes. 2) Manufactured topsoil must not be used at depths greater than 300mm.
If you comply with the conditions of this regulatory position statement (RPS) you can use up to 1,000 tonnes of manufactured topsoil without an environmental permit.
This RPS will be reviewed by April 2018. You’ll need to check back then to see if it still applies.
