Someone has started to use my business name in a different state!

[Chippy rain]

Hi everyone,
hoping you can help. Im in the construction industry and just recently noticed a business in a different state has started to use my exact business name. Was completly shocked at the audacity and disappointing to see but here we are.
I havent contacted them yet as i want to weigh up my options and put myself in a strong position.
Some facts:
My name is registered with asic, theirs is not.
My abn shows my business name trading since 2014, they are not registered.

Can i resolve this situation based purelp on this or do I have to take more actions to protect myself, i.e. register my name as a trademark?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is the other business also in the same field or industry?
