Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaThe Construction Contracts Act, which governs the way security for payment disputes have been conducted in WA, has been in effect since 2004. The new Security for Payments Act will shortly come into effect and change the way security for payment claims are made in contracts entered into after 1 August 2022. Among other things, this new legislation will bring WA more into line with the approach taken to these claims on the East Coast and, significantly for the WA mining industry, refine the “mining exclusion” which has limited the applicability of the Construction Contract Act to many projects in WA.
The session will provide:
- an overview of the new WA security for payment legislation;
- an outline of the key changes from the Construction Contracts Act; and
- some insights from similar legislation across the country.
Networking lunch: 12.30pm - 1pm AWST
Presentation: 1pm - 2pm AWST
