Changes to Security of Payments Legislation in Western Australia
The Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Bill 2020 (WA) (Bill) was recently introduced to Parliament. The Bill, if adopted, will provide a new Act for securing payments under construction contracts, replacing the Construction Contracts Act 2004 (WA) (CCA). The Bill will bring the Western Australian security for payment regime into line with the regimes in place on the East Coast of Australia.
