What is Security of Payment?
The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) establishes a pivotal legal framework that empowers claimants to assert their right to demand, receive, and recover owed funds from those responsible for payment.
This legislation proves invaluable for contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors operating in Northern Beaches and its encompassing suburbs like Dee Why, Avalon Beach – Clareville, Forestville, and others. It facilitates the assertion of progress payment claims for work completed, services rendered, or goods supplied. Moreover, the Act sets forth a structured process to address delayed or missing payments.
Noteworthy is the Act’s imposition of stringent and concise timeframes that all involved parties must strictly adhere to.
