WA Security of Payment Act Handbook:
Payment disputes under the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021 (WA)
This handbook has been prepared to help construction industry participants navigate the provisions of the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021 (WA), which establishes a regime for making payment claims, rapid adjudication and other rights that can be utilised by claimants.
The legislation can have a significant impact in the event of a dispute and creates risks for those on the receiving end of claims. For this reason, anyone involved in the claims process will be well served by a working knowledge of the Act.
This handbook explains relevant principles and provides practical guidance for those that may need to prepare or respond to payment claims or manage or plan for a dispute.
