Security Of Payments Act NSW Changes Commence 21 April 2014

The Security Of Payments Act NSW changes  are:

  • introduction of maximum payment terms for progress payments for all invoices served for building and construction work and or related goods or services under the Security Of Payments Act NSW
  • requirement that payment claims made under the Security Of Payments Act NSW by a head contractor include a supporting statement declaring that all subcontractors have been paid what is due and payable up to and including at the time of the claim
  • removal of the requirement that a payment claim must state that it is being made under the Security Of Payments Act NSW – all invoices will be deemed claims made under the Security Of Payments Act NSW.

What this means for Claimants:

  • Danger of serving invalid payment claims
  • Maximum time to wait for payment

What this means for Respondents

  • All invoices received need to be treated as payment claims made under the Act
  • Must pay all invoices on time
  • Serious penalties for falsifying subcontractor statement
