The guide describes when the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021 (the Act) may apply to your construction contract and what you need to know.
It also includes a decision tree to help you decide whether the Act applies or not.
You should also refer to other factsheets and educational videos available on the Building and Energy website for detailed information about the Act. This guide is complementary to those resources.
The Act generally applies to construction contracts entered into for construction work or related goods and services in Western Australia (WA) after 1 August 2022. Some exclusions apply (refer to the Building and Energy website for details).
