Securing prompt and fair payment for building work

Reforming building laws in NSW

The NSW Government is working to increase confidence in our building and construction industry.

We are looking at how we can better protect consumers and support workers through our Reforming building laws in NSW consultation.

Have your say on securing prompt and fair payment for building work

As part of this overall consultation, we are looking at securing prompt and fair payment for building work by proposing changes to the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 and the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Regulation 2020.

The proposed changes will help builders and tradespeople get paid more quickly and fairly for their work and reduce the time and cost of having payment disputes reviewed.

This topic is most relevant to owner-builders, builders, specialist tradespeople, engineers, designers, architects, developers, fire safety practitioners and adjudicators.

Whether you work in building and construction or are a member of the public, if you have an opinion on the building industry in NSW, we want to hear from you.

Tell us what you think

To have your say on securing prompt and fair fair payment for building work, complete the survey below.

Alternatively, to have your say on more than one topic area, we recommend completing the all-in-one survey.

The all-in-one survey allows you to easily skip through all topics to the ones that interest you.

Written submissions

You can also make a submission. This option allows you to give detailed feedback or respond directly to the questions in the regulatory impact statements.

For more information, please refer to the Related documents.

The consultation is open until Friday 25 November 2022.

Thank you for your feedback
