In 1999 the NSW Government introduced security of payment legislation that established new rights for parties seeking payment for work they have done and the plant and materials they have supplied.

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 NSW represents an ongoing commitment by the NSW Government in maintaining the stability and efficiency of the construction industry.

The Act's hallmarks are quick adjudication of disputes over progress payments and provides for a fairer and quicker payment system for all parties in the industry.
