With the exception of one section, the Construction Contracts (Security of Payments) Act (“the Act”) and the Construction Contracts (Security of Payments) Regulations (“the Regulations”) came into force on 29 November 2010.

The legislation covers construction contracts entered into after 1 July 2005, whether or not in writing, for construction work performed on a site in the NT. It also covers contracts for the supply of materials and services associated with construction projects.

The legislation provides an adjudication scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of construction contracts, and also provides for minimum contract standards, by implying that certain conditions apply where the contract between the parties fails to cover the same issues in writing.

Resolution Institute (and previously the Institute of Arbitrators & Mediators Australia (IAMA) prior to its merger with LEADR to form Resolution Institute in 2015) has been a prescribed appointer under the Act since its inception in 2005 and Resolution Institute has many experienced registered adjudicators amongst its members.
