About Our Law Firm

At Construction Lawyer Hobart, we specialise in providing expert legal services for the construction industry, particularly focusing on Security of Payment issues. Our deep understanding of Moonah, with its blend of residential, industrial, and commercial zones, allows us to tailor our services specifically for the local context.

Moonah, located just 5 km north of Hobart’s central business district, has a rich historical significance and cultural importance. It boasts a diverse economic profile and growing community needs, which we are well-equipped to address. The suburb’s lively food culture and thriving arts centre add to its unique charm, making it a dynamic area ripe for development and construction projects.

Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (TAS) ensures that contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors can claim progress payments for work performed and goods supplied. This act provides a reliable process for recovering payments in the event of delays or non-payments, essential for maintaining the cash flow in your business.

Given Moonah’s significant industrial zones and community infrastructure, understanding and utilising the Security of Payment Act is crucial for all construction-related entities in the area.
