3AApplication of provisions to developers(1)

For the purposes of this Act, an individual, a partnership or a corporation on whose behalf residential building work is done in the circumstances set out in subsection (2) is a developer in relation to that residential building work.

(1A)

Residential building work done on land in the circumstances set out in subsection (2) is, for the purpose of determining who is a developer in relation to the work, deemed to have been done on behalf of the owner of the land (in addition to any person on whose behalf the work was actually done).

Note—

This makes the owner of the land a developer even if the work is actually done on behalf of another person (for example, on behalf of a party to a joint venture agreement with the owner for the development of the land). The other person on whose behalf the work is actually done is also a developer in relation to the work.

(2)

The circumstances are—

(a)
the residential building work is done in connection with an existing or proposed dwelling in a building or residential development where 4 or more of the existing or proposed dwellings are or will be owned by the individual, partnership or corporation, or
(b)
the residential building work is done in connection with an existing or proposed retirement village or accommodation specially designed for the disabled where all of the residential units are or will be owned by the individual, partnership or corporation.

(3)

A company that owns a building under a company title scheme is not a developer for the purposes of this Act.

s 3A: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [2]. Am 2011 No 52, Sch 1 [2] [3].

3BDate of completion of residential building work(1A)

This section does not apply to residential building work to which section 3C applies.

Note—

Section 3C provides for the date of completion of new buildings in strata schemes.

(1)

The completion of residential building work occurs on the date that the work is complete within the meaning of the contract under which the work was done.

(2)

If the contract does not provide for when work is complete (or there is no contract), the completion of residential building work occurs on practical completion of the work, which is when the work is completed except for any omissions or defects that do not prevent the work from being reasonably capable of being used for its intended purpose.

(3)

It is to be presumed (unless an earlier date for practical completion can be established) that practical completion of residential building work occurred on the earliest of whichever of the following dates can be established for the work—

(a)
the date on which the contractor handed over possession of the work to the owner,
(b)
the date on which the contractor last attended the site to carry out work (other than work to remedy any defect that does not affect practical completion),
(c)
the date of issue of an occupation certificate under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 that authorises commencement of the use or occupation of the work,
(d)
(in the case of owner-builder work) the date that is 18 months after the issue of the owner-builder permit for the work.

(4)

If residential building work comprises the construction of 2 or more buildings each of which is reasonably capable of being used and occupied separately, practical completion of the individual buildings can occur at different times (so that practical completion of any one building does not require practical completion of all the buildings).

(5)

This section applies for the purposes of determining when completion of residential building work occurs for the purposes of any provision of this Act, the regulations or a contract of insurance under Part 6.

s 3B: Ins 2011 No 52, Sch 1 [4]. Am 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [3] [4]; 2017 No 28, Sch 1 [1].

3CDate of completion of new buildings in strata schemes(1)

This section applies to residential building work comprising the construction of a new building in a strata scheme (within the meaning of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015) where the issue of an occupation certificate is required to authorise commencement of the use or occupation of the building.

Note—

Section 3B provides for the date of completion of other residential building work.

(2)

The completion of residential building work to which this section applies occurs on—

(a)
the date of issue of an occupation certificate that authorises the occupation and use of the whole of the building, unless paragraph (b) applies, or
(b)
the occurrence of some other event that is prescribed by the regulations as constituting completion of the work.

(3)

If a contract to do residential building work (the primary contract) comprises the construction of 2 or more separate buildings, the date of completion of that work is to be determined as if there were a separate contract for each separate building (with each contract on the same terms as the primary contract) so that the work for each building will have a separate completion date. For the purposes of this section, a building is separate if it is reasonably capable of being used and occupied separately from any other building.

Note—

Separate buildings can still have the same completion date if they are completed at the same time.

(4)

This section applies for the purpose of determining when completion of residential building work occurs for the purposes of any provision of this Act, the regulations or a contract of insurance under Part 6.

(5)

In this section—

building means any structure that, as a new building, requires the issue of an occupation certificate to authorise its use and occupation.

occupation certificate means an occupation certificate under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Note—

A swimming pool, tennis court or detached garage can be a building for the purposes of this section if an occupation certificate is required to authorise its use and occupation. If a structure in a strata scheme does not require an occupation certificate, section 3B will apply to it instead of section 3C.

s 3C: Ins 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [5]. Am 2015 No 50, Sch 4.12 [1]; 2017 No 28, Sch 1 [2].

3DApplication of provisions to specialist work

In its application to specialist work, this Act is not limited to specialist work that is residential building work and extends to specialist work that is not residential building work (for example, commercial and industrial specialist work).

7DInterests in land under contract(1)

A contract does not give the holder of a contractor licence or any other person a legal or equitable estate or interest in any land, and a provision in a contract or other agreement is void to the extent that it purports to create such an estate or interest.

(2)

Accordingly, the holder of a contractor licence or any other person may not lodge a caveat under the Real Property Act 1900 in respect of an estate or interest prohibited by subsection (1).

in the case of a person who has been given a copy of the signed contract—at any time before the expiration of 5 clear business days after the person is given a copy of the contract, or
(b)
in the case of a person who has not been given a copy of the signed contract within 5 days after the contract has been signed—at any time before the expiration of 5 clear business days after the person becomes aware that he or she is entitled to be given a copy of the signed contract.

(2)

The notice must state that the person rescinds the contract and must be given—

(a)
to the kit home supplier personally, or
(b)
by leaving it at the address shown in the contract as the address of the kit home supplier, or
(c)
by serving it on the kit home supplier in accordance with any notice or service provision in the contract.

(3)

If a notice is given in accordance with this section—

(a)
the contract is taken to be rescinded from the time it was signed, but subject to the rights and obligations conferred by this section, and
(b)
the kit home supplier may retain out of any money already paid to the kit home supplier under the contract the amount of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the kit home supplier incurred before the rescission, and
(c)
the kit home supplier must refund all other money paid to the kit home supplier under the contract by (or on behalf of) the party who has rescinded the contract at or since the time the contract was made, and
(d)
the party who rescinded the contract is not liable to the kit home supplier in any way for rescinding the contract.

(4)

The cooling-off period may be shortened or avoided by a provision in the contract, but the provision does not take effect unless and until the other party to the contract gives the kit home supplier (or the kit home supplier’s Australian legal practitioner) a certificate that complies with subsection (5).

(5)

A certificate complies with this subsection if it—

(a)
is in writing, and
(b)
is signed by an Australian legal practitioner, other than—
- (i)
  an Australian legal practitioner acting for the kit home supplier, or
- (ii)
  any other Australian legal practitioner employed in the legal practice of an Australian legal practitioner acting for the kit home supplier, or
- (iii)
  any other Australian legal practitioner who is a member or employee of a firm in which an Australian legal practitioner acting for the kit home supplier is a member or employee, and
(c)
indicates the purpose for which the certificate is given, and
(d)
contains a statement to the effect that the Australian legal practitioner explained to the other party to the contract the effect of the contract, the nature of the certificate and the effect of giving the certificate to the kit home supplier.

(6)

A contract can be rescinded under this section even if work has been done under the contract at the time of rescission.

(7)

If a contract is rescinded under this section, the kit home supplier is entitled to a reasonable price for the work carried out under the contract to the date the contract is rescinded.

(8)

This section does not apply to a contract of a class specified in the regulations.

s 16DBA: Ins 2001 No 51, Sch 2 [10]. Am 2006 No 120, Sch 3.11 [1]–[3]; 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [14]–[18].

16DBBPerson may rescind kit home contract if cooling-off warning not given(1)

This section applies to a contract for the supply of a kit home to which section 16DBA applies.

(2)

If a contract does not contain a statement relating to the cooling-off period and a person’s rights under section 16DBA (as required by section 16D(2)(f)), a person (other than the kit home supplier) may, by notice in writing, rescind the contract within 7 days of becoming aware that the contract should have contained such a notice.

(3)

The notice must state that the person rescinds the contract and must be given—

(a)
to the kit home supplier personally, or
(b)
by leaving it at the address shown in the contract as the address of the kit home supplier, or
(c)
by serving it on the kit home supplier in accordance with any notice or service provision in the contract.

(4)

The notice must be given in the form approved by the Secretary, if any.

(5)

If a notice is given in accordance with this section the contract is taken to be rescinded from the time it was signed, but subject to the rights and obligations conferred by this section.

(6)

A contract can be rescinded under this section even if work has been done under the contract at the time of rescission.

(7)

If a contract is rescinded under this section, the kit home supplier is entitled to a reasonable price for anything done under the contract to the date the contract is rescinded.

(8)

However, a kit home supplier may not recover under subsection (7) more than the kit home supplier would have been entitled to recover under the contract.

s 16DBB: Ins 2001 No 51, Sch 2 [10]. Am 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [15] [19] [20]; 2018 No 65, Sch 8.4[1].

16DCArbitration clause prohibited

A provision in a contract or other agreement that requires a dispute under the contract to be referred to arbitration is void.

s 16DC: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [5].

16DDInterests in land under contract(1)

A contract does not give the kit home supplier or any other person a legal or equitable estate or interest in any land, and a provision in a contract or other agreement is void to the extent that it purports to create such an estate or interest.

(2)

Accordingly, the kit home supplier or any other person may not lodge a caveat under the Real Property Act 1900 in respect of an estate or interest prohibited by subsection (1).

(3)

However, subsection (1) does not apply to a provision in a contract that creates a charge over land if—

(a)
the land the subject of the charge is land on which the kit home is, or is to be, erected, and
(b)
the charge is in favour of the kit home supplier who is a party to the contract, and
(c)
the charge is created to secure the payment to the kit home supplier by another party to the contract of money due under the contract, but only if a court or tribunal has made an order or judgment that such payment be made, and
(d)
in the case of a charge over land under the Real Property Act 1900—the party to the contract against whom the judgment or order is made is the registered proprietor of the land.

s 16DD: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [5]. Subst 1998 No 56, Sch 1 [2]. Am 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [13] [21].

16DETerms of contracts(1)

A contract must include (and is taken to include) each of the terms set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2. A contract that contains a term that is inconsistent with a term set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2 is unenforceable to the extent of the inconsistency.

(2)

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to—

(a)
terms or other matter that must be included in a contract or a class of contracts, or
(b)
terms or other matter that must not be included in a contract or a class of contracts.

(3)

(4)

(5)

Any regulation made under this section does not apply to a contract in force at the time that the regulation commences.

(6)

A requirement imposed by or under this section that a contract must include a particular term is a requirement that the contract expressly include the term and is not complied with merely because this section provides that the contract is taken to include the term.

(7)

This section does not limit section 16D(3).

s 16DE: Ins 2001 No 51, Sch 2 [11]. Subst 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [23].

16EMaximum deposit for kit home supply(1)

The maximum amount of a deposit for the supply of a kit home is 10% of the contract price. A deposit for the supply of a kit home is a payment on account before delivery of part of the kit home is made under a contract to supply a kit home.

(2)

A person must not—

(a)
demand or receive payment of a deposit for the supply of a kit home if the amount of the deposit exceeds the maximum imposed by this section, or
(b)
enter into a contract under which the person is entitled to demand or receive payment of a deposit for the supply of a kit home if the amount of the deposit exceeds the maximum imposed by this section.

Maximum penalty—1,000 penalty units in the case of a corporation and 200 penalty units in any other case.

(3)

The regulations may make provision concerning how a contract price is to be determined for the purposes of this section.

s 16E: Ins 1990 No 33, Sch 1 (3). Am 2001 No 51, Sch 8 [16]; 2004 No 101, Sch 4 [1]. Subst 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [24].

16FExhibition homes(1)

In this section, exhibition home means a dwelling made available for inspection to persons who are invited, expressly or impliedly, to enter into a contract for the supply of a kit home designed to enable the construction of a similar dwelling.

(2)

(a)
a copy of the plans and specifications relating to its construction, and
(b)
if the person is aware that persons are to be invited to enter into contracts of the kind referred to in subsection (1) by use of a standard form of contract, a copy of that form of contract.

Maximum penalty—80 penalty units in the case of a corporation and 40 penalty units in any other case.

(3)

If—

(a)
a contract is entered into with a kit home supplier for the supply of a kit home designed to enable the construction of a dwelling that is similar to an exhibition home, and
(b)
the kit home supplier knows that it was entered into after the other party to the contract had inspected the home, and
(c)
the contract in any way identifies the kit home to be supplied under the contract by reference to the home,

the contract is to be taken to contain a provision that the kit home so supplied will conform to the same plans and quality of materials as the exhibition home, except to the extent (if any) that the contract and its accompanying plans provide for any departure from them.

s 16F: Ins 1990 No 33, Sch 1 (3). Am 2001 No 51, Sch 8 [17]; 2004 No 101, Sch 4 [4]; 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [20] [22].

16GEnforceability of contracts(1)

A person who contracts to supply a kit home—

(a)
under a contract to which the requirements of section 16D apply that is not in writing or that does not have sufficient description of the kit home to which it relates, or
(b)
in contravention of any other provision of this Act or the regulations that is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph,

is not entitled to damages or to enforce any other remedy in respect of a breach of the contract committed by any other party to the contract, and the contract is unenforceable by the person who contracted to supply the kit home. However, the person is liable for damages and subject to any other remedy in respect of a breach of the contract committed by the person.

(2)

This section does not affect the liability of the person for an offence against a provision of or made under this or any other Act.

s 16G: Ins 1990 No 33, Sch 1 (3). Subst 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [6]. Am 2001 No 112, Sch 1.15 [3]. Subst 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [23].

16HApplication of this Part(1)

This Part does not affect any right or remedy that a person (other than the person who contracts to supply the kit home) may have apart from this Act.

(2)

This Part does not apply to—

(a)
a contract entered into, before the commencement of this Part, for the supply of a kit home, or
(b)
the supply of a kit home pursuant to such a contract.

Part 2BRepresentations concerning contractor licences or certificates

pt 2B, hdg: Ins 1990 No 33, Sch 1 (4).

17Misrepresentations about contractor licences or certificates(1)

A person must not represent that an individual, a partnership or a corporation—

(a)
is the holder of a contractor licence, knowing that the individual, partnership or corporation is not the holder of a contractor licence, or
(b)
is the holder of a contractor licence authorising its holder to contract to do residential building work, or specialist work, knowing that the individual, partnership or corporation is not the holder of an appropriate contractor licence.
(c)
(Repealed)

Maximum penalty—1,000 penalty units in the case of a corporation and 200 penalty units in any other case.

(2)

A person must not represent that the person or any other person—

(b)
is the holder of a supervisor or tradesperson certificate authorising its holder to do residential building work, or specialist work, knowing that the person or other person is not the holder of an appropriate certificate.

Maximum penalty—1,000 penalty units in the case of a corporation and 200 penalty units in any other case.

(3)

For the purposes of this section, a contractor licence or certificate is appropriate only if it authorises its holder to contract to do, or authorises its holder to do, the work that is the subject of the representation.

s 17: Am 1990 No 33, Sch 1 (5); 2001 No 51, Sch 8 [18]; 2004 No 101, Sch 4 [1]; 2009 No 61, Sch 2 [24].

18Representations, generally(1)

It makes no difference whether a representation referred to in this Part—

(a)
is express or implied, or
(b)
relates to a non-existent individual, partnership or corporation, or
(c)
is made by the individual, a member or employee of the partnership or an officer or employee of the corporation concerned.

(2)

For the purposes of this Part, a representation concerning a business name used by, or registered under the Business Names Registration Act 2011 of the Commonwealth to, an individual, a partnership or a corporation is to be taken to be a representation concerning the individual, partnership or corporation.

(3)

This Part applies not only to representations made to identifiable persons but also to those made by way of advertisement where the persons to whom the representations are made may or may not be identifiable.

Part 2CStatutory warranties

pt 2C: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [7].

18ATime from when Part applies

This Part applies to residential building work only to the extent that it is done or to be done under a contract made on or after the commencement of this section.

s 18A: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [7].

18BWarranties as to residential building work(1)

The following warranties by the holder of a contractor licence, or a person required to hold a contractor licence before entering into a contract, are implied in every contract to do residential building work—

(a)
a warranty that the work will be done with due care and skill and in accordance with the plans and specifications set out in the contract,
(b)
a warranty that all materials supplied by the holder or person will be good and suitable for the purpose for which they are used and that, unless otherwise stated in the contract, those materials will be new,
(c)
a warranty that the work will be done in accordance with, and will comply with, this or any other law,
(d)
a warranty that the work will be done with due diligence and within the time stipulated in the contract, or if no time is stipulated, within a reasonable time,
(e)
a warranty that, if the work consists of the construction of a dwelling, the making of alterations or additions to a dwelling or the repairing, renovation, decoration or protective treatment of a dwelling, the work will result, to the extent of the work conducted, in a dwelling that is reasonably fit for occupation as a dwelling,
(f)
a warranty that the work and any materials used in doing the work will be reasonably fit for the specified purpose or result, if the person for whom the work is done expressly makes known to the holder of the contractor licence or person required to hold a contractor licence, or another person with express or apparent authority to enter into or vary contractual arrangements on behalf of the holder or person, the particular purpose for which the work is required or the result that the owner desires the work to achieve, so as to show that the owner relies on the holder’s or person’s skill and judgment.

(2)

The statutory warranties implied by this section are not limited to a contract to do residential building work for an owner of land and are also implied in a contract under which a person (the principal contractor) who has contracted to do residential building work contracts with another person (a subcontractor to the principal contractor) for the subcontractor to do the work (or any part of the work) for the principal contractor.

s 18B: Ins 1996 No 122, Sch 1 [7]. Am 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [25] [26].

18BADuties of person having benefit of statutory warranty(1)

Breach of a statutory warranty implied in a contract constitutes a breach of the contract and accordingly—

(a)
a party to the contract who suffers loss arising from the breach has a duty to mitigate their loss, and
(b)
the onus of establishing a failure to mitigate loss is on the party alleging the failure.

(2)

The duty of a party to a contract to mitigate loss in respect of a breach of a statutory warranty extends to a person who has the benefit of the statutory warranty or who is entitled to the same rights as those that a party to the contract has in respect of the statutory warranty.

(3)

The following duties apply to a person who has the benefit of a statutory warranty but do not limit any duty the person has to mitigate loss arising from breach of a statutory warranty—

(a)
when a breach of the statutory warranty becomes apparent, the person must make reasonable efforts to ensure that a person against whom the warranty can be enforced is given notice in writing of the breach within 6 months after the breach becomes apparent,
(b)
the person must not unreasonably refuse a person who is in breach of the statutory warranty such access to the residential building work concerned as that person may reasonably require for the purpose of or in connection with rectifying the breach (the duty to allow reasonable access).

(4)

A breach of warranty becomes apparent for the purposes of this section when any person entitled to the benefit of the warranty first becomes aware (or ought reasonably to have become aware) of the breach.

(5)

If a failure to comply with a duty under this section is established in proceedings before a court or tribunal concerning a breach of a statutory warranty, the failure is a matter that the court or tribunal may take into account. If the failure is a failure to comply with the duty to allow reasonable access, the court or tribunal must take the failure into account.

s 18BA: Ins 2014 No 24, Sch 1 [27].

18CWarranties as to work by others(1)

A person who is the immediate successor in title to an owner-builder, a holder of a contractor licence, a former holder or a developer who has done residential building work on land is entitled to the benefit of the statutory warranties as if the owner-builder, holder, former holder or developer were required to hold a contractor licence and had done the work under a contract with that successor in title to do the work.

(2)

For the purposes of this section, residential building work done on behalf of a developer is taken to have been done by the developer.
