VIC CPD Event – Navigating the long-awaited amendments to Victorian Security of Payment Act: Insights from Industry Experts
25 June @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
$48.00 - $60.00
Victoria’s amended Security of Payment Act (SOP Act) overhauls industry risk allocation and dispute resolution by introducing sweeping reforms that significantly reshape the state’s construction industry.
For independent delay and quantum experts, the most significant change is the complete abolition removal of Victoria’s unique “excluded amounts” regime. With these restrictions removed, the approach to preparing, assessing, and disputing delay and quantum claims will fundamentally change, influencing how such claims are formulated, evaluated, and contested across the industry.
Join us for an upcoming session where we will examine the key legislative changes. The discussion will consider the implications of the amended SOP Act from the perspective of independent delay and quantum experts.
Please note: limited tickets available so register now to avoid disappointment!
Light refreshments will be available from 5.30pm before the start of the presentation at 6pm.
CPD: 1.5 points
