CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ACT 2004 — REVIEW
1019. Hon KATE DOUST to the
Minister for Commerce:
I refer to the
review into the Construction Contracts Act 2004 being conducted by Professor
Phil Evans, which commenced in October last year.
(1) When will the
review process be finished?
(2) When will the
minister introduce legislation to bring about reforms for this legislation?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(2)
I have received a report from Professor Evans. Currently, it has implications
for other portfolios and input from the Minister for Small Business, amongst
others, is being sought in respect of that. I propose to table the report and
then develop any legislation that may be necessary as a consequence of that
very shortly.
