How the Personal properties Securities Act will affect the construction industry
If you administering a contract:

Then, the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA), that came into effect on 30 January, 2012, could affect your business. The PPSA will supersede approximately 70 Acts and 46 registers that currently deal with personal property, and, with less than five months until it is introduced, little time is left to prepare for the fundamental changes it makes to the laws governing personal property in Australia.
