Frequently asked questions
Should I speak with a conveyancer before signing an off-the-plan contract?
Yes. A conveyancer can explain your rights, review key contractual terms and help you understand any risks associated with the purchase before you sign.
What happens if a developer makes significant changes to a project?
Under the proposed reforms, purchasers may be given the right to rescind a contract if material changes are made and would need to be notified within 14 days of those changes occurring.
Will the reforms apply to existing contracts?
The Government has proposed retrospective application to some existing off-the-plan contracts that remain active when the legislation commences. Whether this occurs will depend on the final legislation passed by Parliament.
Are the proposed sunset clause reforms law yet?
No. As of September 2026, the South Australian Government has announced it will consult on the proposed reforms. The legislation is not yet in force.
