Minor Works MW21-LG (Local Government)
NSW Public Works has developed the Minor Works 21-Local Government (MW21-LG) Contract version that is a plain English, cooperative, and collaborative form of contract. It supports the NSW local government sector in delivering infrastructure for construction contracts generally valued up to $2 million, which are non-complex or repetitive in nature with relatively simple contractual arrangements.
This contract suite of documents incorporates the tendering considerations of clauses 176 to 178 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021.
Councils may also consider the use of the MW21-LG contract if using NSW government panels:
- General Construction Works valued up to $1 Million Scheme (SCM0256)
- General Construction Works Valued over $1 Million Scheme (SCM1461).
