conditions of contract, published by NSW Government (Department of Customer Service), Edition 2. New South Wales.
GC21 is the general conditions TfNSW lets its construction contracts on, and the G-series specifications are called up under it. It is thorough in the way a government form is thorough, which is to say every step has a number.

What this page is, and is not.
It is the clause text this library holds for this document, with the window and the consequence. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the document you signed.
No library of law is complete, and Demiton never says this one is. An obligation the library does not hold, and you did not add, is not protected. You can add your own to any job.
