Laws You Didn't Know Existed!

πŸ›οΈ In Tasmania, it is a criminal offence to falsely claim to be an architect.

Section 19, Architects Act 1929 (TAS). Still in force. Right now.
Now, to be fair β€” this makes complete sense. Pretending to be a qualified architect and then designing structures people are going to live or work in is genuinely dangerous.

What we enjoy about this law is the specificity. Not a doctor. Not a lawyer. Not an engineer.

Tasmania looked at the professions and said: architects. That's the one we're putting in the criminal legislation. 🀷
We appreciate the commitment. πŸ—οΈ

Important update for SMSF trustees β€” new rules are now in effect.

From today, 10 August 2026, self-managed superannuation funds can no longer borrow to purchase residential property through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA).

This is one of the most significant changes to SMSF property investment in more than a decade. Here's what you need to know:

βœ… Existing residential LRBAs entered before today are grandfathered β€” you are not required to sell
βœ… SMSFs can still purchase residential property outright without borrowing
βœ… Borrowing for business real property remains available, subject to strict conditions
❌ New LRBAs to purchase residential property are no longer permitted

If you are an SMSF trustee weighing up a property decision, or want to understand how these changes affect your fund, our team is here to help.

Laws You Didn't Know Existed!

🎡 In Victoria, it is illegal to sing an obscene song or ballad in a public place.

Section 4, Summary Offences Act 1966 (VIC).
Maximum fine: $777.30.

This is the same section as the kite law. One section of Victorian legislation somehow covers both annoying kite flying AND public ballad content standards.

We have so many questions about the parliamentary debate that produced this combination.
What counts as obscene? The legislation does not elaborate. What counts as a ballad? Again, silent.

The $777.30 fine, however, is very specific. Victoria clearly thought hard about the ballad situation and landed on $777.30 as the appropriate societal response. 🎢

Bathurst's courthouse has been a landmark on Russell Street for nearly 150 years. πŸ›οΈ

Officially opened on 16 July 1880, the building was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and took around three years to construct. It's a fine example of Victorian-era public architecture β€” and it's been recognised on the NSW State Heritage Register since 1999.

History like this is all around us in Bathurst. We're proud to call this city home.

Thinking about selling your property? Here's what's actually happening on the legal side β€” from the moment you decide to sell, right through to funds in your account. 🏑

Most people focus on the agent and the price. But behind the scenes, your solicitor is preparing the contract, making sure you meet NSW disclosure requirements, managing enquiries from the buyer's solicitor, negotiating terms, and coordinating everything through to settlement.

Get it wrong at any of these 8 stages and it can cost you time, money, or the sale itself.

Kenny Spring Solicitors works alongside your agent to make the legal side of selling as smooth as possible β€” whether you're in Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, Oberon or anywhere across the Central West.

πŸ’¬ Ready to sell? Talk to us before you list.

New anti-money laundering rules are coming for law firms β€” here's what it means for you.

From 1 July 2026, changes to Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws mean we'll need to complete some additional identity checks before starting certain types of work β€” including property transactions and matters involving trusts or companies.

We know being asked for extra documentation can feel unexpected from your lawyer. These changes apply across the legal profession, and they're not a reflection of any concern about you personally β€” it's simply the new law.

Swipe through for a quick guide to what's changing, what we might ask for, and how we'll support you through it. ➑️

Laws You Didn't Know Existed.

In Victoria, flying a kite in a public place is illegal β€” if it annoys someone.

Maximum fine: $777.30.
Section 4, Summary Offences Act 1966 (VIC).

We want to be clear: the $777.30 is not a round number. Someone sat down, did the math, and landed on $777.30 as the appropriate price for airborne public nuisance.

We also want to be clear that "annoyance" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this law. One person's joyful Sunday afternoon is apparently another person's $777.30 grudge waiting to happen.
