### sec.14B Multiple contracts at same site or adjacent sites
This section applies if—
the same parties enter into 2 or more separate contracts; and
the separate contracts are for carrying out project trust work at the same site or adjacent sites.
The separate contracts are taken to be a single contract (the larger contract ) for the purpose of applying this division.
The larger contract would be eligible for a project trust if the contract would be eligible for a project trust under section 14 .
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the exemptions under subdivision 3 apply only to the larger contract and not to the separate contracts.
If the separate contracts are for small scale residential construction work under section 15C , the exemption under section 15C does not apply to exclude the separate contracts from being taken to be a single contract under subsection (2) .
This section does not apply to separate contracts entered into as a result of separate tender processes.
