From 15 October 2026, the Settlement Adjustment Sheet (SAS) app has been updated. The app now stays in step with the reconciliation tables in your matter, and there are new features for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA and ACT.

Reconciliation table write back

Direction items now flow both ways between the SAS app and the Purchase and Sale Reconciliation tables in your matter.

• Direction items added, updated or deleted in the SAS app are reflected in the Reconciliation table.
• Direction items created, changed or deleted in the Reconciliation table appear in the SAS app.
• Items marked Include in SAS in the Reconciliation table are added to the SAS app.
• A new button in the SAS app writes the final amount due on settlement to the Purchase Reconciliation table. After the first click it changes to Update amount due on settlement.

NSW

• The Calculate on balance field in the Default Interest child page now fills in automatically with the balance from the Conveyancing Details table. You can still overwrite or delete it.

VIC

• New adjustment titles in the Apportionable Items button: Water service charge and Total service charge.

QLD

• The land tax page has been reworked, with a new Land Tax Type dropdown. Choose Use retention amount to enter an amount that shows in the Payable by Seller column. Choose Calculation, then Individual or Company, Trustee, Absentee, to calculate the adjustment from the unimproved value in the Conveyancing Details table.
• A new Queensland Law Society Default Rate tick box in the Penalty Interest child page applies the QLS default rate
• A single Calculations heading now sits above the water usage and land tax calculations.

SA

• The water usage child page has a new Search Reading tab and a Manual tab. Tier 1 and Tier 2 kL counts default to 120 kL and 400 kL and can be edited if SA Water changes the tiers.
• Time related adjustments now calculate to the day after the Adjustment Date, in line with the alternative Settlement Statement.

WA

• New Payable by buttons in the Default Interest child page let you choose who pays the penalty interest. Payable by buyer goes in the debit column and payable by seller goes in the credit column.
• Water usage has a new Manual option. Water measurement type is now a dropdown.

ACT

• New adjustment titles in the Time Related button: Livestock Health and Pest Authority, Water Availability, Administration Fund and Sinking Fund.
• Council Rates is now called General Rates, and Strata is now called Unit.

From Monday, 12 October 2026, the following contracts will be removed from LEAP:

• Contract for Sale and Purchase of Residential Real Estate (1st edition)
• Contract for Sale and Purchase of Commercial Real Estate (1st edition)

This change is due to access limitations set by the Queensland Law Society (QLS) and the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), which means we are no longer able to make these contracts available within LEAP.

What you need to do

Firms will need to access these contracts directly through the QLS or REIQ:

• Contract for Sale and Purchase of Residential Real Estate (1st edition)
• Contract for Sale and Purchase of Commercial Real Estate (1st edition)



Please note: Documents already saved to existing matters will remain unchanged.

In our ongoing commitment to providing you with the most relevant and up-todate legal information, we have updated the VIC criminal, intervention order and traffic matter types in LEAP, which will be available from Wednesday, 23 September 2026.

This improved experience brings immediate benefits, including:

Clearer classification: You will find a more precise categorisation and a greater number of matter types available.

More relevant data fields: We have introduced more appropriate table types and matter details specific to criminal, Intervention Order and traffic matters to enhance your workflow.
