NSW splits levies by unit entitlement, Queensland by contribution schedule lot entitlement, and Victoria by lot liability. Insurance can be split differently in Queensland and Victoria. NSW needs a 10-year capital works fund plan and Queensland a sinking fund budget for at least 9 years ahead. Enter each owner's figure from the title documents; equal numbers give equal shares.

A simple capital works or sinking fund plan

List each shared item you will have to replace, today's cost and the years it has left. The yearly figure is the cost divided by the years, with no allowance for price rises or interest.

Columns: item, cost today (AUD), years left.

The plan needs A$4,542 a year. Your budget puts A$3,000 a year into the capital works or sinking fund.
