Hi Matt,

When your building was originally registered, it was subdivided into two strata schemes (residential/commercial) via what is called a Stratum Subdivision.

When this occurs, it creates two strata schemes that run independently, but also another tier of management that addresses the shared property between the two schemes.

This shared property is governed by a “strata management statement”, which is a document outlining the breakups of costs for shared items.

The main reason a considerable amount is sent from each independent scheme to the BMC, is that large items such as the building insurance, fire maintenance and certification, and some utilities costs are all attributed and paid for via this medium as they are deemed “shared” facilities.

When we commenced management of your residential strata scheme, we also took over as managers of the BMCV, so we keep and eye on both and ensure things are costed correctly.

I hope that helps to explain.


Kind regards,

RYAN WALMSLEY | MANAGING DIRECTOR

One more question Ryan,

What is the BMC contribution? Who gets this money and what is it for?

Regards,

Matt G

Technically the Act says it’s required to be recouped in current year, because if the Admin fund has been run into deficit essentially that means Cap Works funds have been used for Admin purposes. However, if the committee would like to get creative and potentially stretch it, I’m willing to entertain it. This is mainly due to the time elapsed in the current fin yr. We can run the next AGM as quickly as possible in the new fin yr and budget accordingly then also.

My main concern is always addressing the standard Admin Fund intake to ensure that no further deficits are created. We need to arrest that without doubt in this budget.

Either way, whatever is in the Agenda now can be discussed at the actual AGM and adjustments made to the ratified motions.

Thanks Ryan,

Is there any chance to catch up the $97k over two years with two special levies instead of one?

Regards,

Matt

If you look at how our schemes revenue has tracked compared to inflation it has tracked way behind for years.  This seem to me to be a catch up.  It didnt help that STM did nothing for the last 3 years.  But to be fair im sure the owners would have voted down the increase at the previous AGM's in any effect.

Matt.

Hi Matthew,

The issue is more to do with the ratio of income to expenditure in the 22/23 scheme financial year.

The scheme raised $304k for the financial year yet spent $406k. That spend did not contain any particularly anomalous expenditure. I drafted the projected budget based on estimates per previous expenditure and potential current costs, which equated to an Admin fund spend of approximately $378k, which I would suggest would be close to the genuine running cost of the Scheme at present. Due to the gap in income and expenditure for the previous fin yr, the deficit remains and must be erased.

The final (4th) quarterly instalment for the 22/23 fin yr instalment was due 1 Dec 22 for the period to 28 Feb 23. The first instalment for the new fin yr (23/24) is due 1 March, hence the injection of funds by end March per your attached report. These funds are attributed to the current financial year, not the last.

I hope that helps to explain, however if you’d like to discuss further, please let me know.

Hi Ryan,

Wasn’t there $76k of levy revenue in March that caught it up a bit? End of March Admin balance was -$26k.

Dear Committee,

Please see attached proposed budget for the current financial year for your scheme. Also attached is the actual financial expenditure as per documents received from previous management at handover.

As you will see, the scheme ran a large Administration Fund deficit last year financial of over $96K.

The proposed Administration fund income had been raised from $304,000.00 to $378,000.00 ($152k already levied) in order to arrest the currently deficient budgeted income and to cease further deficit at the conclusion of this financial year. Also, in order to erase the deficit from the previous year, a one-off special levy of $97,000.00 has been proposed as per the guidelines within the Act.

Please feel free to review this proposed budget, and forward any questions should you have any.
