$1440 on average per unit this year. 105 townhouses in the ACT. We have playgrounds, 11.4Ha total area, managing agent, tennis courts (basic clay courts), pizza oven and BBQ (basic wood), 9.1kW PV system offsetting our public lighting costs, some patches of remnant bush, a flat playing field area, but we were not successful in getting a community garden reestablished even though we had it in the original design from 1976. We are very lucky that most of the asphalt is a public road and all of our utility mains are in easements that we don’t own so there is not much in the way of big ticket items to cover in our sinking fund.
If the units are worth about $500K on average, we have a 0.28% levy to value ratio. Next time people grumble about fees (I am treasurer) I will have to point out how low this is on the Jimmy T scale.
