Could you please explain where there is communal hot water system (gas heated) how does the gas bill get proportioned.
The understanding I have been given from the real estate agent is as follows, does this sound correct?
The strata fee covers part of the Gas bill for the communal pump etc.
There is another portion of the gas bill where the occupier pays for the usage of the gas for hot water in their apartment.
I am assuming this based on the usage and not proportioned equally across all apartments.
Thank You

In our building there’s one bill for hot water (apportioned on the basis of Unit Entitlements) and another based on the gas meter that measures the flow of gas into your unit. It’s a pity the first figure is divided the way it does – one resident in a large flat pays more than a family of six crammed into a smaller unit. The only wat to change it is to install hot water meters for each apartment – try getting that past your OC.
