I'm not certain about the Western Australian position. In New South Wales, however, where a contribution, which is not a regular period contribution (ie special levy), is payable by the vendor and the vendor discloses that contribution in the contract for sale, the amount is adjusted between the parties as at the settlement date. If the contribution is levied before the contract date but not disclosed in the contract, the vendor is liable to pay the full amount.
You will need to look at the standard terms of the contract for sale in Western Australia under adjustments or apportionment of charges relating to the property. The Real Estate Institute of Western Australia may further be able to assist. I apologise for the delay in posting this answer as I understand that settlement on your transaction may now have already taken place.
