OUTLINE OF KEY VILLAGE SCHEME TERMS.

Residency Rights

A resident is granted a non-transferable 49 year lease to occupy an independent living Residence in the Village by the owner Kingsley Lakeside Village Pty Ltd (“Kingsley”). The Lease terminates on the resident’s death, on the resident deciding to leave the Village or if the resident for health reasons cannot safely live in the Residence.

Residents have the use of the Village’s Communal Amenities and Common Areas.

Lease rights secure

A Resident’s Lease is protected by:

·      the conditions of the Lease;

·      the provisions of the Retirement Villages Act 1992 which includes statutory charge securing the resident’s Tenure Sum and a Memorial registered on the village land title.

Management

Kingsley is responsible for managing the Village in accordance with the law governing retirement villages and the terms and conditions of the Village Scheme contained in the Lease.

Tenure Sum

·      No rent is paid for the Lease.  Instead, the resident lends to Kingsley a"Tenure Sum" free of any interest, for the duration of the Lease, and until a replacement resident Leases the Residence.

·      The Tenure Sum equals the market value of the Residence under the “Village Scheme” terms.

·      When leaving the Village, the outgoing resident and Kingsley agree upon “Current Market Value” of the Residence. Failing agreement,it is determined by a valuer.

·      The Tenure Sum is repaid to the outgoing resident by Kingsley even if the Tenure Sum paid by the next resident is a lesser amount.

Loan Growth Sum

·      If the Residence is re-let for a Current Market Value that exceeds the Tenure Sum paid by the departing resident, that excess,called the “Loan Growth Sum”, is paid by Kingsley to the departing resident.

Deferred Fee

When the resident is repaid the Tenure Sum, the resident pays a Deferred Fee to Kingsley for the resident’s:

·      occupancy and use of the Residence and its amenities; and

·      shared available use of the Village’s Communal Amenities and Common Areas.

The Deferred Fee is calculated on the Current Market Value of the Residence as last determined by agreement or valuation (called “Standard Lease Value”) and paid for the Residence by the next resident.

If the Residence is not re-let by 36 months after it is vacated or is not re-let because Kingsley chooses not to market the Residence, the Deferred Fee is calculated on the Residence’s Standard Lease Value as last determined or agreed.

The Deferred Fee is calculated on the number of days the Residence is occupied by the resident and until the Resident “Permanently Vacates” the Residence (called “Fee Days”) at 3% per annum of the Standard Lease Value but is capped after 2,555 Fee Days ( 7 years) at 21%of that Standard Lease Value.                                                                                                                                                            

Reserve Fund Contribution

To maintain the condition of the Village, there is a Village “Reserve Fund” which pays for repairs to, replacements in, renovations and maintenance of the Communal Amenities, the Common Areas and the Residences which are of a major nature and are not payable out of Operating Costs.  

When residents leave the Village and receive repayment of their Tenure Sum and any Loan Growth Sum they make a contribution to the Reserve Fund. This is calculated on the number of Fee Days used to calculate the Deferred Fee as 1.5% per annum of the Standard Lease Value last agreed or determined but is capped after 2,555 Fee Days ( 7 years) at 10.5% of that Standard Lease Value.  

Operating Costs

Operating Costs for the Village are divided into two categories:

“Communal Amenities Operating Costs” (CAOC’s) being those Operating Costs that relate to, and if not directly charged to, can be fairly apportioned to, the Village’s Communal Amenities.

“General Operating Costs” (GOCs) being those Operating Costs other than CAOCs. 

CAOCs  are shared equally between all Village residences.

GOCs  are shared between the Village residences in the same proportion that the capital value of each  leased residence bears to the total capital value of the Village.  

Operating Costs generally comprise the Lessor’s outgoings ,costs and expenses incurred for the maintenance, management and operation of the Village Scheme and include but are not limited to local authority general rates and charges, Water Corporation service and consumption charges for water, sewerage and drainage, the costs of Village buildings insurance and other risks insurance, electricity, gas, waste removal, repairs, maintenance, external painting, cleaning and gardening expenses for Communal Amenities and Common Areas, costs of providing amenities and services and management costs. Refer to the Lease clause 1.2 definition and Schedule 1 Item 6 for full details.  

Operating Costs are budgeted for annually, after consultation with the residents.

The actual Operating Costs are determined after the end of the financial year. Any surplus is applied either to residents’ future Operating Costs or to other purposes approved by a residents’ “special resolution that are for the general benefit of the Village’s residents.

If there is a deficit the residents can be required to pay their share of the short fall amount.

Residents Own Outgoings

Residents pay for the electricity, gas, telephone and other utilities or services they use in or are charged to their Residence.  

Administration Fee

An Administration Fee of $560.00 is payable by the resident on entry. The fee covers administrative  expenses incurred by Kingsley in connection with contracting for and granting of your Lease.
