Retirement villages – NSW

1 March 2021 by By Lawyers

Following recent changes to the Act, the Retirement Villages Amendment (Asset Management Plans) Regulation 2021 and the Retirement Villages Amendment (Exit Entitlement) Regulation 2021 have now commenced.

Asset management plans

The regulations require operators to maintain an asset management plan for each village they manage or operate. They must have a copy available for inspection at all reasonable times by a resident, prospective resident or a person acting on their behalf.

Operators must also prepare a 3-year report for capital maintenance, extracted from the asset management plan, to inform expenditure for major items of capital in the annual budget.

Exit entitlements, recurrent charges and right of entry

The regulations also affect exit entitlements and recurrent charges. They provide that an operator may enter premises in certain circumstances to facilitate the sale of the premises.

By Lawyers keeps you up to date

The By Lawyers Retirement Villages (NSW) guide has been updated accordingly. The effect of the new regulations is detailed in the commentary. There is also a new precedent ‘Letter to client providing advice on village contract’ which has been added to Folder B on the matter plan. The Retirement Villages (NSW) guide is included in our Conveyancing (NSW) publication.

See our related Obiter post Retirement Villages (NSW) – Amendments concerning the recent amendments to the Act.
