The body corporate has determined the levies payable and unit owner's share has been calculated according to their utility interest.

The body corporate has provided records to prove the amount claimed.
The amounts ordered take into account the unit owner’s repayments of $1,692.28, $1,906.30 and $577.63 made on 2 March, 12 March and 13 March 2026 respectively.

Is the Unit owner liable for interest?

If a unit owner fails to pay levies by the due date, interest accrues on the unpaid balance. A body corporate may charge interest up to 10% per annum. See section 128 Unit Titles Act 2010.
