6. LEVIES 6.1

26.11.2013

The Directors shall from time to time make levies upon the members for the purpose of meeting the annual operating expenses of the Association including: Page 4

i)

all general expenses which the Association has incurred;

ii)

all expenses which the Directors reasonably anticipate the Association will incur by way of maintenance, repair, improvement and keeping in good order and condition the common area;

iii) all expenses which the Directors reasonably anticipate the Association will incur by way of maintenance of the exteriors of any buildings, structures, erections or other improvements situate on the private erven; iv) all expenses relating to any statutory charges, rates or levies charged to the Association by any Statutory Authority.

In calculating levies the Directors shall take into account income, if any, earned by the Association.

6.2

The Directors shall estimate the amount required by the Association to meet its operating expenses during each year, together with any estimated deficiency / surplus as shall result from the preceding year. They shall then, make a levy upon the members, equal as nearly as is reasonably practicable, to such estimated amount. The Directors may include in such levy an amount to be held in reserve to meet anticipated future operating expenditure not of an annual or recurring nature. Every such levy shall be recoverable from the members, in equal monthly payments, due in advance on the first day of each and every succeeding month of such year.

Any levy not paid on due date shall carry interest at a rate as the Directors may decide.

6.3

The levy shall not be implemented or become binding until approved by members at a General Meeting of the Association. Members shall be entitled to a full explanation, be able to raise questions and debate the matter prior to voting either for or against a resolution to implement such levy. In the event that approval of a proposed levy is denied then any and all existing levy or levies shall remain in full force and effect pending resolution of members objections and concerns and their approval of a new proposed levy.

6.4

In the event of the Association being unable to fulfill its objectives, from time to time, in respect of expenditure for: i)

statutory Rates and taxes;

ii)

maintenance of the common area;

iii) any other obligation assumed by it in terms of an agreement with a Statutory Authority then the Directors may make special levies upon members, not exceeding the identified and certified amount in question, without the passing of a resolution at a General Meeting of the Association. The applicable levy may be made in sum total as a once-off charge or by a specified number of monthly payments and may bear interest at a rate upon which the Directors will decide.

6.5

Unforeseen circumstances may arise from time to time that may necessitate the creation and imposition of a specific additional levy, other than for structural changes to buildings on private erven, on the members. In such event, the Directors will motivate a detailed proposal for consideration and voting upon at a General Meeting to be called for such purpose.

6.6

No specific additional levies will be raised for structural changes to the buildings and/or facilities on the private erven unless such levy be agreed to and approved, by special resolution, at a General Meeting to be called for such purpose.

6.7

Any amount due by a member by way of a levy and interest shall be a debt due by him to the Association. The obligation of a member to pay an ongoing levy and interest shall cease upon the date on which his membership terminates without prejudice to the Association’s right to recover any outstanding arrear levies and interest. No levies or interest paid by a member shall, under any circumstances, be repayable by the Association upon his ceasing to be a member. A member’s successor in title to a private erf shall be liable as from the date upon which he becomes a member pursuant to the transfer of that erf, to pay the levy and interest thereon attributable to that erf.

6.8

The levy payable by a member shall bear the same proportion to the total levy imposed on members, as the number of residential plus garage erven registered in the name of that member bears to the aggregate number of all the residential plus garage erven.
