(1)  The body corporate may from time to time levy contributions in respect of the lots for the purposes of raising an amount that the body corporate decides to be necessary to meet anticipated expenditure or for any other purpose as agreed by an ordinary resolution.
(2)  The contributions are –

(3)  A contribution falls due for payment on a date fixed by the body corporate and notified by written notice of the amount due given by the body corporate to the owners.
(4)  The owner of the lot as at the due date for payment is liable for the contribution and any person who later becomes an owner before the contribution is paid becomes jointly and severally liable for payment.
