• update the platform with all expenses paid on a quarterly basis;
• issue a half yearly income and expenditure statement and reconciliation against the half yearly bank balance;

• issue notices via the online noticeboard on matters relating to levy payments;
• contact owners with outstanding balances and handle all enquiries from owners relating to administration matters;
• send you (the owner or committee) a reminder two weeks prior to the quarterly administration for a copy of the bank statement to be sent to enable the processing of your administration requirements; and
