If a liability arises for which no provision, or inadequate provision, has been made in the budget, the body corporate must, by ordinary resolution— fix a special contribution to be levied on the owner of each lot towards the liability; and decide whether the contribution is to be paid in a single amount or in instalments and, if in instalments, the number of instalments; and fix the date on or before which payment of the single amount or each instalment is required. Also, the committee may fix an interim contribution to be levied on the owner of each lot before the owner is levied contributions fixed on the basis of the body corporate’s budgets for a financial year.
