Property billing support
Whether you’ve got questions about your property bill or you’re looking for information about service charges, we’ve created a range of resources to help you understand our billing process.
Your Annual Budget Schedule (ABS)
As part of the improvements we’ve been making to our billing documents, we’ve redesigned the Annual Charging Schedule (ACS) and made it simpler, more consistent and easier to understand.
Based on customer feedback, we’ve renamed it to the Annual Budget Schedule (ABS) and put all the information you need about your bills in one place.
Understanding your property bill
Your bills will be based on your Annual Budget Schedule (ABS) and will include charges for rent and rates, facilities management, service charges and additional sums. Learn more about your property bill and see an example of our new layout based on a fictional customer.
Understanding annual reconciliation
The charges outlined in your Annual Budget Schedule (ABS) are forecasts for the year ahead.
At the end of the financial year, we’ll compare the estimated costs outlined in the ABS against the actual costs of the facilities or services provided at your property.

Customer Billable Works
Customer billable works are ad-hoc improvements made to a property within an area of the property that the customer occupies exclusively. Some typical examples of customer billable works include a request to hang a notice board or put up window blinds.
These types of improvements fall out of standard planned, remedial or reactive maintenance and are therefore chargeable back to the customer.
