Forecasts
A Sinking Fund budget must allow for raising a reasonable capital amount both to provide for necessary and reasonable spending from the Sinking Fund for the financial year and also to put away an appropriate proportional share of amounts necessary to be accumulated to meet anticipated major expenditure over at least the next 9 years for the following types of expenditure:
1. Anticipated expenditure of a capital or non-recurrent nature (e.g. repainting, major structural repairs)
2. Periodic replacement of items of a significant capital nature (e.g. fencing, pool pumps, carpets, etc.)
3. Other expenditure that should reasonably be met from capital (e.g. pool furniture, BBQ’s etc.)
