41 Schedule 3 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Schedule 3 Form of statement about statutory supervisors r 17(2)(a) Under the Retirement Villages Act 2003, the operator of a retirement village must appoint a statutory supervisor for the village unless the Registrar of Retirement Vil- lages exempts the operator from the requirement.
The core duties of a statutory supervisor are to— (a) provide a stakeholder facility for intending residents and residents who pay deposits or progress payments in respect of occupation right agreements or uncompleted residential units or facilities at the retirement village; and (b) monitor the financial position of the retirement village; and (c) (d) report annually to the Registrar and residents on the performance of its duties and the exercise of its powers; and perform any other duties that are imposed by the Act or any other Act, any regulations made under the Act, and any documents of appointment.
42 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Schedule 4 Schedule 4 Form of statement of information for intending residents r 29(1)(c) Important information for intending residents Decisions about retirement villages are very important.

They have long-term personal and financial consequences.

You should read this disclosure statement carefully.
This disclosure statement draws your attention to some of the important matters you should consider before deciding to enter a retirement village.

Ask questions.

You must obtain advice from a lawyer independent of the operator of the village before you sign an occupation right agreement (ie, a document that confers on any person the right to occupy a residential unit within the village and specifies any terms or conditions to which that right is subject).
It is common for there to be misunderstandings by residents and their families about— • • • • the kind of legal interest that the resident has in the village: what happens if the resident or their family wants to exit an occupation right agreement: the fees and charges that apply to entering, moving between units within, and leaving the village: the ongoing fees and charges.
It is important that you and your family understand what is involved in entering into an occupation right agreement to join a retirement village.

Although in most cases you will have 15 working days to cancel an occupation right agreement after signing it, you should consider the issues carefully before you sign any application form or agreement.
43 Schedule 5 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Schedule 5 Form of statement of information about avoiding occupation right agreement Section 31 of the Retirement Villages Act 2003 gives you the right to avoid an agree- ment that you enter into for the right to occupy a residential unit in a retirement vil- lage, but only if you enter into the agreement in the circumstances described in a row of the table below and the circumstances involve— r 29(1)(g) (a) (b) (c) a significant detriment to you; or a material (not merely technical or minor) breach of the Act; or deliberate misconduct by the operator of the village.
You can use the right only by giving written notice to the operator of the village, and the statutory supervisor (if there is one) of the village, within the period described in the relevant row of the table.
Circumstances Period The village was not registered, but was required to be The registration of the village was suspended and the operator had been notified of the suspension The agreement did not contain, in clear and unambiguous form, the material it was required by the Act to contain You did not receive independent legal advice before entering into the agreement Before entering into the agreement, you did not receive a disclosure statement that complied with the Act, the residents’ code of rights, the code of practice or a statement when the code would come into force, and a copy of the agreement 3 years after you entered into the agreement or 6 months after you knew, or ought to have known, the circumstances existed when you entered into the agreement, whichever ends first 3 years after you entered into the agreement or 6 months after you knew, or ought to have known, the circumstances existed when you entered into the agreement, whichever ends first 1 year after you entered into the agreement or 6 months after you knew, or ought to have known, the circumstances existed when you entered into the agreement, whichever ends first 1 year after you entered into the agreement or 6 months after you knew, or ought to have known, the circumstances existed when you entered into the agreement, whichever ends first 1 year after you entered into the agreement or 6 months after you knew, or ought to have known, the circumstances existed when you entered into the agreement, whichever ends first You should seek legal advice before using the right.
If you use the right, you are entitled to a refund of some amounts you paid for the right to occupy the unit and for services or facilities that were not provided, interest on those amounts, and your actual and reasonable costs associated with using the right (such as legal expenses and removal costs).
44 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Schedule 5 The operator may dispute your use of the right, refer the dispute to a disputes panel under the Retirement Villages Act 2003, and refuse to pay the refund while the dis- pute is unresolved.
45 Schedule 6 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Schedule 6 Requirements for financial statements if there are no audited statements r 37(2) The financial statements must be tabulated if practicable.
The amounts in the financial statements must give a true and fair view of the results and state of affairs of the operator or the retirement village (as appropri- ate)— (a) at a time that is specified in the statements and is not more than 6 months before the date of issue of the disclosure statement; and (b) for the accounting period concerned.
The financial statements must include so much of the following as is known or as can be estimated: (a) for the first accounting period ending after the date of issue of the dis- closure statement,— (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) the total operating revenues; and the management expenses; and the total interest expense; and the net surplus or deficit before taking account of taxation and extraordinary items; and the total provided for, or credited by way of, taxation; and the net surplus or deficit before taking account of extraordinary items; and the total of any extraordinary items (net of taxation) that derive from events outside the ordinary activities of the operator or the retirement village (as appropriate); and (viii) the net surplus or deficit after taking account of extraordinary items; and (ix) (x) (xi) the distributions or appropriations of the net surplus or deficit; and the amount of any expenditure on repairs and maintenance; and the amount of any provision for repairs and maintenance or, if no provision has been made, a statement to that effect: (b) a description of the nature of any item that is of such incidence and size, or of such nature, that its disclosure is necessary to explain the perform- ance of the operator or the retirement village: (c) the amounts showing— (i) (ii) the total assets; and the total tangible assets; and 1 2 3 46 Reprinted as at 12 November 2018 Retirement Villages (General) Regulations 2006 Schedule 6 (iii) (iv) the total liabilities; and the total equity: (d) (e) a forecast statement of operating expenditure for the operator or the retirement village (as appropriate) specifying the amounts that must be met by residents of the village for the first accounting period ending after the date of issue of the disclosure statement: a forecast statement of all income and expenditure, including amounts repayable to holders of security interests relating to the retirement vil- lage in the first accounting period ending after the date of issue of the disclosure statement.
