Long-Term Maintenance Plans for NZ Body Corporates

Every body corporate must have a long-term maintenance plan. It's the backbone of fair levies and avoiding surprise special levies.

What the plan covers

Expected maintenance and replacement of common property and building elements, with estimated costs and timing, so the body corporate can budget ahead.

Length and review

Following the 2022 amendments, plans must cover a longer horizon (at least 30 years) and be reviewed regularly. Check the current regulations for exact review timing.

Linking the plan to levies

The plan should drive your long-term maintenance fund contributions, so costs are shared fairly between current and future owners.

How Flatflo helps

Is a long-term maintenance plan mandatory?

Yes. Every body corporate must have one, regardless of size.

Does the plan have to be in disclosure statements?

Yes. Buyers receive information about the plan as part of disclosure.
