RVRA Research - Budgets
education > research-budget
The Retirement Village Residents Association (RVRA) has developed and distributed a survey on Asset Management Plans and Village Budgets since 2022.
See below for the link to complete the 2026 survey and to read the previous annual survey reports
An asset management plan (or AMP) documents the costs of purchase, and ongoing maintenance, repairs and replacement of a retirement village’s major items of capital, including shared major items of capital.
The plan must include the following content:
- an asset register of the village’s major items of capital, including information about the effective life of items of capital and
- a maintenance schedule of the village’s major items of capital, including information about capital replacement, and
- operators must also prepare a three-year report for capital maintenance extracted from the asset management plan to inform expenditure for the annual budget.
The 2026 Survey was now been launched for RVRA members and all NSW retirement village residents to complete.
You can help us, by providing relevant, current data to guide our discussions with the various NSW bodies (Government, regulators, and influencers) in relation to Retirement Villages legislation.
The short, anonymous survey will take around 5 minutes to complete on your computer. It closes on Tuesday 1 September and a final report will be published on our website.
In the survey the RVRA would like you to tell us some general information about your village, recent budget changes, and how the Asset Management Plan is being managed.
