Report detail extracted
These details show the report-specific review behind the headline figures, including the capital works basis, adjustment items and property history considered in the schedule.
Original premises recorded as circa 1940, with rental availability from 16 January 2019.
Page 16 recorded a rear double-storey extension, weatherboard construction with timber windows on concrete slab, a new metal-clad roof to the original dwelling, internal renovation works and external hard landscaping.
$271,092 after affected Division 40 items were considered for the public summary.
The first year was calculated on a 166-day pro-rata basis, so the first full-year claim is the cleaner comparison point.
The extension, roof, internal renovation and external landscaping works explain why the established property still produced a meaningful depreciation schedule.
The report converts a detailed renovation history into figures the owner and accountant can review without needing the full private report.
