Report detail extracted
What made this report unique
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.
Building / structural improvements
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.
Adjusted Division 43 base
$271,092 after affected Division 40 items were considered for the public summary.
Part-year claim context
The first year was calculated on a 166-day pro-rata basis, so the first full-year claim is the cleaner comparison point.
Specific works captured
The extension, roof, internal renovation and external landscaping works explain why the established property still produced a meaningful depreciation schedule.
