Where to find your unit entitlements

Short version: in the Schedule of Unit Entitlement on your registered strata plan — a table of lot number against entitlement with an aggregate at the bottom, usually on the plan’s administration sheet. No government API publishes them and Strata Hub reports lot counts, not entitlements, so you copy them from the plan or from a document that reproduces it.

What the entitlements decide

A lot’s unit entitlement is its share of the scheme, and three things run on it:

  • Levies. Each levy is split across the lots pro-rata by entitlement.
  • Special resolutions. A special resolution fails if more than 25% of the unit entitlements of the votes cast are against it.
  • Quorum. A general meeting’s quorum can be met by 25% of lots or by 25% of unit entitlements.

A wrong figure skews every one of those from the day it is entered.

Where the schedule comes from

The legal source is the schedule on the registered plan. Nothing overrides it except a registered dealing — a re-subdivision, or a Tribunal order reallocating entitlements under s236.

Check your own records first

The schedule is often already on hand:

  • the contract for sale of any lot — a copy of the strata plan is a prescribed disclosure document in every NSW strata sale, so an owner’s conveyancing file has it;
  • the strata roll handed over by a previous strata manager or secretary — s177 requires the roll to record each lot’s unit entitlement;
  • old levy notices, which normally print the lot’s entitlement and the scheme aggregate on the face of the notice;
  • any pre-purchase strata report an owner commissioned — those reproduce the schedule in full.

Ordering the plan

NSW Land Registry Services doesn’t sell to the public directly; you buy through an authorised information broker (InfoTrack, GlobalX, Dye & Durham/SAI Global, Hazlett, LawLab) for roughly $15–35, delivered as a PDF within minutes. Ask for the strata plan, all sheets — a title search on its own gives you the lot and plan reference, not the entitlement schedule.

Practice note
Add up the entitlements you enter and compare the total with the aggregate printed on the plan. A single transposed digit silently skews every levy split and every special-resolution count from then on. Enter the whole numbers exactly as printed — don’t convert them to percentages or reduce the fractions; Strata does the pro-rata split and the rounding for you.

In Strata

Type each lot’s entitlement when you add the lots under Owners & lots; the running aggregate shows as you go so you can check it against the plan. Setting up your scheme covers the rest of the setup, and Levies, arrears and payment plans shows the split in use.

Current as at 6 October 2026. Strata surfaces statutory rules as guidance, but it is record-keeping software, not legal advice, and no page here accounts for the particulars of your scheme. Check the Act, your registered strata plan and your by-laws, and get advice before acting on anything with money or a dispute attached.
