(1)  Each lot created by a plan has a unit entitlement.

(2)  A unit entitlement –

(a) may be a general unit entitlement operating for all the purposes of this Act; or

(3)  If a lot has a special unit entitlement for a particular purpose, it must also have a general unit entitlement for other purposes and a reference in this Act to the unit entitlement of the lot is to be taken, so far as relevant to a purpose for which the special unit entitlement was established, as a reference to the special unit entitlement but otherwise is to be taken to be a reference to the general unit entitlement of the lot.
