Balance sheet remains conservative and gearing remains below targeted level despite increased drawn debt

NTA per security grew by 6.8% to $2.66 driven by cap rate compression and stronger earnings performances from a number of investment properties

Camellia update

Project site is located at 181 James Ruse Drive Camellia, Parramatta NSW

  • 6.8 hectares located 23km west of Sydney CBD

  • State Government has recently announced that the light rail will travel past our site

  • Master Plan has received State Gateway approval

The Master Plan provides for 5.3:1 FSR which delivers c.300,000m[2] of buildable area. That is expected to provide c.3,250 apartments and 15,000m[2] of retail/commercial

Following public exhibition, we anticipated council sign off, however, following the appointment of council administrators as part of the council amalgamation process there have been delays and requests for further information

  • We are providing the further information to council and Department of Planning (DOP)

  • The council and DOP are pushing forward with their studies to rezone the entire Camellia suburb which is a further positive for the site due to an emphasis on residential dwellings

  • Council and DOP are reviewing our site in the context of the future wider district plan

Summary and outlook

We are pleased to deliver another strong underlying profit result

  • Securityholder distributions are secure and predictable

  • 100% of distributions covered by recurring earnings

  • Payout ratio of 76% of underlying profit

The business outlook remains positive with a strong balance sheet of opportunities

  • The diversified nature of our multi-business model means we are well positioned at this stage in the cycle

We aim to continue to grow our positions in the storage sector and our third party capital platform

  • Expanding our investment relations and product offering

Despite the disappointing delays to the residential development approval process in Sydney as a result of the council amalgamation program, we are confident these timing delays will not ultimately impact our anticipated returns

  • Our exposure to residential development will reduce over the next 12-18 months as projects are completed and realised

  • 73% exposure to the Sydney residential market
