Aspen’s Portfolio is Positioned for Growth

We expect rents and values to continue to increase across Aspen’s portfolio over the medium term despite the increase in interest rates:

  • § Historically low vacancy rates, population growth, and significant building supply bottlenecks and cost spikes are overwhelming the impacts of higher interest rates to date

  • § Aspen’s portfolio has been accumulated at well below replacement cost – our rents are at the lower end of the spectrum and local competition

  • § Our properties are typically well located in metropolitan areas and attractive lifestyle locations with easy access to jobs and facilities - employment conditions are strong

  • § Rental growth may outpace price growth over the medium term as more households shift to renting due to higher interest rates / mortgage repayments and long delays in new house builds

Residential Land Development

  • § Current development works along Maranoa Place and Vesta Drive are expected to complete in FY23 - 31 contracts currently on hand with total value of $5.0m (ex. GST) with expected margin of over 35%

Future Mixed Use Park

  • § Stage 10 expected to commence in FY24:

  • Premium part of CQ facing Murray River with views to Goolwa and the bridge, close to marina facilities

  • 81 lots (25 waterfront), likely to be developed in stages

Boat and Caravan Storage
----- End of picture text -----

  • Selling prices and margins expected to be higher than current stage

  • § We expect new residents in current and future residential stages to have a higher propensity to lease marina berths as they do not have frontage to the canals

Alexandrina Cove Lifestyle Village (ACLV)

  • § Was a traditional Retirement Village (RV) with Deferred Management Fee (DMF)

  • § Substantial, high quality community building and only 17 DMF houses completed prior to falling into receivership – RV house re-leasing values fell to a low of $249k, which was below production cost

  • § Spare land at the village was converted into Land Lease Community use with agreement from the existing RV residents – both resident types share all the community facilities

  • § RV exit fees were reduced from 35% to 20% for existing residents and to 10% for future residents - RV re-leasing values have recovered to around $350k

  • § Production of new houses under the Land Lease model has commenced – 11 houses sold to date at average price of $342k

  • § For each new house developed and sold, we expect to generate c.$115k of value add (profit on house sale plus uplift in land value), and have $nil permanent capital employed[1]

Park Community Facilities

  • § Over the past 3 years we have achieved 9% per annum growth in occupancy by improving the park facilities and maintaining low rents across all areas of the park (including the tavern and marine service sheds that are independently operated)

  • § Current wet berth occupancy is only 67% - if demand grows sufficiently, the number of wet berths and land storage spaces could be expanded at relatively low cost – the marina basin already exists and the spare land is sandy and relatively flat

  • § In future, as occupancy increases, we will have the opportunity to increase rates further – Aspen’s tourist caravan site revenues are currently multiples of CQ’s marina wet berth revenues

Opportunities

ü Good quality, established Retirement Village - best village producing new houses in Strathalbyn - offers quieter, rural lifestyle compared to Mount Barker for instance

ü Spare land converted from RV (DMF) to Land Lease scheme - leveraging off existing brand, management and community facilities

  • ü Reduced DMF exit fees from 37% to 25% - this should improve re-leasing values and selling times for existing houses

ü First 4 new houses being developed under the land lease scheme were quickly sold at an average price of $369k and high price of $399k – land sites were already serviced

ü Another 50 sites in the development pipeline

Opportunities

  • ü Mount Barker is a fast growing, major hub in the Adelaide Hills only 30minutes drive to Adelaide CBD

  • ü The Ridge offers attractive, elevated north and easterly views to the Mount Barker Summit

  • ü Sold first 11 residential land lots at an average price of $254k (inc. GST) at a profit margin of 38% - scope to reduce prices to encourage demand

ü Increasing density by optimising lot layout and sizes

  • ü Still contemplating potential LLC at lower part of the site – but Residential use has been far more profitable to date – may be better opportunities to create a new LLC elsewhere in the region

The Ridge - Mount Barker

  • § Property was acquired under a Receivership sale in December 2020

§ Approved for 97 residential lots at time of acquisition – we have already increased this to 105 by optimising density (lot layout and size) in Stage 1 § Stage 1 – 36 lots developed and 11 settled in June 2022 – net sales proceeds covered 100% of the development cost for the entire stage § Expect net sales proceeds from the remaining 25 developed lots to cover the entire initial land cost – could be $nil capital employed at this point § Will assess market conditions through FY23 to determine optimal use of the remaining undeveloped land which is approved for 69 residential lots

CREST @ Woodside – Aspen Managed

  • § Property was originally a Defence housing estate, then became the Inverbrackie Detention Centre for asylum seekers

  • § Acquired by Mill Hill Capital Affordable Accommodation & Land Fund (AALF) from the Department of Defence in December 2016

  • § At acquisition:

  • Single title spanning 22 HA

  • Zoned Watershed (Primary Production) – not residential

  • 81 houses built mainly in the 1970s in various states of disrepair (the lots coloured orange on site plan)

  • Included old community building and new industrial shed

  • Sewer was disconnected at the boundary for the sale – houses could not be occupied

§ Subsequent improvements:

  • Reconnected sewer to SA Water’s system with a new pump station and about 1.6kms of new pipe

  • Refurbished and leased the houses under existing use rights

  • Gained approvals for subdivision into 171 residential lots (the 81 existing house lots and 90 new land lots)

  • Rejuvenated the infrastructure - roads, footpaths, sewer, power, storm water inc. new natural swales and detention basin, parklands – handed to Council for it to maintain in future

  • § Individually titled houses and land lots have been sold over time

  • § AALF expected to wind up in 2023 post completion of Stage 3 - expected investment return of about 3.5x (pre performance fee and tax)
