REPORT TO UNITHOLDERS

The directors of Bunnings Property Management Limited, the responsible entity for the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust, are pleased to present this interim report to unitholders covering the financial results of the Trust for the six months to 31 December 2006 and a brief merview of the activities of the Trust.

Activities during the period included the acquisition of an established Bonnings Warehouse property, the completion of property upgrades to three Bonnings Warehouses, five market rent reviews and strong upward revaluation of the fair value of the portfolio.

Financial results

Total income for the period was \$28.8 million, up by 5.8 per cent from last year's \$27.2 million due to the additional income received from additions to the property portfolio, market rent reviews and annual indexation of rentals to the consumer price index.

The Trust reported a distributable profit of \$19.4 million earned during the half-year, an increase of 3.3 per cent on the distributable profit of \$18.8 million in the comparative period last year.

Finance costs of \$6.5 million were 10.2 per cent higher than the comparative six months due to an increased average level of debt from \$392 million to \$208 million and the increase in weighted average interest rates from 5.89 per cent to 5.98 per cent.

Interim distribution

An interim distribution of 6.42 cents per ordinary unit has been dectared. This is an increase of 3.2 per cent on the prior corresponding period (6.22 cents per unit).

Interim distributions will be made on 23 February 2007 to unitholders on the Trust's register as at 5.00 pm on 29 December 2006.

The estimated tax advantaged component of the distribution is 23.66 per cent.

Property acquisitions, developments and upgrades

During the half-year, the Trust ourchased an established Bunnings Warehouse property at North Belmont, in New South Wales, approximately 16 kilometres south of the Newcastle CBD. The 8000 series Bunnings Warehouse was acquired for \$10.85 million from a third party and is subject to a lease with Bunnings Group Limited until March 2016, with two options for a further five years each, exercisable by the tenant.

The Trust also completed upgrades to properties at Cairns in Queensland (\$0.9 million, finalised in September 2006), Croydon in Victoria (\$5.6 million. finatised in October 2006], and Lismore in New South Wates (\$0.6 mittion, finatised in September 2006). The remaining vacant showroom adjacent to the Bunnings Warehouse at Bayswater has been teased as an Autobarn outlet for an initial seven year term commencing November 2006 and two options of five years each, exercisable by the tenant.

Total capital expenditure on the portfolio during the half-year amounted to \$19.0 million.

At 31 December 2006 the average lease expiry term of the portfolio was 8.5 years.

Market rent reviews

During the period market rent reviews were scheduled for five properties, one of which has been agreed and the remainder are being independently determined or negotiated.

Both parties have agreed to no increase in rent at Frankston in Victoria as the passino rental was considered to be at the market level.

Independent valuers have been appointed to determine the market rent for Mindarie, Midland and Geraldton. Negotiations are continuing regarding the market rent for Coffs Harbour.

Revaluations

During the half-year the entire Trust portfolio was revalued in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS).

Eleven property revaluations during the period were performed by independent valuers. The remaining 42 properties were subject to directors' revaluations. The directors' revaluations are subject to review by an independent valuer.

The value of the contolic increased to \$8%.4 million following net revaluation gains of \$94.3 million and \$19.0 million capital expenditure during the six month period ended 31 December 2006. The net revaluation gains reflect the effects of rental growth and continued yield compression in the property market.

The net revaluation gain of \$94.3 million is recorded as an unrealised gain in the Income and Distribution Statement and in accordance with a resolution passed by unitholders in December 2005 will not be distributed to unitiolders

Financial position

As at 31 December 2006 the Trust's total assets had grown to \$846.7 mittion with unitholders' equity of \$599.9 million and total tiabilities of \$246.8 million.

The Trust's gearing ratio (debt to total assets) at 31 December 2006 was 25.9 per cent, and within the preferred range of 20 to 40 per cent.

Unitholder return

The Trust's unit price at 31 December 2006 was \$2.16. up 10.8 per cent from \$1.95 at the same time tast year.

The Trust provided unitholders with a total return, comprising capital appreciation and distributions, of 17.3 per cent in the 2006 calendar year compared with 14.0 per cent for the 2005 calendar year.

Interest rate management

The Trust has a policy of hedging the majority of its borrowings against interest rate movements to ensure stability of distributions. The responsible entity continues to actively manage the Trust's exposure to interest rates, taking additional cover as considered appropriate to meet debt related commitments.

At 31 December 2006, the Trust's hedging cover was \$177 million against interest bearing debt of \$219 million. The average interest rate paid on debt after hedging but excluding margins for the six month period was 5.98 per cent, compared with 5.89 per cent for the prior corresponding period.

Outlook

While disappointed by the lack of acquisitions from Bunnings Group Limited during the half-year, the Trust will continue to actively pursue further acquisitions from both Bannings Group Limited and etsewhere.

Internet site

The Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust internet site, www.bunningspropertytrust.com.au is a useful source of information for unitholders. It includes details of the Trust's property portfolio, current activities and future prospects.

The site provides access to annual and half-year reports and also contains releases made to the Australian Stock Exchange covering matters of relevance to investors.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

to view of the gearing level of the Trust the directors have resolved to keep the Distribution Reinvestment Plan suspended until further notice.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust.

For Bunnings Property Management Limited.
