Retail Property Market Review
Retail trade remains a key economic driver with continued strong growth across the first half of 2004. Tax cuts, government handouts, delayed interest rate hikes, record low unemployment and rising real wages have all buoyed consumer confidence. However, the reedium term outlook for retail trade is softer, Access Economics are forecasting a moderation in sales growth as the positive influences slowly unwind throughout the economic cycle.
Supply remains predominantly driven by new bulky good formats in the eastern states, while development activity of traditional recional space is mostly limited to expansion or refurbishment works. Around 700,000 sam of additional space is to be completed across 20041. Low levels of vacancy and steady tenant demand should accommodate new supply allowing a continuation of moderate rental growth in the short to medium term.
The investment market will remain competitive for regional retail assets, with limited opportunities available due to high concentration of ownership. Consequently, vields will remain firm. Favourable economic conditions and investment fundamentals. provide a positive outlook for the retail property sector.

- ■The corriction of the second of the National Buildings at Docklands. Melbourne which is fully leased to National Australia Bank until 2016.
- 图 Completion of refurbishment works at Australia Square and progress on works at Melbourne Central where an extension of the office lobby. at a cost of \$5.5 million, is due for completion in August 2004.
Office Property Market Review

Industrial/Business Park Property Market Review
Tenant demand for industrial property has gained momentum over the first half of 2004, with greater export activity generated by a stronger international economy and a robust domestic economy increasing demand for both warehousing and manufacturing facilities. Rising enquiry levels suggest continued leasing activity across 2004. Heightened development activity is also evident, led by pre-commitments.
Across 2004 rental growth is expected with future growth likely to be stronger in areas with competition from alternative uses and which are in close proximity to infrastructure developments but will be contained by supply opportunities.
