GPT ANNOUNCES APPROVAL OF INTERNALISATION PROPOSAL 2 June 2005

A meeting of GPT unitholders was held today at 11am to consider and, if thought fit, to pass resolutions to replace the responsible entity of GPT and thereby to internalise management.

Votes cast at the meeting represented approximately 78% of all issued units, an extraordinary investor turnout. The results of the GPT unitholder meeting are set out on the following page. All resolutions were passed by the requisite majorities.

Accordingly, the current responsible entity of GPT, GPT Management Limited, will be replaced with Australian Diversified Funds Management Limited (to become GPT RE Limited). The transition to the new GPT responsible entity and internalisation of management will therefore begin immediately and GPT will now move to a stapled security structure. Further details in relation will be released shortly.

Chairman of GPT, Peter Joseph observed, "The independent directors of GPT are pleased at the support of unitholders for the internalisation. GPT's future will be one of growth and stable independence. The Board and management all look forward to this exciting new era for GPT and to continuing to work in the interests of GPT investors."
