QUARTERLY UPDATE - March 2007

Woltong Contralis planned to de expanded to ALINETIA
Retail Development Wollongong Central
Masterplanning is advanced to reposition Wotlongong Central (which is now owned by the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund) as the dominant regional centre in the Illawarra, which involves expanding the Centre from approximately 39,000 sqm to 60,000 sqm. This scheme includes expanding the Centre across Keira Street, the main
access road through the Wellongong CBD. Discussions with the appropriate planning authorities are continuing and commencement of this project, which will be the first major development within the Shopping Centre Fund, is targeted for late 2007.
Rouse Hill
The \$470 million Rouse Hill Town Centre is one of the fast major greenfield regional retail opportunities within the Sydney metropolitan area, comprising 65,000 sqm of retail space. Stage one is programmed for completion in late 2007 and the remainder of the project is due to open early in 2008. All majors' deals including Woolworths, Coles, Target, Big W and Reading Cinemas have been secured and at March 2007. 70% of specialty tenancies had been secured.
GPT, in conjunction with Lend Lease, is also developing the residential component of this major mixed use site, the New Rouse Hill which involves the development of up to 1.800 residential lots. Construction on the Information and Display Centre at the site has commenced in line with a target for completion in conjunction with the sales launch in September this year. Sales will initially focus on the town centre apartments (due to settle from the first half of 2008). and the southern residential precinct, which includes up to 340 dwellings which will be ready for registration and titling in November 2007.
Charlestown Square
Development Applications have been lodged for a major expansion of Chartestown Square, which involves expanding the Centre from approximately 47,000 sqm to 89,000 sqm. This scheme includes the expansion of the Centre onto the existing Chartestown Bowling Club site and a number of land parcels owned by Lake Macquarie Council. Appropriate approvals are being targeted to allow commencement of the development in the second half of 2007.
Office Portfolio
GPT's office investment of approximately \$2.7 billion consists of \$1.7 bittion in assets held on the Group's balance sheet and an investment of \$990 million in the GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF), which is managed by GPT.
Following leasing of over 108,500 sqm in 2006 across the GPT managed Portfolio, 15,800 sqm was leased and terms agreed over a further 6,700 sqm in the three months to 31 March 2007. As a result, committed space across the Portfolio has remained stable (at 98.1%) and greater than the national average of 96.0% at 31 March 2007.
The major office markets - Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - continue to show variability in demand. Brisbane continues to be strong with very limited vacancy resulting in strong rental growth. Melbourne's demand remains robust, however continuing supply is keeping the vacancy rate around 8%. Demand in Sydney is improving and, with limited supply, the vacancy rate is declining, leading to emerging rental growth. The Sydney market has tightened for space as most of the contiguous space in the CBD has now been leased, however there remain a number of options for smaller enquiries. Continued solid economic and white collar employment growth over the medium term for all markets is providing favourable conditions for this Portfolio.

Leasing Update
Leasing results in the quarter have maintained the GPT managed Portfolio's solid position as GPT's office team has continued to focus on reducing the limited vacant space across the Portfolio and maintaining a long lease expiry, providing long-term secure returns.
At the end of March, the weighted average lease term to expiry across the GPT managed Portfolio was 5.8 years.

Developments
Good progress is being made on the 21,700 som campusstyle office building at 818 Bourke Street, which is now on track for completion in December 2007, three months ahead of program. There is a solid level of interest in the remaining office space and the retail tenancies. GPT will spend approximately \$100 million developing the 6-level building which is forecast to deliver a yield on cost of 7.5%.
Construction commenced at GPT's major waterfront development at Darting Island with a ground breaking ceremony on 3 April 2007. GPT, in association with Cittal Property Group, will develop the new building which will comprise approximately 18,000 sqm over seven levels and will target a 6 Star Green Star rating, which is at the leading edge of sustainable development. The space is currently being marketed to prospective tenants.
In the GPT managed GWOF Portfolio, the new waterfront restaurants at the Riverside Centre in Brisbane are forecast to open in the third quarter of 2007. A revised Development Application has been prepared for a single campus style office tower of up to 70,000 sqm at the Brisbane Transit Centre, which has been rebranded as the Q Centre, and GPT has now been appointed Development Manager for this site by GWOF and the joint owner, Australian Prime Property Fund.
77 Eagle Street
GPT has now issued notices to vacate to the tenants occupying the existing Indigo House and is close to lodging a Development Application with Brisbane City Council for a major redevelopment of this prime site in Brisbane's commercial 'Golden Triangle' precinct. The DA proposes the development of a Premium Grade 60,000 sqm office tower over 44-levels, designed to take advantage of the outstanding lecation and Brisbane River views.

Artist's impression of 77 Eagle Street, Brisbane
The new building will offer tenants large unrestricted campus style floor plates of over 1,400 sqm, premium grade. services, and parking for over 120 cars, and is targeting a 6 Star Green Star rating. Tenants will also have access to a range of services, including ground floor retail space, a proposed business centre, and a child care centre and the existing extensive amenities offered by the GWOF owned Riverside Centre, including waterfront dining.
Sustainability
From January 2007 20 GWh per annum of renewable GreenPower, equating to 25% of energy demand, was purchased for 92% of the GPT managed Portfolio. The energy is provided from renewable energy projects such as wind and biomass in NSW, VIC, and SA. This 25% is equivalent to abating 23,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum, which is equivalent to taking more than 5,300 cars off the road, and has been achieved with a cost-neutral impact on the Portfolio.
Hotel/Tourism Portfolio
After relatively flat inbound visitation to Australia in 2006. the first quarter of 2007 has experienced improved inbound demand with visitation up 4.8%, driven by very strong growth from China and solid European demand.
Domestic teisure demand has been steady although within a competitive environment. The strong growth in outbound Australian travel experienced post 2003 now appears to have slowed and returned to a more normal medium term trend. Corporate and meeting demand has remained strong across the city markets.

Voyages Heron Island, Queensland
Portfolio Performance
The Portfolio has performed well in the first quarter, with revenue up 3.7%, as a result of strong city hotel performance. and increased occupancy within the Lodges resorts. Offsetting this was a flat first quarter at Ayers Rock Resort.

Ayers Rock Resort
Whilst occupancy was stable at 60%, a fall in the Resort's important Japanese market (a consistent trend across most Australian hotel markets) has constrained demand growth in the first quarter. Room rates were lower due to the introduction of new lower seasonal room rates in 2007. which were not on offer in 2006, resulting in revenue being down 2.6% on 2006. Room rates are expected to move back in line with 2006 as the year progresses.

CSR Development Site, Erskine Park
Binding agreements were executed for the acquisition of a 376,000 som industrial development site at Erskine Park and settlement is expected to complete in March 2008. The acquisition is conditional on CSR obtaining satisfactory

authority approvals and completing servicing and subdivision works.

Kings Park, NSW
Development of a 10,000 sqm warehouse extension for Steinhoff Asia Pacific (owners of Freedom Group) is on target for practical completion in mid 2007. The development will cost approximately \$10 million (including land) and will generate an 8% yield on cost.
US Seniors Housing Portfolio
In December 2006, GPT entered the US Seniors Housing market with the acquisition of a 95% interest in a portfolio of seniors housing assets and an interest in the manager of the Portfolio, Benchmark Assisted Living (BAL). Annuat rent reviews in January were in line with expectations and at 31 March 2007 the 19 GPT owned communities had an average occupancy of 92%.
Kathryn A. Sweeney has now been appointed as Managing Director, US Seniors Housing, Based in the US, Kathy will head asset management for the US Seniors Housing Pertfolio.

We continue to look for further investment opportunities in the US Seniors Housing Sector and remain confident of the ability to expand in this sector.

Wholesale Funds Management
The growth of the Group's whotesale funds management platform to meet the increasing demand from institutional investors for direct property exposure to quality real estate assets represents an important part of GPT's growth strategy, and through the two funds already established, the Group now has over \$4.3 billion in assets under management.
Building on the success of the Group's first wholesale fund, the GPT Wholesale Office Fund, which was launched in July 2006, GPT successfully launched the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund in late March. The Shopping Centre Fund owns a \$1.9 billion pertfolio of 8 quality Australian retail assets in New South Wales and Victoria and will be a major Australian retail investment partner for GPT, with GPT holding a 40% interest in the portfolio through its stake in the Fund.

The Shopping Centre Fund initially has no gearing and therefore has significant capacity for further investment. In addition the Fund has substantial development potential, including development projects identified across the existing assets.
Matthew Faddy has been appointed Fund Manager, and brings to the role significant experience in Australian retail, including several years as the Chief Operating Officer of GPT's retail business. Matthew will work closely with Nicholas Harris (GPT's Head of Wholesale) and the Group's retail team in delivering performance for the Fund.
