Ingenia acquires NSW coastal mixed use park

Highlights

  • ! Immediately accretive acquisition of South West Rocks Tourist Park, a premium mixed use park within the Group’s mid north coast cluster

  • ! All approvals in place for addition of 52 new homes in permanent home precinct

  • ! Well established tourism offer with potential to improve returns through reconfiguration and targeted reinvestment

Ingenia Communities Group (ASX: INA) today announced that the Group has agreed to acquire South West Rocks Tourist Park. Located on 9.5 hectares of waterfront land within Ingenia’s mid north coast cluster, the high quality mixed use community is in a prime coastal location.

Ingenia is acquiring the leasehold Park for $8.5 million, via an off-market transaction on an initial yield of over 8%. The acquisition is immediately accretive and offers the opportunity to enhance tourism yields as well as deliver new permanent homes in the short-term, further enhancing returns.

Located in a popular tourist destination on the Mid North Coast of NSW, the Park currently includes 54 permanent homes, 126 short term sites and 42 camp sites.

With approvals in place for additional homes and the ability to enhance the tourism offer, there are significant opportunities to improve returns.

Ingenia plans to add 52 new homes, which will generate development profits, providing incremental rental as new homes are sold. In addition, Ingenia will reconfigure the tourism offer to convert lower yielding camp sites to ensuite caravan sites or cabin sites and will invest selectively to improve the accommodation and facilities as part of a repositioning of the Park.

Simon Owen, CEO of Ingenia Communities, said the acquisition represented a high quality mixed use asset in a market which the Group knows well.

“This acquisition allows us to capitalise on our presence in a key market, complementing prime coastal acquisitions including White Albatross and BIG4 Solders Point.”

“The region is very attractive due to its ageing population and firm median house prices. With 54 homes already established and approvals in place which will allow us develop a further 52 homes we are excited about the opportunity to quickly expand the existing community and grow the stable rent based cashflows.”

“In addition the region generates strong tourism return visitation that underpins existing cashflows from short-term accommodation. We see opportunities to improve returns through reconfiguring and repositioning the tourism offer and leveraging our growing Active Holiday Parks brand and marketing platform.”

“South West Rocks Tourist Park provides Ingenia with high quality and diverse cashflows and significant opportunities for growth from a well located mixed use community which grows our presence in an established cluster,” Mr Owen said.
