Chairman's Address

Annual General Meeting – 14 November 2007

It has been a big year for Peet Limited and I am very pleased to say that the company has

Our shareholders are key drivers in every decision we make, and I trust all our shareholders are satisfied with our performance, and particularly the manner in which we have positioned

Today is a time to reflect as well as project.

ourselves to continue moving forward.

performed extremely well across a number of areas.

The past year has been an eventful one, marked by a variety of milestones and significant events. Through another period of considerable growth, Peet has maintained its commitment to our core values and our fundamental driver – sharing prosperity through property with our shareholders and investors.

We have recorded another strong performance this past year even in the mixed environment presented by the property markets around Australia.

At Peet, we take a very responsible "glass half full" approach. Flatter markets, such as New South Wales, for example have presented acquisition opportunities during the year, as has Queensland where population growth and regional development offer good potential growth in our opinion.

The strength of our land bank has been fundamental to our performance in every market we operate in.

During the year we acquired some 8,200 lots across the country. The net increase of around 6,200 lots, after taking into account sales during the year, positions us well to take advantage of market conditions around the country in the years ahead, particularly in Victoria and Queensland at present. The parcels of land we've acquired are strategically located, generally in growth corridors, close to planned or existing infrastructure – and all with good potential.

We have strong exposure to the improving east coast property market and our growing land bank presents significant potential opportunities for other business areas including Peet Living, Peet Senior Living and Peet Commercial – good examples of Peet responding to changing community requirements and demands.

PROFITS AND DIVIDENDS

Ladies and gentlemen, highlights of our record performance for the year ended 30 June 2007 include a net profit after tax of $45.5 million – up 23.6 per cent on 2005/06.

That's our fourth consecutive report of NPAT growth since listing.

Our gross revenue increased by 13.6 per cent to just over $129 million and earnings per share increased 16.3 per cent to 21.4 cents per share.

And our success has, of course, been passed onto all our investors.

Total dividend payments for the year – with the final dividend payment made last month – were $43.2 million plus fully franked tax credits.

That represents an increase of 14.7 per cent in the dividend per share to 19.5 cents per share fully franked – or 27.9 cents per share before tax.

Other major features of Peet's pleasing performance this year were sales of more than 2,000 lots from syndicated, joint venture and owned projects grossing in excess of $421 million in sales revenue. And at the end of the year the Company had in excess of 1,100 lots across all projects that had sold but were yet to settle for a value of $240 million.

Peet Limited also successfully completed three syndications, totalling $57 million. We continue to be a national leader in retail land syndication and to broaden opportunities for investment via that mechanism.

In less than two years, Peet's land bank has grown in estimated on-completion value from $3.79 billion to its 30 June '07 level of some 33,800 lots with an estimated on-completion value in excess of $6 billion (if sold at today's prices).

Our land bank continues to be the third largest of all ASX-listed property companies.

At year-end, Peet had more than 16,350 syndicated or joint venture lots under management and more than 17,400 lots on our own balance sheet.

They are very good numbers and the geographic spread of our land bank confirms Peet Limited as a truly national property group with increasing opportunities to expand our asset management and funds management services.

Also underlying our truly national position and sphere of influence is the fact that our operations in Victoria and Queensland have derived just over half our earnings before tax.

INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

Another feature and highlight of the year was the successful $82 million capital raising, via an underwritten institutional placement completed late last year. This was coupled with a Share Purchase Plan for existing investors, which raised another $1.95 million, enabling the Company to accelerate growth across its business divisions.

The capital raising was a very pleasing demonstration of the regard and very practical support Peet has from a wide range of investors, including some of Australia's major institutions.

PROFIT GUIDANCE

It is envisaged that our core operations of property asset management and property funds management will continue to drive a solid performance in 2007/08.

You will appreciate that percentage growth targets year on year present a significant challenge for any business.

Nonetheless, assuming market conditions continue to remain favourable on the east coast and remain stable in Western Australia, we continue to target earnings growth of 10 per cent for the coming year.

Our land bank growth, our project production pipeline and the performance and potential of our Peet Living, Peet Senior Living and Peet Commercial business divisions underpin our confidence in the future of the Company.

SHARE PRICE AND MARKET CAPITALISATION

As I'm sure you've all noted, Peet's share price is today sitting around the $3.90 mark and our current market capitalisation is around $860 million.

Your Directors continue to manage the Company's business for low risk, with a level of debt gearing that has risen during the year, but which remains within our target range of 30% to 40% of total tangible assets adjusted for market value.

EXPANDED OPERATIONS

Last year we reported the successful expansion of Peet's business operations – and this year is no different.

Peet Living

The demand for the Peet Living product - boutique, low-rise apartments, townhouses and gated villa complexes – was evidenced by the demand for its first two developments released during the 2007 financial year.

Both of them – Grand 56 and Sixteen Hammersmith in Joondalup – sold off the plan, the first in just a single day.

And there are more Peet Living developments planned for Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland in the year ahead.

Peet Senior Living

There are also plans for our next Peet Senior Living developments in Queensland and Victoria after an encouraging response to Peet's first over 55s development at the award winning Lakelands Estate in Mandurah.

The Peet Senior Living product was branded "Lattitude" during the year – that's Lattitude with a double "T" … capturing a sense of freedom and attitude most over 55s will identify with!

Peet Commercial

Peet Commercial has also had a very successful year with approval for a shopping centre development it will manage on behalf of the Yatala Unit Trust, for which syndicate we have developed the very successful Carramar Golf Course estate in Perth's northern suburbs.

And, once again, there are more commercial developments in the pipeline across Australia, and new opportunities emerging.

Peet Income Property Fund

The Peet Income Property Fund holds an impressive portfolio of commercial and industrial properties including two new properties purchased during the last financial year, and a third – our first in Victoria – settling just a few months ago.

The Fund achieved a total return of more than 37% for the 2007 financial year on the back of property values increasing by 25 per cent and the distributions paid during the year.

MANAGEMENT

Ladies and gentlemen, you have placed your faith in us, and our plans, for a diverse business model that would spread our operations right around the country.

One of the most satisfying pieces of feedback we've had from investors this year was a comment that "Peet does what it says it's going to do".

As a Board, we don't make promises we don't believe we can keep – and we rely on our skilled and dedicated management team to deliver on the promises and commitments we make.

Warwick Hemsley has retired and the responsibility of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer has passed onto the very capable Brendan Gore. We are pleased to say that Warwick remains on the Board and I have already paid recognition to his significant contributions to the success of Peet in our Annual Report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

And that provides an appropriate segue into the issue of corporate governance.

The business pages of any metropolitan newspaper regularly remind us of how important it is for the Board of any company to take the matter of corporate governance very seriously indeed.

Peet Limited has always maintained high corporate standards and you don't survive and prosper for more than 110 years if you don't.

And I assure you that your Board is totally committed to continuing the highest standards of corporate ethics, management, and accountability to our shareholders and investors.

REMUNERATION

I hope everyone here today and all our shareholders and investors recognise Peet's unwavering commitment to delivering the best possible results for them.

With the current nationwide skills shortage impacting virtually every industry, our commitment to providing employees with a proven, profitable, capital efficient business platform with exciting opportunities for growth, career development and wealth, is also critically important.

Our employees – new and old – know that they are part of a company with good governance and one that demands and promotes ethical behaviour, equal opportunity policies and practices, and the ongoing respect and trust of the community and clients.

In a very difficult market, Peet Limited continues to attract talented people to the company and just earlier this month, announced the appointment of a new Chief Operating Officer. Darren Cooper will take up his position early in the New Year and, we are looking forward to welcoming Darren to the team. He has proven abilities and we expect him to vigorously drive the Company's developments.

As I outlined to you last year, the Company's executive reward framework aims to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. This approach to remuneration is designed to deliver mutual benefits to shareholders, investors, the company and its employees. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement and strategic objectives and creation of value for shareholders.

As part of today's business you will be asked to adopt the remuneration report set out in the Annual Report and approve certain aspects of Brendan Gore's remuneration package. While the vote on the remuneration report is advisory only and does not bind the directors of the Company, I would like to assure the meeting that our remuneration policies and packages are highly appropriate, taking into account the interests of employees and employer.

THE PEET TEAM

We are very fortunate at Peet Limited to have an outstanding team of management and staff members.

I congratulate them all for another year of success that can only result from very hard work, talent and commitment to the company and its shareholders and investors.

During the year, our reputation has grown enormously and our new corporate identity and communications efforts have been recognised by state and national awards.

Across all our estates and developments – including our two joint ventures with the Western Australian State Government – we continue to apply our expertise and commitment to excellence including in planning and design, sustainability and community building.

And we continue to address the issue of affordability through the range of land on offer and new product choices from our Peet Living and Peet Senior Living divisions.

I would also like to thank my fellow Board members for their efforts and diligence throughout the year – namely Non-executive directors Stephen Higgs and Graeme Sinclair; Warwick Hemsley as CEO and Managing Director during the year and now a Non-executive director; and Executive director Anthony Lennon, who is responsible for National Business Development.

And I now add to that group, Brendan Gore, who has played an even more pivotal role since taking the position of CEO and Managing Director. He has worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing success for Peet Limited.

I believe every shareholder should be immensely proud of its representatives – their calibre and commitment.

I also wish to again note the highly valued contributions of key Board support officers, Company Secretary Dom Scafetta, and Acting Chief Financial Officer Scott Grant, and their assistants. By the way, I mention that Dom is now in his tenth year with the Company and Scott is in his eighth year.

On behalf of the Board and our shareholders, a very warm and sincere thank you to the whole Peet team for the results they have achieved.

Through their efforts we have delivered another year of very satisfying results which have exceeded guidance in terms of profits and dividends.

One final thank you.

And that's to you our investors and shareholders for your ongoing faith and support of Peet and our team.

I look forward to being with you again this time next year and presenting another good report on Peet Limited and its performance.

I now pass you onto our Managing Director, Mr Brendan Gore, to deliver his presentation.
