GROUP PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIC FOCUS

STRATEGIC FOCUS ON LEVERAGING EXISTING ASSETS SUPPLEMENTED BY SELECTIVE ACQUISITIONS

Continue to leverage large scale national portfolio to further improve returns

  • Accelerate production to meet current demand and increase operating cash flows
  • Sales momentum continuing into FY22
  • Continue to focus on improving project returns and operating margins through efficient master planning, affordable product development, cost reduction initiatives and efficient allocation of capital
  • Continue to balance the portfolio between land and built form projects and increase weighting to east coast markets
  • Remain focussed on the right product in the right markets

Continue to assess capital recycling opportunities

  • Assess further divestment opportunities to maximise market cycles to unlock value where appropriate
  • Continue to develop FM/JV initiatives with existing and new capital partners
  • Evaluate "super lot" opportunities within portfolio

Consider selective acquisitions to restock pipeline when appropriate

GROUP OUTLOOK

FOCUSED ON POSITIONING THE GROUP FOR FURTHER GROWTH THROUGH A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO PROJECT DELIVERY AND IDENTIFYING GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Residential markets are expected to remain positive over the medium term supported by low interest rates, accommodative credit conditions and an improving employment outlook

Continuing residential sales momentum, a significant development pipeline and a strengthening balance sheet, positions the Group well for future growth

The Group continues to monitor, assess and manage the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 including various government imposed lockdowns and restrictions. These impacts may contribute to:

  • Development program timeframes being extended
  • Disruption to supply chains
  • Increased development and labour costs due to border restrictions

FY22 is expected to be a year focused on the delivery of a significant number of land lots and townhouses sold during FY21 along with the commencement of up to six new projects

The Group is well-positioned to target growth on FY21 earnings, subject to market conditions and the timing of settlements
