CourierPost’s distribution centre at Highbrook Business Park, East Tamaki

A high-quality portfolio focused on urban logistics, is proving

to be a successful strategy for today’s changing world.

Successfully Adapting

To The New Normal

COVID-19 and the Alert Level

restrictions have highlighted the

important role a secure and efficient

supply chain plays in the orderly

functioning of a modern economy.

Warehouse and distribution facilities are a key

link in the supply chain providing companies with

the physical infrastructure to manage inventory.

Efficient freight networks link these businesses

with suppliers, customers and end consumers.

Consumers have responded to the risks of

COVID-19 by embracing the convenience and

safety of online sales and contactless delivery.

Reliance on e-commerce has grown accordingly

with a 30%

1

increase in online spending over the

6  months to 30 June 2020, compared to the same

period last year.

During Alert Levels 3 and 4, through late March and

mid-May 2020, the average weekly online spend in

the Food, Groceries and Liquor category was more

than 100%

1

higher than 12 months earlier.

The trend has been sustained beyond the initial

lockdown period and it highlights a continuing

shift in consumer behaviour with online sales now

making up almost 12%

1

of all retail sales in New

Zealand, for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

John Dakin, Chief Executive Officer said “With a

high-quality portfolio focused on urban logistics,

Goodman Property Trust is uniquely placed to

benefit from the growing demand for distribution

facilities close to consumers. The pandemic is

accelerating this trend with businesses responding

to the challenges and opportunities of a growing

online marketplace.”

John Dakin, said, “Maintaining a development

capability is essential if we are to meet the future

supply chain requirements of our customers. We’re

being disciplined with our investment decisions,

concentrating on infill sites and other opportunities

that provide the connectivity with major freight and

transport infrastructure that fulfilment and logistics

businesses demand.”

Sourced from New Zealand Post eCommerce Spotlight

Existing customers within the portfolio, such

as NZ  Post, are leasing additional space to

accommodate rapid business growth generated

by e-commerce.

Recent research from CBRE indicates that more

than 60% of logistics and distribution businesses

surveyed are considering expanding their property

requirements within the next two years.

John Dakin said “These structural trends are

positive for GMT, supporting high occupancy levels

and strong leasing results. It is also being reflected

in a renewed level of development enquiry.”

The Trust currently has six development projects

underway across Auckland, with two larger

build-to-lease projects ready to commence.

The eight projects have a combined total project

cost of $134.1 million and include expansions for

OfficeMax at Highbrook Business Park in East

Tamaki and Ingram Micro at M20 Business Park

in Wiri.

John Dakin, said, “Urban logistics is an integral part

of the modern supply chain and our development

pipeline continues to provide customers with

high-quality business premises close to major

transport networks in New Zealand’s largest

consumer market.”

The development programme continued

through Auckland’s Alert Level 3 restrictions in

August 2020. The six projects under construction

remain on schedule, with staggered completion

dates between now and February 2021.

With few greenfield sites remaining in the portfolio,

and limited land opportunities in Auckland, the

investment focus has been extended to include

assets that offer redevelopment potential.

Changing consumer

behaviour is driving

demand for logistics

and warehouse space.

Portfolio ValueOccupancyNew Leasing

Invested exclusively in the Auckland

industrial market, the portfolio

includes 11 properties in the key

industrial precincts of East Tamaki,

Mangere, Mt Roskill, Mt Wellington,

Otahuhu, Penrose and Wiri.

Low vacancy rates and limited new

supply have created a positive market

dynamic that is being reflected in

GMT’s record high occupancy rate.

More than 5% of the portfolio has

been leased on new or revised terms

since 1 April 2020. The new leasing

has helped maintain the weighted

average lease term at more than

five years.

Solar Energy Pilot

OfficeMax is an existing customer at Highbrook that is expanding its premises.

As part of the 7,350 sqm warehouse extension, the office product and business

consumable reseller is incorporating an 880 panel, solar array.

The northern orientation and extensive roof area

make the building ideal for solar technology and it is

expected that that the new system will provide more

than 20% of the customer’s electricity.

With over 400,000 kWh of capacity the system is

expected to generate enough electricity to power

57 New Zealand homes for a year. Using solar

as an energy source will also offset 39 tonnes of

greenhouse gas emissions, annually.

John Dakin said, “Sustainability is an increasing

area of focus for all our stakeholders and there are

various initiatives underway across the business

that will enhance our corporate performance and

reduce our environmental impact.”

Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Goodman has been a regular

contributor to the Carbon Disclosure

Project since 2009.

The global reporting initiative encourages

companies, cities, and states to monitor

greenhouse gas emissions and implement

strategies to minimise climate change impacts.

With a continued reduction in our carbon

emissions and now with independent audit

assurance, we are expecting to improve on

last year’s rating of B minus.

Goodman’s greenhouse gas emissions for FY20,

measured in tonnes of carbon, are detailed in the

table below.

Scope 1 5 9 6 . 2 5

Scope 2 17 3 . 0 5

Scope 3 1 0 8 . 0 1

Total inventory: 8 7 7. 3 1

The inventory includes the investment and

operational activities of Goodman in New Zealand

comprehensive assessment that includes:

+ Refrigerants

+ Electricity

+ Petrol and diesel for vehicles and diesel fuel

for fire pumps

+ Air travel, domestic and international

+ Other travel and freight

+ Solid waste

The emissions inventory forms part of the

Goodman’s commitment to monitoring and

managing its greenhouse gas emissions. To help

mitigate the impact of climate change the following

targets have been adopted:

1. 100% renewable energy use by 2025

2. Carbon neutral operations by 2025.

Supporting

Our Community

The Goodman Foundation is an

initiative of the Manager that supports

the work of local community groups.

The aim is to help the vulnerable

and improve social outcomes in the

locations where Goodman invests.

KiwiHarvest is the largest of these local

partnerships. The food rescue organisation

operates a distribution facility from Highbrook

Business Park, collecting and redistributing

perishable food that would otherwise be

consigned to landfill.

Last year the organisation rescued and redirected

over 1,250 tonnes of food from businesses across

the country. Equivalent to 3.6 million meals,

it included surplus produce, protein, mislabelled

goods and grocery items approaching expiry.

Demand from social agencies for food parcels has

escalated rapidly as a result of COVID-19 with the volume

of food being collected and distributed by KiwiHarvest

more than doubling during lockdown. To help meet the

growing need and address the waste that occurs in food

production and distribution, the Goodman Foundation

have helped facilitate the establishment of a new national

food rescue network.

With government support, the New Zealand

Food Network is now operating from a new

1,000 sqm facility at Highbrook, next to

KiwiHarvest on Underwood Street. Having

the two organisations side by side, will

create synergies and efficiencies that will

help address the issue of food poverty not

only in Auckland, but across the country.
