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.
