MARKET RELEASE
16 February 2022
Acquisition of multi-stage development site in South West Sydney
Vital Healthcare Property Trust (Vital) has acquired
1
~27,840 square metres of leasehold
land
2
in Campbelltown, Western Sydney for A$76.6m
3
including development of a
GenesisCare Cancer Centre.
The acquisition enables Vital to develop, over time, a leading healthcare precinct
exceeding 32,000 square metres of gross floor area in one of Australia's fastest growing
population zones in partnership with the landowner, Campbelltown City Council.
Development is expected to occur in the following three stages:
1. ~A$52 million
4
, four-storey cancer centre of excellence on a 4,473 square metre
site. GenesisCare has pre-committed to lease the 2,713 square metre building plus
65 car spaces for an initial term of 15 years providing a net yield on costs of ~4.0%
5
with annual fixed increases. GenesisCare is one of the leading providers of
integrated cancer care globally with 350 clinics across the US, UK, Australia and
Spain. The low site coverage allows for future expansion over time. Development is
expected to take 16 months from early 2022.
2. ~10,000 square metres of land for development of a proposed day surgery and
mental health facility. Vital's manager, NorthWest Healthcare Properties Limited, is
in advanced discussions with one of Australia's largest hospital operators in relation
to this potential development. Final costs, timing of spending and nature of
development are dependent on finalising agreements with a suitable tenant or
tenants.
3. ~13,000 square metres of land for future healthcare and ancillary development
which may include education and research related uses.
1
The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent including finalisation of development
conditions and Council approval of the transfer of the leasehold interest to Vital.
2
Ground lease term is 85 years, including options.
3
Including payment for development rights, stage 1 development fund-through and tenant incentive but excluding
transaction costs.

Fund Manager, Aaron Hockly said:
“A key focus for Vital is to acquire strategically located sites servicing a large, growing
population, so the opportunity to secure a site in the heart of Campbelltown, one of the
fastest growing cities in Australia, was a rare and valuable one.
We are pleased to announce the commencement of development of the Cancer
Centre of Excellence, which is the second in Vital's portfolio following our acquisition of
The Tennyson Centre in Adelaide in late 2021. The Campbelltown site is located 50km
south-west of the Sydney CBD and 20km south-west of Liverpool, where there is an
underservicing of private healthcare facilities. We are thrilled to expand our long-held
partnership with GenesisCare, who we will work with to deliver a market-leading cancer
centre and service the demand for cancer services in the South West Sydney growth
corridor.
In the longer term, we look forward to developing plans for a state-of-the-art healthcare
precinct at this site, bringing together the best healthcare providers and complementary
health services to improve and expand the delivery of health services to South West
Sydney."
GenesisCare, the largest private provider of integrated cancer care in Australia, is
currently implementing a national integrated cancer care programme to fix disrupted
care pathways caused by COVID-19. GenesisCare recently opened three new world-class
integrated cancer centres in northern Sydney, Maitland and Perth and acquired the
largest medical oncology provider in South Australia, Adelaide Oncology and
Haematology. In the next two years GenesisCare will open an additional six new centres,
three of which are in Sydney: Campbelltown, Frenchs Forest and Norwest.
General Manager for Genesis Care NSW, Fergus Rourke, said:
“We are excited to be extending our long-standing partnership with Vital Healthcare
Property Trust to deliver this critical service to patients from across South West Sydney
and the Southern Highlands.
South West Sydney is one of the fastest growing corridors in NSW and it is absolutely
critical that we invest in the right healthcare infrastructure to ensure the needs of cancer
patients are met now and in the future.
Our integrated cancer centre and research hub will provide patients access to radiation
oncology, medical oncology, allied health and wellness services, all in one convenient
location, as well as diagnostic imaging and pathology operated by trusted partners.
The centre will also have a strong focus on clinical trials and will provide patients access
to the latest state-of-the-art equipment and treatment advances."
The acquisition is consistent with Vital’s precinct and development strategies particularly
as a means to increase Vital's exposure to key population growth areas such as Sydney.
The acquisition, tenant incentive and fund-through development payments totalling
A$76.6m are expected to increase Vital's balance sheet gearing by ~1.7% on a stand-
alone basis over the stage 1 development period. Vital has previously announced ~$140m
of property valuation increases which are expected to be recorded as part of Vital's
VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST vhpt.co.nz
Managed by NorthWest Healthcare
Properties Management Limited
interim results (due to be released on 24 February 2022). Property revaluations are
expected to reduce balance sheet gearing by ~1.8% on a stand-alone basis, with NTA per
unit expected to be ~$3.12 (subject to audit confirmation).
An investor presentation including artists' impressions of built form is being released
contemporaneously with this announcement.
