amenity retail and commercial services. With an average age
of around eight years, all Highbrook buildings share a
consistent design theme that incorporates sustainable design
elements – providing modern, efficient, and flexible
workplaces.
Green Star ratings are being targeted for the latest
development projects, with the just completed 3,317 sqm
facility for the New Zealand Blood Service achieving a
6 Green Star Design Rating
1
. The multi-warehouse Tāwharau
Lane development has also achieved the design benchmark.
Green Star is an independent rating system that assesses
the sustainability features and resource efficiency of
non-residential buildings.
James Spence said, “With a collection of industry awards
already to its name, Highbrook continues to lead the local
market with innovative and sustainable property solutions.
A 6 Green Star Design Rating represents world leadership,
and we’re extremely proud that these new projects are the
first New Zealand industrial developments to achieve
the standard.”
Completion of the remaining two active projects over the
next six months will mark the end of the planned development
programme at the estate.
James Spence said, “Making up over 50% of the portfolio and
with a current value of around $2.4 billion, Highbrook Business
Park is a major driver of the Trust’s operating performance.
With facilities that attract premium market rents and deliver
superior capital returns it has been an exceptional investment
for our Unitholders.”
The integrated design of the masterplan has helped foster
a close-knit business community and activated the
surrounding reserves and public spaces for recreational use.
James Spence said, “Highbrook Business Park is an
important asset for all of Auckland, providing warehouse and
distribution infrastructure that allows supply chains to operate
efficiently. The development of the estate has also improved
transport links to the east of the city and created amenity
benefits that the whole community can share.”
The rapid progress of the last three
development projects at Highbrook signals the
approaching completion of the award-winning
estate in Auckland’s East Tāmaki.
Partnering with the Fisher family in the initial stages,
Goodman have overseen the development of the
109-hectare property since 2004.
James Spence, Goodman NZ CEO said, “The scale of
the site and its location overlooking the Tāmaki River has
provided a unique opportunity to shape Auckland’s built
environment, with the creation of a world-class business
park.”
Offering extensive water and city views and surrounded by
40 hectares of parkland and esplanade reserves, the natural
features of the former Ra Ora horse stud have supported the
realisation of this vision.
Major infrastructure projects including a road bridge, a new
motorway interchange and a four-lane arterial road have
facilitated the development, linking the peninsula with
Auckland’s motorway system and freight transport networks.
James Spence said, “Around 500,000 sqm of high-quality
space has been developed at Highbrook. Accommodating
more than 130 customers, it is New Zealand’s largest
business park. These companies employ more than 5,500
people making the estate a significant area of employment
for East Tāmaki.”
The master-planned estate features over 90 prime
warehouse and logistics facilities. These facilities are
complemented by a town centre precinct, that provides

Climate changes due to global warming
are contributing to the increased
frequency and severity of extreme
weather events.
The devastating floods associated with the storm
and ex-tropical cyclones of January and February
2023 have highlighted the costly impacts of more
damaging weather patterns.
James Spence said, “The floods have reinforced
the need for collective action on climate change.
As a business we are committed to reducing our
environmental impact. We adopted emission
reduction targets in 2021 and are developing
more sustainably, with new Green Star rated
facilities for our customers.”
With an investment strategy focused on the long
term, Goodman invests in Auckland warehouse
and logistics facilities that are highly sustainable.
An assessment by insurance engineers has also
confirmed these properties are more climate
resilient, being in areas of low risk from flooding.
James Spence said, “The portfolio has continued
to function throughout the recent high wind and
rainfall events, with only minor impacts on the
business operations of a few customers.”
The ability to withstand extreme weather events
and other climate change impacts is an increasingly
important performance criteria in customers
leasing decisions.
“Our largest estates are designed with flood
paths, retention ponds and other storm water
infrastructure that reduces the risk from extreme
weather. We also maintain these systems to
ensure they are operating as intended,” said
James Spence.
To build resilience and help future proof its
properties Goodman is also investing in new
building technologies that improve operational
efficiency. Rooftop solar energy systems, LED
lighting upgrades and rainwater harvesting are
reducing reliance on Auckland’s ageing
infrastructure and lowering occupancy costs
for customers.
More than 30 solar energy systems, with 2.2 MW
of generation capacity, are expected to be
completed by 2025. These systems will provide
customers with enough renewable energy
equivalent to that needed to power around 360
homes for a year.
These capital investment initiatives are being
applied to both new developments and as building
upgrades to existing properties. While they add
resilience to the portfolio the unpredictable nature
of extreme weather makes it impossible and cost
prohibitive to mitigate every climate related risk.
James Spence said, “We’re managing and
mitigating climate risks to the extent we can.
Comprehensive insurance provides additional
security, with cover against building damage and
business interruption should the unexpected occur.”

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Improvements in the environmental performance of the business
have been reflected in the annual climate ratings assigned by CDP.
The environmental reporting initiative encourages participants to monitor greenhouse gas emissions, reduce
carbon pollution and minimise climate change impacts. Goodman have been contributing data to CDP’s annual
survey since 2006, with the results from the last three years presented in the table below.
The implementation of emission management and reduction strategies in 2020 has contributed to a record of
improving results. The 2022 climate score of A- is the highest rating achieved by a New Zealand organisation,
with the top honour being shared with three other local companies.
CDP evaluated over 18,700 organisations worldwide, with 30 New Zealand organisations contributing to this
year’s survey. To learn more cdp. net /en

Prudent capital management
The creation of two new Green
Loan facilities and other treasury
initiatives have added diversity and
flexibility to the Trust’s debt book.
With an additional $300 million of funding
capacity the new Green Loans will support
the delivery of sustainable property
solutions for customers.
Chief Financial Officer, Andy Eakin, said,
“With strong customer demand being
reflected in a high occupancy rate and a
heightened level of development activity,
we’ve increased GMT’s debt facilities to
support continued business growth.”
Existing bank facilities have been renewed
and extended, with two new lending partners
also added. ANZ and ICBC join BNZ, CBA,
HSBC and Westpac in the syndicate
of trading banks lending to the Trust.
Andy Eakin, said, “This package of treasury
initiatives adds diversity to the debt book
and provides additional flexibility to manage
short-term bond expiries.”
With committed gearing of just 28%
(at 30 September 2022) the Trust maintains
a strong balance sheet with substantial
liquidity across its debt facilities.
The low level of gearing also provides
significant headroom against its borrowing
covenants, should property values fall.

After a COVID related
postponement earlier in the year
the annual Highbrook Fun Run
was held on 2nd November 2022.
Organised by the Highbrook Rotary Club
and sponsored by Goodman and other
local companies, the family fundraising
event attracted around 350 entries.
Participants elected to either run or walk
the 1km/5km/10km course through the
park and reserve areas that surround the
estate. The group included individuals and
teams from within the Highbrook business
community, with many of these companies
taking advantage of the opportunity to
host BBQs.
Goodman entered a team of 25, with
analyst Max Zorn winning the 10km run in
an impressive 38 minutes.
The nearly $16,000 raised by Rotary will
be distributed to the Middlemore
Foundation and other local community
initiatives including:
+ Totara Hospice
+ BBM Motivation health, fitness
and well-being activities
+ RYLA (Rotary Young-Person
Leadership Awards)
Supporting our
communities
The Goodman Foundation has been supporting
New Zealand communities for well over 10 years. During
this time the charitable organisation has provided more
that $2 million of financial assistance to its community
partners. These organisations share the same values
and are delivering initiatives that improve the wellbeing
and social outcomes of those living in the
neighbourhoods where Goodman invests.
Acknowledging the devastating impacts of the extreme
weather across the North Island during January and
February 2023 the Goodman Foundation has extended
its community support. An additional $100,000 in
funding has been provided to KiwiHarvest, OrangeSky
and the Red Cross in response to the hardship and
displacement caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and the
Auckland flooding.
The financial support will allow these organisations to
extend their services, helping with the immediate need
and ongoing recovery of these communities.
Goodman team members are also contributing directly
with individual donations being matched by the
Goodman Foundation.
