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.
