Chief Executive Officer, James Spence said,

“Goodman 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 the Tāwharau Lane development at

Highbrook is among the first New Zealand

industrial projects to achieve the standard.”

Sharing a prominent site opposite Highbrook

Crossing, the three warehouse and distribution

facilities have been carefully positioned to

maximise exposure to traffic flows along

Highbrook Drive while also preserving the

connectivity with the Tāmaki River and esplanade

walkway.

The orientation and profile of the three stand-

alone buildings optimises the site and also

protects view shafts across the water to the city’s

volcanic cones.

The projects were constructed from lower carbon

materials to reduce embodied emissions and the

development process was carefully managed to

minimise waste and other environmental impacts.

James Spence said, “Originally developed on a

built-to-lease basis the three facilities were all

pre-leased with Garmin, pH7 and Chemist

Warehouse taking advantage of the opportunity

to tailor the buildings to meet their specific

business needs. Our delivery team worked with

these customers on bespoke solutions to

optimise the operational efficiency of the

workspaces.”

Collaborating with consultants, suppliers, and

lead contractor, Goodman’s project delivery

team extended the original target rating from

5 Green Star to 6 Green Star midway through

the development programme.

Key sustainability features of the Tāwharau Lane

developments include:

+ Integration of roof top solar energy systems

providing 82.8 kWp of renewable energy, forecast

to cover over 50% of the buildings’ baseload

+ Electrical submetering to facilitate ongoing energy

monitoring and benchmarking

+ Rainwater harvesting, low flow fittings and other

water saving technologies

+ Low-E double glazing that improves thermal

performance

+ Lower GWP R32 HVAC systems regulating

thermal comfort

+ Hiqh quality workspaces, utilising natural materials

+ Extensive landscaping and easy access to the

Highbrook Park esplanade reserves

+ EV charging stations to promote sustainable

commuting and reduce carbon emissions.

The range of green building initiatives incorporated

into the projects create a superior working

environment, contributing to greater productivity

and reduced operating costs for these businesses.

James Spence said, “Delivering highly sustainable

property solutions for our customers and achieving

the industry leading 6 Green Star Design rating on

these projects reinforces our commitment to a low

carbon future.”

Property

“ Our customers shared the vision for lower emission, more resource efficient and resilient buildings.

While it required extra design input and the use of more innovative materials and construction

techniques the 6 Green Star Design rating from the New Zealand Green Building Council provides

independent confirmation that we are developing the very best industrial facilities in the country.”

One of the key objectives of Goodman’s

sustainability programme is to improve

the resilience and resource efficiency

of the existing portfolio. More than

$20 million is allocated to these

initiatives over the two-to-three years

as customers embrace the new

technologies that are improving the

quality of their workspaces and

operational efficiency of their buildings.

While solar energy is the highest profile of the new

energy saving technologies being retrofitted into

the portfolio, the initiative having the greatest

positive impact is the upgrade of older lighting

systems.

Tom Slade, Head of Environmental Sustainability

said, “Audits of the core portfolio identified

62 buildings that would benefit from an upgrade

to LED lighting. We have upgraded 77,700 sqm

to date, and expect to have completed all these

projects by the end of 2025.”

LED lighting technology is now in its second

generation and is more energy efficient, brighter

and puts out less heat than metal halide, halogen

or fluorescent lighting solutions that have

traditionally been used in warehousing.

Tom Slade said, “New generation LED fittings are

around 75% more efficient than incandescent

bulbs and can be automated with occupancy

sensors and sophisticated controllers linked by

a wireless mesh network to further reduce energy

consumption and significantly lower occupancy

costs for our customers.

With lower energy requirements they also have a

much longer operational life, up to 25 times that

of traditional lighting solutions.”

BOOSTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY

3 of 3

Goodman is working with lighting consultant

Signify on the delivery of the new systems.

Around 6,000 individual fittings are expected to

be replaced with new GreenPerform Highbay

Elite units. The older light fittings are also being

carefully recycled, consistent with the business’s

wider sustainability commitments.

With each light separated into its component

parts Interwaste is recycling the bulbs and tubes

while Abilities Group are breaking down the

fittings and recovering around 98% of the metal

and plastic for further processing.

Tom Slade said, “Sustainability and circularity

principles underpin this investment programme

and we are proud to be working alongside

customers and other organisations that share

these values.”

The resource recovery team at Abilities expect

to process around 24 tonnes of fittings as part of

the Goodman lighting upgrade project. It’s a small

part of the 1,275 tonnes of waste recycled through

its North Shore facility last year.

BOARD CHANGES
Recently announced Board changes complete a renewal programme that has included

the appointment of Independent Directors Laurissa Cooney and David Gibson.

After leading the Board for the last 13 years and

overseeing the successful repositioning of GMT as an

industrial property specialist, Keith Smith stepped

down as Chair on 29 May 2023. He continues on the

Board as an Independent Director but has restated his

intention to retire before his current term expires in

July 2025.

The Board unanimously appointed John Dakin as the

new Chair and David Gibson to the newly created role

of Deputy Chair.

At the same time, it was also announced that Phil Pryke

would be retiring from the Board. His departure at the

end of September 2023 will result in the Board

reducing in size, from seven Directors to six. A majority

of Independent Directors is maintained.

The immense contribution from Keith and Phil to the

ongoing success of GMT was acknowledged at the

Annual Meeting in June 2023. Both Directors have

contributed to the strong governance that has

delivered positive and sustainable business growth

for the Trust over many years.

With no Independent Directors up for

re-election and no resolutions to be voted

on, the meeting format was simplified.

Presentations were made by John Dakin as

the new Chair, CEO James Spence and

CFO Andy Eakin. The focus of these

presentations was the FY23 financial result,

the strong operating performance of the

Trust and the outlook for FY24.

Daffodil Day and

Pink Ribbon Breakfast

With most New Zealand families having some

connection to, or experience with cancer, Goodman

team members were motivated to fundraise during

the recent Daffodil Day and Pink Ribbon appeals.

A team morning-tea in the Goodman city and

Highbrook offices were promoted for the Pink Ribbon

appeal on 23 May 2023. The donate what-you-can

events were well attended with staff providing an

extensive morning tea for colleagues as part of the

breast cancer fund-raising initiative.

To extend the education message Goodman has also

facilitated Pink Caravan visits to Highbrook Business

Park in East Tāmaki. Our Cancer Society Daffodil Day

fundraiser on 25 August was also held at the estate.

With a daily work force of over 5,000, visiting the

business park is an effective way of reaching a large

number of people in a single day.

The Highbrook Crossing Plaza was the venue for the

Daffodil Day event, with those making a gold coin

donation getting a free cupcake or small bunch of

daffodils. With some workplaces unable to make the

morning event, the Goodman team members visited a

number of the larger businesses to fundraise directly.

Supported by the Goodman Foundation, the Daffodil

Day and Pink Ribbon events have raised almost $4,500

to help fund cancer education and research, and to

also support patients and their families.

SUPERSITE BLESSING

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST NEWSLETTER ffi SEPTEMBER 2023 ffi ISSUE 17

The completion and commissioning of the new 35,860 sqm logistics

facility for Mainfreight at Favona Road Estate in Māngere was marked

with a blessing ceremony on 21 July 2023.

Representatives from Goodman,

Mainfreight, and the wider project team

were all in attendance as Jeff Lee and

David Wilson from Te Ākitai Waiohua, and

Stuart Renata from Ngaati Whanaunga

lead the karakia.

Designed to be highly sustainable and

resource efficient, the new twin-warehouse

facility incorporates lower carbon and

renewably sourced building materials.

The development process was carefully

managed to reduce environmental

impacts and the building is expected to

achieve a 5 Green Star Built rating from

the New Zealand Green Building Council

when the project is certified.

Its sustainability features include a rooftop

solar energy system, automated LED

lighting, low flow water fittings and rainwater

harvesting. These features reduce

operational emissions, provide lower

demands on Auckland’s infrastructure, and

are also expected to deliver lower

occupancy costs for Mainfreight.
