5. Marketability of Property
5.1 Market Analysis Land prices in Melbourne’s industrial market continued to soar in every region, particularly for smaller lots, as
evident in the Western precinct which saw 16.7% quarter-on-quarter growth. There is a substantial shortage of land
across all precincts with significant appreciation in land prices triggered by competition for limited land.
Melbourne’s industrial and logistics sector has undergone an upswing in investor and occupier demand in recent
years. New pricing benchmarks were reached for total transaction activity, portfolio sales and inbound cross-border
capital. This activity has been underpinned by strength in the city’s underlying fundamentals. Melbourne continues
to record strong economic and population growth whilst rising as a global benchmark city. Moreover, the industrial
market has also benefited from the structural changes in industrial demand led by the growth in online retailing.
(JLL)
Industrial market prediction (Knight Frank - Outlook 2019) indicates tenant acceptance of higher rents and the
expectation that rental growth is entrenched in Sydney and Melbourne, building in Brisbane, and emerging in Perth,
underpins the sector’s attractiveness to investors as market attention turns from capital growth to rental growth.
Melbourne has seen a 4.3% increase in net rents to January 2019. Vacancy Rates for Melbourne Industrial is at 2.6%,
(Q3/2018), a decrease of .04% (Q1/2018).
The Melbourne Industrial North precinct has been characterised by the following key factors
Occupier take-up – the drivers have primarily been reflective of its proximity to the airport as it is dominate by
transport and logistics operators, which have accounted for 45% adsorption over last decade.
Future infrastructure projects will activate the North – Two major infrastructure projects are expected to deliver
improved connectivity between the Industrial North precinct and population hubs in the east and west regions being
the West Gate tunnel project and the future North East road link. The benefits include improved accessibility and
reducing travel times for commercial and private purposes.
1789 – 1791 Sydney Road, Campbellfield Strictly Confidential

Land values Rising – over the last 12 months, land values for 1 ha lots have grown by an average of 16% across the
north and on average, 57% higher than previous 5 years. Campbellfield and Epping record 17% y-o-y.
Rental growth – Prime net face rents have grown the fastest compared to other industrial precincts however remain
relatively modest in comparison. Improving accessibility to the south east and growth population in the north and
west, combined with declining availability of land in other traditional industrial markets will likely increase
competition for existing spaces options in quality locations in the medium and long term.
Last Mile delivery becoming increasingly important – growing expectation amongst consumers and expanding
competition between ecommerce suppliers is placing increased value of areas within the “last mile” radius of large
residential populations. In an ideal scenario this will be within 30 minutes of a major population centre.
The north is in the heart of Melbourne’s major population growth regions – Due to cost pressures and lack of land
availability there has been an accelerating redistribution of Melbourne population toward s the west and north,
estimates that population will increase 120% and 81% respectively. This rebalance with be critical to the North as it
is located in the middle of three major growth areas.
Activity is likely to shift north as land supply in other areas begins to decline – it is calculated the North Industrial
precinct has between 7-16 years of existing institutional grade land (less 4 ha), whilst the highest of the established
industrial precincts, it will present challenges and opportunities for investors, developers and occupiers.
(JLL Industrial Land Supply Update – August 2019)
5.2 Vacancy Lead-Time The property is 100 percent (%) occupied with 2.6 years remaining (as of November 2019). Under the Lease
Agreement the Lessee has the right to exercise two (2) further five (5) year terms to occupy (total 10 years). The
leasing strategy for the asset is to commence ongoing discussions with current occupier to review their ongoing
operational requirements and property suitability to determine their intentions to continue occupying the premises
well in advance of the pending lease expiry. The estimate lead time to source an alternative Lessee in the current
property market is up to six (6) months approximately.
5.3 Marketability on Sale Given the Sub-Scheme is for a period of approximately seven (7) years, the property should be sold when he
property is fully leased at current commercial rentals, with an improved lease expiry profile (WALE) to maximise the
sale price of the asset.

What is E-Waste? E-waste is defined as waste electrical and electronic equipment that is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to function (including all components, subassemblies and consumables which are part of the original equipment at the time of discarding). They include:
• Consumer/entertainment electronics (e.g. televisions, DVD players and tuners)
• Devices of office, information and communications technology (e.g. computers, telephones and mobile phones).
• Household appliances (e.g. fridges, washing machines and microwaves).
• Lighting devices (e.g. desk lamps).
• Power tools (e.g. power drills) with the exclusion of stationary industrial devices.
• Devices used for sport and leisure including toys (e.g. fitness machines and remote control cars).
Australians are among the highest users of technology, and e-waste is one of the fastest growing types of waste. Without significant measures to reduce it, Australia’s e-waste will increase from around 138,000 tonnes produced in 2012-13 to 223,000 tonnes in 2023-24.1 E-waste is growing three times faster than the rate of standard municipal waste. It contains many potentially hazardous and valuable materials, which do not belong in landfill. The Victorian Government is investing $16.5 million to upgrade e-waste collection and storage facilities across the state and to deliver an education program campaign to increase awareness of e-waste and how to dispose of it properly.2 To help protect our environment and recover more precious resources, the Victorian Government has banned all e-waste from going to landfill as of 1 July 2019. That means, e-waste can’t go in any bin.
Why Recycle E-Waste? It’s good for the environment!
E-waste is full of valuable resources that we can reuse, as well as some hazardous materials that are bad for the environment. Rather than putting e-waste in the bin and sending it to landfill, we can remove the bad elements and save the good.

Australian Securities Limited Page 3 of 4
E-waste contains a whole range of valuable materials, including tin, nickel, zinc, aluminium, copper, silver, gold and plastic. When we throw e-waste in landfill, we lose these precious materials and then need to dig up and extract more of these materials from the earth to create new products, which is very damaging to the environment.
To give you an idea, a million mobile phones contain an estimated 15–16 tonnes of copper, 340–350 kilograms of silver and 24–34 kilograms of gold. When you consider there are more than 22 million discarded mobile handsets in Australia, a number that grows by more than one million each year, it’s a lot of precious resources we’re throwing away. Since many of these materials are non-renewable, once they’re gone, they’re gone. However, if e-waste is properly recycled, these materials and parts can be recycled and used again and again. By reusing what we’ve already mined, we’re not only cutting costs, we’re also reducing the greenhouse gasses created in the mining, processing and transportation of these raw materials. But if your old technology is sent to landfill, these valuable resources are lost forever. More importantly, it reduces landfill In 2016, 44.7 million metric tonnes of e-waste was generated worldwide. Of this enormous figure, only about 20 per cent, or 8.9 million metric tonnes was recycled. In Oceania, the total e-waste generation was .07 metric tonnes. The top country with the highest e-waste generation is absolute quantities is Australia. Official data shows that only 7.5% of the e-waste generated in Australia is documented to be collected and recycled. In New Zealand and the rest of Oceania the official collection rate was 0%.3
Australian Efforts to Manage E-Waste On 22 June 2011, the Australian Federal Parliament passed the Product Stewardship Act, which legislated that both government and industry have a shared responsibility to reduce electronic waste, increase recycling and manage the environmental, health and safety impacts of the products that we use. From this legislation the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) was established, making it law for companies that manufacture or import computers or TVs to take responsibility for the safe and environmentally friendly recycling of end-of-life products. The NTCRS has three main objectives, which together mean better management of e-waste:
• Reduce waste to landfill, especially hazardous materials found in e-waste • Increase recovery of reusable materials in a safe, scientific and environmentally sound
manner • Provide access for households and small businesses across Australia to an industry-funded
recycling service. Under the NTCRS, computer and TV manufactures and importers are required to join and support a government approved service.
How is E-Waste processed and re-used E-waste is recovered in several ways, depending on the item, and can be repurposed for use in new batteries, electronics, homewares and more. In general, the process of repurposing e-waste follows the following steps.
3 The Global E-Waste monitor 2017
Australian Securities Limited Page 4 of 4
1. Items are carefully disassembled Depending on the type of device, some manual disassembly may occur. Batteries and casings are removed from phones, steel casings from around hard-drives, while cartridges and toners are detached from printers. The glass from TVs and monitors (especially older-style cathode-ray tube products) will be carefully separated to avoid the release of any toxic lead or mercury that may be present. 2. Remaining components are shredded After initial disassembly, the remaining items and components are sent to a shredder, which reduces the size of components to between 1cm and 10cm. Data destruction also takes place at this stage. 3. Raw materials are processed and sorted Sorting of the shredded material is often a manual process, though automated machines are also used. Several processes are used including:
• magnets to remove ferrous metals (steel)
• eddy currents to separate non-ferrous metals such as aluminium
• infrared beams, lasers or X-rays, and bursts of compressed air to identify various plastics and other metals
• water is used to separate plastics from glass
• any contaminants are treated and removed.
4. Repurposed e-waste can be used in new batteries, electronics, homewares and more Once all the materials have been sorted into their raw form they can be resold to suppliers to make new products. While most of our e-waste is dismantled into its various components here in Australia, some materials are sent overseas for final processing. Many batteries are sent to South Korea, while circuit boards and batteries go to Singapore for processing. Other components, such as copper, steel and plastics, are smelted here in Australia. The goal is to make a closed loop, where a new product isn’t made from raw materials but, instead, from fully recovered components, which in turn are also completely recoverable. Once all the different components of your e-waste are back in the supply chain, they can be reused to make almost anything.
