Chairman’s Letter

Jim Hazel 

The 2023 financial year was 
one of incredible challenge and 
transition for the business as 
we moved from an acquisition 
focus to one of integration and 
putting in place the building 
blocks to significantly scale 
our development platform. 

The macro-economic conditions 
we experienced in the prior year 
continued to create significant 
challenges over FY23, leading 
to changes in our performance 
expectations as we moved into 
the second half of the year. 
Rising interest rates, inflationary 
pressures and extended 
construction timeframes 
represented headwinds for the 
Group. Over the year it was 
pleasing to see the way our teams 
responded to this environment 
and changing business priorities, 
as we positioned the business for 
the future, in line with our focus 
on the creation of sustainable, 
long-term value. 

Financial performance 
and capital management
The strong performance of 
the Group’s holiday parks over 
the year and the strength of 
the residential rental cash 
flows, which benefitted from 
growth over the year, delivered 
increased cash flows from 
the core business. However, 
home production lagged 
as labour constraints and 
material shortages in the first 
half contributed to extended 
construction timelines and 
limited home completions with 
a majority of homes not being 
complete until the final quarter of 
the year. As a result, we revised 
our guidance in February, to 
reflect a lower home settlements 
expectation. 

The result for the year was in 
line with revised guidance, with 
increases in revenue (up 17%), 
and EBIT (up 7% to $109.3 
million). Underlying profit and 
underlying profit per security 
were both down (by 4% and 11% 
respectively), as interest costs 
and debt increased. Costs across 
the business reflected inflationary 
pressures and the full year impact 
of a larger portfolio following 
$650 million in acquisitions over 
FY22. The full year distribution of 
11.0 cents per stapled security is 
consistent with our conservative 
capital management stance, and 
was in line with the prior year. 

Disciplined capital management 
was maintained, with the Group’s 
loan to value ratio at 31.4%, well 
below the covenant of 55%. 
Capital recycling resulted in the 
sale of $55 million of non-core 
assets, and additional assets 
have been identified for sale. 
At year end a total of $192 million 
in cash and available undrawn 
debt provides capacity to fund 
further investment in embedded 
growth, select land acquisitions 
and targeted development as 
we continue to execute on our 
business strategy. Hedging, via 
fixed rate debt and derivative 
instruments, is in place to 
mitigate the impact of rising 
interest rates (53% of 30 June 
drawn debt hedged). 

Delivering our strategic 
and sustainability goals
Over the year we made progress 
on our strategy and sustainability 
goals. Following significant 
acquisition activity, we have been 
focussed on integrating new 
acquisitions and investing in the 
platform and structure to address 
the needs of a larger business. 

Year in Review7

The benefit of changes made in recent years 
was clear as our rental, core lifestyle (land 
lease) and holidays segments capitalised on 
strong demand, delivering revenue growth. 
Addressing construction challenges was a 
key priority for the development team and 
the onboarding of new team members, 
the appointment of new builder partners 
and process improvements have vastly 
improved the scalability and reliability 
of our construction activity.

We were pleased to extend our development 
Joint Venture with Sun Communities for 
a further 7 years, continuing a successful 
partnership that not only provides capital 
for development but gives our team access 
to an experienced operator across our core 
lifestyle and holiday parks businesses. This 
enhances our ability to continue to grow our 
development activity and portfolio while 
leveraging our platform to generate fees.

Sustainability remains a priority as we 
embed our approach across the business 
and we made solid progress on the initiatives 
outlined in our last Annual Report and 2022 
Sustainability Report. 

Our climate strategy is progressing and 
part of this work was the publication of 
our Climate Disclosure Statement, which 
provides our first Taskforce for Climate 
related Disclosures (TCFD) aligned report. 
We have continued our identified emissions 
reduction activities and extended our 
data capture as we strive towards a goal 
of net zero carbon emissions (Scope 1 
and 2) in 2035. A key achievement was 
commencement of our first land lease 
developments targeting Green Star – 
Communities ratings, leading to the creation 
of more sustainable communities. 

The Group’s 40:40:20 (Female: Male: 
Either) target was again met, with females 
representing 43% of non-executive 
directors and 70% of our executive team 
(excluding the Group’s CEO). Recognising 
our leadership in this area, in 2022 Ingenia 
ranked No 1 in the real estate sector for 
women in executive leadership team roles 
in the Chief Executive Women (CEW) 
Senior Executive Census.

$2.3b 

Real Estate Portfolio
(owned/managed)

We built a stronger understanding of our 
team, with a range of new questions in 
our recent Employee Survey providing 
important insights that we will action via 
future initiatives to support our employees’ 
health, well-being and career aspirations, by 
responding to what matters most to them. 

We also embarked on our reconciliation 
journey, committing to a Reflect 
Reconciliation Action Plan and forming 
a dedicated working group with 
representation from across the business 
to lead this important initiative.

Reflecting our commitment to operating 
sustainably, we have also incorporated ESG 
metrics into executive scorecards and more 
broadly across performance metrics for 
our teams.

Board and executive leadership
We remain focussed on ensuring the 
Board retains the right mix of skills and 
experience to guide the Group’s strategy 
and deliver on business objectives and 
consider opportunities for renewal as part 
of our commitment to leading governance 
practices. Over the year Sally Evans stepped 
into the role of Chair of the Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee, through a 
planned transition as Amanda Heyworth 
stepped down from this role. 

Following the appointment of two 
executives to the leadership team last year, 
we continued to structure the Group to 
capitalise on the opportunities and needs 
of an expanded asset base and an evolving 
operating environment. Justin Mitchell 
was appointed as Chief Financial Officer 
and we also added new Chief Information 
and Technology and Chief Customer 
Officer roles, extending the capability and 
experience of the leadership team as we 
enter the next phase of growth.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Ltd Annual Report 2023Board of DirectorsDirectors’ ReportRemuneration ReportFinancial StatementsSustainabilityYear in ReviewOur commitment to prudent 
capital management sees us 
commence FY24 with a sound 
balance sheet and a strong base 
of resilient rental cash flows. This 
positions the business well to 
benefit from our platform and 
enhanced scale in FY24 and 
to navigate uncertain macro-
economic conditions. Continued 
recycling of capital from non-
core assets will assist us to fund 
our development needs. 

Overall, we enter FY24 in a solid 
position, and I would like to 
thank the Ingenia team for their 
commitment and effort over 
what has been a difficult year. I 
would also like to thank my Board 
colleagues for their contribution 
and all security holders for your 
continued support.

Outlook – FY24 and beyond
We enter FY24 with a strong 
operating business which is 
delivering stable, recurring 
revenue and greater visibility 
in construction, however high 
interest rates and inflation 
continue to create challenging 
operating conditions. While 
we cannot predict when the 
macro-economic environment 
will improve, we retain a positive 
outlook for Ingenia’s business. 

We have successfully increased 
our exposure to our core 
land lease business, Ingenia 
Lifestyle, and have further 
growth secured through an 
attractive pipeline of projects. 
Our construction capacity has 
increased, and we are poised to 
benefit as the residential housing 
market improves. 

The long-term fundamental 
drivers of an ageing population, 
a shortage of quality affordable 
housing and the benefits 
of social engagement our 
communities offer is unchanged. 
Our communities are affordable 
and provide an attractive 
financial and lifestyle solution for 
downsizers who have benefitted 
from the increase in value of 
their family home. 

Our Holiday Parks have ongoing 
demand as domestic travel 
remains an attractive option for 
many families and seniors who 
are experiencing cost of living 
pressures and enjoy the ease 
and affordability our parks offer.

CEO and Managing Director’s Letter

Simon Owen 

We entered FY23 with 
a significantly expanded 
revenue base and footprint 
across each of the core 
businesses. 

Performance was impacted by 
construction delays experienced in the 
first half, however the Group’s growing 
base of resilient rental cashflows and 
strong performance across the Holidays 
business, supported returns.

FY23 Performance
Revenue grew 17% to $394.5 
million, reflecting the growth in 
core revenue streams, and EBIT 
was up 7% to $109.3 million. 
Operating cash flow of $82.5 
million was down 28% as an 
increase in rent and tourism 
earnings was offset by growth in 
inventory and work-in-progress 
across eighteen active projects.

Statutory Profit of $64.4 
million was down 33% on the 
FY22 result, primarily due to 
lower revaluation increments 
versus prior year across the 
Group’s investment properties. 
Underlying Profit of $84.7 million 
was down 4% on the prior year 
and Net Asset Value per security 
(NAV) increased to $3.77 (from 
$3.721 at 30 June 2022). 

Underlying EPS of 20.8 cents 
represented an 11% decrease 
on FY22 and was impacted by 
rising interest costs. The full year 
distribution of 11.0 cents per 
stapled security was consistent 
with the distribution paid in FY22.

The result was in line with 
revised guidance. Total home 
settlements, of 374 homes, 
was below expectations as 
construction was impacted by 
labour and supply shortages 
in the first half and a slowing 
residential market in the second 
half of the year as twelve 
successive interest rate rises 
impacted buyer sentiment and 
market activity. 

Capital management
The Group closed FY23 with a 
strong balance sheet reflecting 
the focus on capital recycling and 
prudent capital management. 
At 30 June 2023, Ingenia’s 
loan to value ratio (LVR) was 
31.4%, at the lower end of the 
Group’s target range of 30-40%, 
providing capacity to grow the 
Group’s portfolio through select 
acquisitions and development. 
Hedging was in place for 53% 
of 30 June 2023 drawn debt.

Delivering on strategic 
priorities

Enhanced scale in core 
business segments, 
growing exposure 
to long-term annuity 
rental cashflows

The addition of $680 million 
in acquisitions over FY22 and 
the first half of FY23 continued 
the Group’s focus on building a 
large and diverse revenue base 
with the emphasis on growing 
exposure to the Ingenia Lifestyle 
business. Across Ingenia and 
the Group’s capital partners, 
the Group now has a diverse 
portfolio of established land lease 
and rental communities, holiday 
parks and land parcels for future 
development.

communities in  
development

Ingenia Lifestyle (our land lease 
communities business) continued 
to expand through development. 
Consistent with our view of 
demographic and demand 
trends, the development pipeline 
of 5,778 potential home sites is 
heavily focused in Queensland 
and coastal/regional markets. 
These markets remain affordable 
and are experiencing net internal 
migration.

Combined with growth in the 
Group’s Joint Venture with Sun 
Communities, the Group now owns 
or manages a $2.3 billion property 
portfolio across 107 communities. 

Development activity, a key driver 
of expansion of the rental base, 
increased over FY23 with a total of 
eighteen active projects, including:

•  Fourteen projects which 

are currently selling homes, 
assisted by the availability of 
inventory and new display 
homes 

•  Four additional projects where 
works have commenced, and 
which will contribute new 
home settlements in FY24 
and FY25.

The Group commenced three 
projects on the New South Wales 
Coast over FY23 and has the 
largest portfolio of communities 
under development in New South 
Wales.

Ingenia Communities Holdings Ltd Annual Report 2023Board of DirectorsDirectors’ ReportRemuneration ReportFinancial StatementsSustainabilityYear in Review12

with additional projects in FY24 
supporting an increase in home 
settlements to meet our longer 
term target of 1,600 – 2,000 
settlements for the three years 
to end FY26.

Holiday Parks benefitting 
from strong demand
Our Holiday Parks portfolio 
was also expanded over 
FY22, contributing to strong 
performance in FY23. Ingenia 
Holidays now has parks from the 
Great Barrier Reef in Queensland 
to the Great Ocean Road in 
Victoria. 

Across our Holiday Parks we 
continued to grow and evolve 
our revenue streams – with 
the addition of new tourism 
accommodation, permanent 
homes and annual sites. 
Permanent homes and annual 
sites deliver diverse income 
streams and support operating 
costs with stable recurring 
revenue which is not impacted 
by travel demand.

Holidays demand has remained 
buoyant as families and grey 
nomads continue to value local 
travel, with both occupancy and 
room rate exceeding pre-COVID 
levels. The business is benefitting 
from stronger demand in off peak 
periods and occupancy growth. 
Ingenia owned cabin and camp 
sites increased to more than 
4,300 and tourism rental income 
was up 36%.

Capital Partnerships
As the development Joint 
Venture with Sun Communities 
(JV) now has four projects 
underway, with two communities 
contributing home settlements, 
fees for services increased 
and rental revenue is growing. 
Ingenia provides only half of 
the required funding for JV 
projects, while receiving fees for 
services and retaining the right to 
acquire a 100% of the completed 
communities after five years of 
joint ownership.

Residential communities 
Residential communities remain 
the core of our strategy and we 
continue to expand and evolve 
this business with an emphasis on 
our land lease communities. Our 
communities are experiencing 
demand with high occupancy 
levels and have benefited from 
affordability and the appeal of 
community living.

The resilience of the rental 
cash flows, which are often 
underpinned by government 
payments, has continued as CPI 
linked rents increased over FY23. 
The full benefit of these increases 
will occur in FY24. New home 
settlements and investment in 
rental cabins have expanded the 
rental base and will contribute 
to future earnings growth. 

The Ingenia Gardens portfolio 
has been refined with the sale 
of two non-core communities 
in November 2022. Occupancy 
remains high, at 97%, with strong 
rent collections and no increase 
in defaults, supporting secure 
rental revenue. 

The Lifestyle Rental segment 
increased revenue by 39% over 
the year, with the number of 
homes now exceeding 5,800 
across Ingenia Lifestyle and 
Ingenia Rental. 

Ingenia Rental is benefitting from 
growing demand with residential 
vacancy rates across key markets 
remaining low, and a severe 
undersupply of affordable rental 
accommodation. Occupancy 
across these communities sits at 
99% with a deep wait list. New 
rental cabins continue to be in 
high demand and are generating 
a yield on investment in excess 
of 15%.

Ingenia Lifestyle is appealing 
to downsizers seeking quality 
affordable homes in desirable 
locations and we have expanded 
our offer with diversity of location 
and price. New homes are for sale 
from $322,000 to over $1 million 
across fourteen communities in 
New South Wales, Victoria and 
Queensland. 

Over FY23, settlements were 
impacted by longer build times, 
which pushed completions to 
the last quarter, as well as rising 
interest rates and living costs and 
increased days on market, which 
caused buyer hesitancy and 
slowed market activity. Pleasingly, 
we were able to increase scale in 
our home production, completing 
458 homes, and we have greater 
certainty around build times 
which assists release timing 
and management of capital and 
inventory. A total of eighteen 
projects are now underway 

Year in Review13

We were pleased to agree a 
7-year extension of the Joint 
Venture which not only gives 
certainly of funding for current 
projects, including the recently 
commenced 606-home Morisset 
community on the NSW Central 
Coast, but provides an ongoing 
benefit through access to an 
experienced partner across our 
core business activities.

Continuing our ESG journey
Our sustainability program has 
continued to build momentum 
this year as we prioritise projects 
and build capacity in line with our 
strategy. Maintaining a focus on 
the social benefits of our business 
saw ongoing resident, guest and 
team support and engagement, 
and the implementation of a 
new Giving Policy targeted at 
local communities. We remain 
conscious of the impact of 
growing costs of living on our 
residents, ensuring our rents and 
home prices remain affordable. 

We now employ 1,300 team 
members, many in our regionally 
based communities and parks, 
and are continuing to focus on 
attracting and retaining talented 
people aligned to our vision and 
culture. We maintain a focus 
on diversity and inclusion, with 
a high portion of female team 
members at all levels of the 
business, including our executive 
leadership team and Board.

We are progressing strategies 
aligned to our goal to achieve net 
zero emissions for our operations 
(Scope 1 and 2) by 2035 and a 
30% reduction in our carbon 
emissions (across select assets) 
over the five years to 2026. We 
have continued to install solar 
PV systems across our operating 
communities as well as define 
minimum standards for future 
developments. Our data capture 
and quality is improving, a key 
focus for our team as we seek 
a greater understanding of our 
emissions profile and progress. 

While our Beveridge community 
(targeted as our first Green Star 
Home community) was delayed 

due to extensive weather and 
supply challenges, we were 
pleased to begin work on site in 
FY23. We have also commenced 
two additional communities 
which are targeting a Green Star 
– Communities rating.

We commenced work on our 
first Reconciliation Action Plan 
and have put in place a Working 
Group with representation from 
across the business to lead and 
support this initiative. 

Outlook
We have exposure to sectors with 
ongoing demand across seniors 
housing and domestic travel and 
are growing our Ingenia Lifestyle 
business, which now represents 
57% of the Group’s $2.3 billion 
portfolio.

We have materially enhanced 
our scale and exposure to 
residential and holidays revenue 
and the demand drivers which 
underpin Ingenia’s growth profile 
remain firmly in place, including 
an ageing demographic and 
demand for domestic travel. 

Our resident rental streams 
provide a strong defensive 
element to returns. 

While we are cognisant of 
the ongoing uncertainty in 
macro-economic conditions, 
our strategic focus remains 
unchanged. We are at the 
beginning of a multi-decade 
opportunity as seniors seek a 
move to an affordable lifestyle in 
desirable locations and domestic 
travel continues to be an 
attractive and attainable option 
for our core markets. These 
trends support our key business 
areas which will continue to 
deliver diversity in revenue 
and returns.

We are now focused on select 
divestments to enhance quality, 
maximise returns and provide 
funding for growth. 

As we have seen construction 
conditions slowly improve and 
build times gradually reduce 
across the majority of projects 

we are confident of our ability 
to scale production in FY24. 
Short term sales outcomes 
remain influenced by the 
direction of residential markets 
and the ability of our residents 
to sell their current home. 
However we are well placed 
to capitalise as conditions 
improve, with new projects 
in market, available inventory 
and greater certainty over 
construction. 

With a focus on executing 
on the growth opportunities 
embedded in the business, 
in FY24 we will build out 
the platform and identify 
efficiencies associated with 
a larger asset base and 
accelerated development.

The business enters FY24 
with diverse assets, resilient 
revenue streams and leverage 
to a recovery in the residential 
housing market. Our balance 
sheet is strong, we are well 
funded and are continuing our 
targeted divestment program 
to support growth.

Subject to no material change 
in the operating environment, 
the Group is targeting growth 
in EBIT of 10% to 15% on FY23 
and underlying EPS of 20.8 
cents to 22.3 cents for FY24. 
This guidance reflects current 
macroeconomic settings 
and the uncertain residential 
market conditions. 

I would like to thank everyone 
at Ingenia for their hard 
work and commitment to 
our residents and guests 
over the past year, and our 
Board for their support and 
guidance as we navigated 
a very challenging year. 
Finally, I would like to thank 
our security holders for their 
ongoing support.

Communities

The Group’s residential 
communities provide stable, 
rent based cash flows and 
form the core focus of the 
Group’s growth.

Offering rental homes and land lease homes (where 
residents own the home and rent the land), Ingenia’s 
residential communities provide community based living, 
largely focused on the growing over 50’s population.

Development is a key driver of future rental income 
through the creation of sustainable, purpose built 
land lease communities.

Residential Communities

Ingenia 
Lifestyle Rental

The Group’s Lifestyle Rental 
portfolio provides accommodation, 
predominantly through a land lease 
rental model, where residents own 
their home and rent the land. 

Ingenia Lifestyle Rental includes land lease 
communities (Ingenia Lifestyle) and all-age ‘build 
to rent’ communities (Ingenia Rental). 

The core of this portfolio is rental revenue generated 
from residents who generally fund their rental 
payments via government pension and rent 
assistance. 

Over FY23, the portfolio benefitted from recent 
acquisitions, investment in additional rental homes 
and new home settlements and now has a value of 
$868 million ($827 million at 30 June 2022) with 
further embedded growth. Revenue increased 
to $76.8 million (up 39% on FY22). The portfolio 
provides a resilient rental stream with high levels of 
occupancy and CPI linked growth in rents across the 
majority of communities. 

The EBIT contribution of $35.9 million was up 34% 
on the prior year.

Future growth will be generated as the portfolio 
benefits from the addition of 367 income producing 
sites in FY23 and new homes are added to existing 
and new communities via ongoing large-scale and 
infill development.

Over FY23, the 
Lifestyle Rental 
portfolio benefitted 
from the full year 
contribution of 
twelve acquisitions 
in FY22 and now 
has over 5,800 
homes and sites 
providing stable 
weekly rent across 
39 Ingenia Lifestyle 
and Ingenia Rental 
communities.

Ingenia Rental

Residential Communities

The Group’s Rental portfolio 
provides all-age, affordable rental 
accommodation.

The portfolio of 
ten communities 
added 62 new 
rental homes 
in FY23 and is 
experiencing strong 
demand and record 
high occupancy 
of 99%.

With limited rental options and constrained new supply 
as national vacancy rates remain low, the portfolio is 
positioned to continue to capture demand and maintain 
occupancy. Approvals are in place for a further 140 
rental homes which will provide expansion across 
existing communities, enhancing returns. New homes are 
attracting higher rents with new, two bedroom homes 
experiencing strong demand. 

The portfolio is meeting a need for affordable rental 
accommodation and over the course of FY24 will continue 
to grow returns as new rental homes are added to existing 
communities and rent growth is achieved.

Ingenia 
Lifestyle

Residential Communities

Ingenia Lifestyle now represents over 
55% of Group assets, with communities 
concentrated in key coastal and outer 
urban locations.

Development is 
a key driver of 
growth in the land 
lease rental base 
and the creation 
of sustainable 
communities. 

Ingenia’s Lifestyle portfolio offers 
land lease homes, providing 
both affordable and premium 
living with residents enjoying a 
range of community facilities and 
activities. Communities currently 
under development offer homes 
from $322,000 to over $1 million 
in attractive locations.

The portfolio meets the need 
from a growing demographic 
of seniors who are attracted to 
the lifestyle these communities 
offer and see the opportunity 
to downsize to release equity 
in their current home. 

Through FY23 the portfolio continued to grow revenue 
via CPI linked rental growth and the addition of new 
homes through development. 

The integration of seven communities acquired in FY22 
and the addition of further land parcels to facilitate 
future growth provide a pathway for ongoing expansion 
of revenue as the portfolio continues to benefit from 
a broad footprint with communities across New South 
Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Rental growth across the portfolio is linked to inflation, 
with growth achieved as rent reviews were undertaken 
and new residents entered.

Residential Communities

Ingenia Lifestyle 
Development

Ingenia’s development program supports further rental growth 
and the creation of modern, sustainable communities. 

In a challenging environment for construction 
and residential home sales the development 
business delivered 374 home settlements 
across Ingenia, the development Joint Venture 
with Sun Communities and the Group’s 
managed funds. The average home sale price 
was up 19% to $487,000 across the Ingenia 
owned projects and new home settlements 
will contribute further revenue to the rental 
base. Despite a fall in total homes settled, new 
home development profit of $65.5 million was 
up from $62.7 million in FY22. 

Development and sales fees derived from the 
Joint Venture also increased (from $0.7 million 
in FY22 to $2.1 million) with four communities 
now under construction and two delivering 
settlements in FY23. This contribution will 
continue to grow as projects progress.

The EBIT margin for the development 
business declined to 23.6% (from 26.7% in 
FY22) and was impacted by costs associated 
with accelerated activity in production and 
new developments, as investment was made 
into inventory and projects that will deliver 
settlements in FY24/25.

Land was acquired at Gordonvale (Cairns), 
Sunbury (Melbourne) and Woolgoolga (Coffs 
Harbour), contributing to a development 
pipeline of 5,778 potential future home sites 
across the business. 

The FY23 result was delivered in a period 
where construction continued to be 
challenging. The Group commenced the year 
with no completed homes inventory and the 
average build time across the Group’s projects 
remained elevated. As a result, project 
releases were limited, and home completions 
were skewed to the second half (over 200 
homes were completed in the last quarter of 
the year). 

Construction conditions slowly improved 
into the second half and build times reduced 
across a range of projects. The completion 
of 458 homes was a material step up in 
construction (representing an increase of 14% 
on prior year) and resulted in the availability 
of inventory into FY24.

Demand remains resilient, however delayed 
home completions and the impact on market 
activity of rising interest rates, increased living 
costs and poor consumer sentiment, combined 
with increased days on market contributed to 
a longer lead time for settlements. 

Despite these challenges, the Group made 
significant progress over the year, materially 
increasing scale in home production, 
commencing new projects and introducing new 
builders. Over FY23 activity accelerated, with 
fourteen projects in market, including three 
launched in 2H23; four additional projects under 
construction; and a further seven projects due 
to commence in FY24/FY25.

The Group closed FY23 with 18 active projects 
and 288 deposits and contracts to support 
settlements over FY24. Over 50% of Ingenia’s 
30 June inventory of 58 homes was contracted 
for sale as at 30 June.

Residential Communities

Moving into FY24 visibility on 
completions, certainty of supply 
and the availability of inventory 
create a positive environment for 
sales, and the business is poised 
to benefit as the residential 
market improves. 

Longer-term drivers of 
demand remain intact. Housing 
affordability issues and the 
appeal of community living make 
Ingenia’s communities a highly 
attractive proposition. The target 
market is large, and growing, and 
the Group’s communities offer 
an engaged lifestyle with access 
to quality facilities and homes 
at a range of price points and 
locations. 

The Group has accelerated 
activity in the development 
segment with projects in place to 
support a target of 1,600 - 2,000 
home settlements over the three 
years to end FY26. Margin and 
EBIT are expected to begin to 
improve as increased sales prices 
and scale realise efficiencies.

These include projects on the New South Wales Coast,

Active projects include the first communities targeting 
Green Star – Communities ratings (at Bargara, Fullerton 
Cove and Beveridge). 

The development of 
new masterplanned 
communities and 
the expansion of 
existing communities 
represents a core part 
of the Group’s strategy 
to build a leading 
portfolio of land lease 
communities.

Ingenia 
Gardens

Residential Communities

The Ingenia Garden’s portfolio provides 
affordable seniors rental accommodation, 
delivering stable recurring cash flows 
underpinned by Government payments 
(pension and rent assistance).

Over the year 
the divestment 
of two non-core 
assets reduced the 
portfolio to a total 
of 25 communities 
with a value of $168 
million ($167 million 
at 30 June 2022). 

Rental revenue increased to 
$24.8 million and like for like 
rent grew 4.5% over the year, 
with average rent now at $370 
per week. The EBIT contribution 
decreased 9% to $10.5 million, 
impacted by divestments and 
cost growth across wages, 
utilities and rates. 

Ingenia Gardens communities 
continue to be attractive to 
residents, with a focus on 
ensuring residents enjoy living 
in a connected and engaged 
community. 

‘Ingenia Connect, a ‘concierge’ style service offered 
to residents for no charge, has continued to grow, 
assisting residents to age in place and supporting 
their health and wellbeing. Average resident tenure 
for Connect clients in Ingenia Gardens communities is 
now 4.5 years, above the 3.6 year portfolio average. 
Ingenia Connect now has 1,400 residents accessing 
the service, with more than 500 living in Ingenia 
Gardens communities.

The portfolio is continuing to deliver stable, 
government backed rents with the majority of 
residents receiving a government pension and rent 
assistance.

Ingenia Holidays and Mixed Use

The portfolio includes a range 
of accommodation, providing 
a diverse revenue base.

Annual sites, land 
lease and rental 
homes are offered 
at a number of 
communities, 
providing a base 
of stable revenue 
and increasing the 
Group’s exposure 
to rental cash flows.

The portfolio benefitted from growth through the 
acquisition of eleven parks over FY22 and the addition 
of additional homes and holiday cabins, increasing to 
$757.5 million, up from $693 million at 30 June 2022. 

The holidays business continues to perform strongly, 
with the majority of parks now being pet friendly and 
domestic travel continuing to be a popular family holiday 
in the face of rising living costs and the expense of 
international travel. As a result of increased demand and 
portfolio expansion, tourism rental increased 36% on 
the prior year, to $97.3 million. While tourism cabins and 
sites benefitted from the demand for domestic travel, the 
portfolio also grew the stable underlying revenue stream 
from the annual and permanent home sites situated 
across Mixed Use parks. 

The EBIT contribution was up 31% to $46.4 million.

The addition of ten parks in FY22, and the

added more than 1,900 income producing 
sites to the portfolio, including additional 
annual and permanent sites. The addition of 
a further 38 tourism cabins to existing parks 
has increased yield and introduced new 
accommodation types, including glamping 
tents, bell tents, new sustainable ModnPods 
and ‘air stream caravans’. 

While rate growth is expected to moderate 
in FY24, growth in occupancy through non-
peak periods and the ability to continue 
to build out revenue streams through the 
addition of new accommodation will deliver 
ongoing returns. The parks benefit from a 
strong base of ‘repeat’ holiday guests and 
are continuing to refine the accommodation 
mix within each community to ensure that 
individual assets maximise returns.

Entering FY24 the portfolio is experiencing 
greater demand in non-peak periods, 
which will support annualised occupancy 
growth. The portfolio will also benefit 
from increased scale, additional cabins, 
diverse locations and a focus on guest 
experience in FY24.

Capital Partnerships

Joint Venture with 
Sun Communities

The Joint Venture with US based 
Sun Communities was established 
in November 2018, providing the 
Group with a capital partner in the 
greenfield development of land lease 
communities. The Group has now 
agreed terms to extend this successful 
partnership for a further 7 years to 
November 2030.

In addition to a 50% ownership in the Joint Venture, 
Ingenia, as manager, receives fees for services provided 
to the Joint Venture. Ingenia has the right to acquire 
communities from the Joint Venture once they have 
been fully developed and jointly owned for a period 
of five years.

The 7-year extension of the Joint Venture not only 
secures capital to complete the existing developments 
but provides ongoing access to an aligned partner with 
global experience in land lease (manufactured home) 
communities.

The Joint Venture generated total revenue of $26.9 
million (up from $24.2 million in FY22), resulting in an 
operating profit of $8.5 million. Ingenia derived $3.1 
million of fee income for services provided to the Joint 
Venture in FY23.

These fees reflect growth in the Joint Venture as Ingenia 
continued to progress developments at Freshwater 
(Burpengary, QLD), which now has 131 completed homes, 
and Natura (Bobs Farm, NSW), where the first homes 
were settled in June 2023. Works are well underway 
at Element (Fullerton Cove, NSW) and the 606-home 
Archers Run community at Morisset (NSW), which have 
launches planned over FY24. 

A 13.6 hectare site on the Sunshine Coast (Nambour, 
QLD) where approval for 230 homes and associated 
facilities is in place will form the next development for 
the Joint Venture.

Further growth in the Joint Venture is expected in FY24 
as new developments deliver settlements.

The Funds Management business 
provides an opportunity to co-invest 
alongside Fund investors, providing 
an ownership interest in a broader 
portfolio, ability to leverage the 
Group’s established platform and 
enhanced returns.

In FY23 Ingenia derived $2.1 million in income 
from the funds business, comprising fee income 
of $1.6 million and distributions of $0.5 million. 

The five Funds are focused on established 
communities which deliver stable returns, comprising 
a range of holiday parks in NSW and Queensland. 

During FY23 the conversion of Coastal Palms on the 
NSW South Coast from a mixed use community to an 
Ingenia Lifestyle (land lease) community progressed, 
with settlement of ten new homes. This conversion 
is almost complete with the final homes to be 
constructed and settled over FY24.

The Group’s focus is on delivering performance for 
Fund investors through active management of the 
individual assets and leveraging Ingenia’s operating 
platform and brand presence.

The Directors of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (“ICH” or the “Company”) present their report together with the 
Company’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023 (the “current period”) and the Independent Auditor’s Report

entities, including Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“ICMT”)

subsidiary of the Company, is the responsible entity of the Trusts. In this report, the Company and the Trusts are referred to

reports.

Portfolio Refinement, Integration and Development Pipeline
During the year, the Group divested two Ingenia Gardens rental communities (Horsham, VIC and Tamworth, NSW), one 
holiday park (Swan Reach, VIC) and one Lifestyle Rental community (Lake Munmorah, NSW) in line with a focus on divesting 
non-core assets and recycling capital into the Group’s development pipeline. 

Over FY23, the Group continued to build the development pipeline, acquiring two new development projects (Sunbury, 
VIC and Gordonvale, QLD) and securing land adjacent to the existing Plantations, NSW community. These projects extend 
the development opportunity in key markets and will contribute settlements in the short to medium term in line with a focus 
on expanding the Group’s Ingenia Lifestyle portfolio.

The Group is well positioned for further expansion through development with 18 projects currently underway and 
7 communities expected to commence over FY24-25 and a pipeline of future opportunities. The portfolio will also achieve 
incremental expansion by continuing to add sites within existing communities. 

FY23 Financial Results
The year ended 30 June 2023 delivered total revenue of $394.5 million, up 17% on the prior year. Holidays and Mixed Use 
revenue increased by 31% driven by continued strong operational performance as a result of improved occupancy and 
rate coupled with the impact of acquisitions in FY22 and 1H23. Lifestyle Rental revenue increased 39% to $76.8 million 
attributable to high occupancy in the rental communities, increases in weekly rent and the full year impact of FY22 
settlements and assets acquired. The Group settled 3641 turnkey homes (30 Jun 2022: 4091 homes). 

Underlying profit of $84.7 million represents a decrease of $3.2 million (4%) on the prior year. Strong demand within the 
tourism platform, growth across the rentals business together with the integration of the FY22 acquisitions, increased the 
Group’s recurring rental base. A significant increase in interest expense to support investment in development activity offset 
this growth. 

Statutory profit of $64.4 million was down 33% on the prior year. The statutory result reflects a lower fair value uplift in the 
Group’s investment property portfolio compared to the prior year. 

Operating cash flow for the period was $82.5 million, down 28% from the prior year, predominantly driven by significant 
investment in inventory ahead of forecast settlements in FY24 and higher borrowing costs. Strong cashflows from the 
Lifestyle Rental and Holidays portfolios positively contributed to the operating cashflows for the year.

The Group’s net asset value (NAV) of $3.77 per security was up by 1% (30 Jun 2022 restated2: $3.72) and net tangible assets 
per security (NTA) increased 2% to $3.52 (30 Jun 2022 restated2: $3.46).

Segment performance and priorities

Residential

Ingenia Lifestyle Development
The Group delivered 318 new turnkey settlements (30 Jun 2022: 353) with a further 46 (30 Jun 2022: 56) settlements in 
the JV due to extended construction times resulting from industry wide labour shortages which limited home completions. 
Settlement volume reflected deterioration in buyer sentiment in the second half of the financial year as successive interest 
rate rises and cost of living expenses impacted consumer confidence and increased days on market. While new home 
settlements declined by 10% on FY22, the Group achieved a 4% increase in the gross new home development profit from 
higher margin premium homes. 

Development is currently underway at 18 communities and the Group has a strong development pipeline of 5,778 potential 
new home sites across 31 projects within Ingenia and the JV (30 Jun 2022: 6,580).

Demand remains resilient, with the lifestyle offering appealing to downsizers and positive responses to new project releases. 
Improved construction conditions and the availability of inventory supported a stronger second half and the ability to deliver 
settlements growth as residential market conditions improve.

Development and sales fees generated for services to the joint venture are reflected in other revenue. These fees increased 
materially in FY23 as new joint venture projects commenced.

The carrying value of the Ingenia Lifestyle Development investment property at 30 June 2023 is $275.3 million 
(30 Jun 2022: $272.9 million) with valuations moderating and home settlements resulting in the realisation of 
development value.

Strategic priorities
The key strategic priorities for Ingenia Lifestyle Development include: progressing construction on existing and new projects 
to deliver additional revenue for Ingenia and the JV; securing further development approvals for new homes within the 
current pipeline and on new properties recently acquired; integrating new building partners to support scale and growth 
of settlements; launching new projects to provide further diversity and scale; securing land adjacent to the Group’s existing 
communities; enhancing home and clubhouse designs to improve the sustainability of our communities; delivering an 
outstanding experience for new residents.

Ingenia Lifestyle Rental
At 30 June 2023, Ingenia Lifestyle Rental comprises 38 communities offering an attractive community lifestyle. Permanent 
rental income grew by 31% on the prior year driven by rental increases, acquisitions of new communities, new rental 
contracts from the settlement of new homes and investment in new rental cabins. Ingenia Lifestyle Rental EBIT increased 
34% to $35.9 million. 

During FY23, the Group continued to expand its rental assets by delivering 318 new settlements from its development 
business and benefited from the integration of assets acquired in FY22.

The Group added 62 new rental cabins across established communities at Chambers Pines, Durack and Eight Mile Plains. 

The carrying value of the Lifestyle Rental investment property at 30 June 2023 is $868.4 million (30 Jun 2022:

Ingenia Gardens
Ingenia Gardens comprises 25 rental communities located across the eastern seaboard and WA. Collectively, these 
communities offer 1,340 rental units. 

The portfolio maintained high occupancy with demand for affordable seniors rental accommodation continuing across the 
portfolio. On a comparative portfolio basis, rental growth was achieved at a rate aligned to growth in the aged pension. 
EBIT was impacted by higher staff costs driven by award wage increases, and the divestment of two communities during 
the year.

The carrying value of Ingenia Gardens assets at 30 June 2023 is $168.0 million (30 Jun 2022: $167.2 million).

Tourism

Ingenia Holidays and Mixed Use
At 30 June 2023, the Ingenia Holidays portfolio comprises 32 holiday communities that offer holiday accommodation, 
annual sites and permanent homes. 

The Group continues to refine and consolidate the portfolio with the divestment of Ingenia Holidays Swan Reach, VIC; the 
installation of 38 new tourism cabins and the integration of 11 holiday parks acquired over FY22 and FY23. As part of the 
portfolio refinement, the Group has identified further non-core assets for sale (Lake Hume, NSW and Broulee, NSW).

Tourism rental income increased 36% and EBIT increased by 31%, driven by improved occupancy and rate together with the 
addition of new holiday parks to the portfolio. Tourism demand continues to perform at levels above pre-pandemic trading. 
The portfolio also benefitted from revenue growth from permanent and annual homes which provide diversity of revenue 
and a stable rent base within mixed use communities.

The carrying value of the Group’s Holidays investment property at 30 June 2023 is $733.9 million (30 Jun 2022: 
$670.70 million).

Capital Partnerships
Capital partnerships through co-investment and shared funding enables the Group to leverage the existing business 
platform, generate fee income and extend the Group’s asset base. With a wide pipeline of opportunities before the Group, 
there is potential to expand and extend capital partnering to support future acquisitions, enhance development, and enable 
portfolio refinement and growth.

Development Joint Venture
The JV with Sun Communities (NYSE: SUI) leverages Ingenia’s capability to generate fees for the Group’s services and 
expand its development exposure via co-investment. As at 30 June 2023, the JV has invested in five projects with four under 
active development.

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued Ingenia Communities Holdings Ltd Annual Report 2023Directors’ ReportRemuneration ReportFinancial StatementsSustainabilityYear in ReviewBoard of Directors54

The JV delivered $26.9 million (30 Jun 2022: $24.2 million) of revenue, which includes the settlement of 46 (30 Jun 2022: 
56) new homes at Burpengary, QLD and Bobs Farm, NSW. Construction of homes has commenced at Fullerton Cove, NSW 
the JV’s third project which will launch in FY24.

During FY23, fees generated by Ingenia from the Joint Venture relate to acquisition and management. Development and 
sales fees are reflected in the Lifestyle Development segment.

Strategic priorities
The strategic priority for the JV is to progress the development of its existing projects, delivering increased home 
settlements and rental cash flows. The JV leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, 
acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia provides operational services to the communities. At completion of 
development, Ingenia has the right to acquire the communities at market value.

Funds Management
The Group’s funds and asset management business manages five funds that invest in lifestyle and holiday communities 
situated in NSW and QLD. The Group receives fees for the management and development of the assets and management of 
the funds.

The Group also co-invests in each of the five funds, ensuring alignment with fund investors. The investment in the funds 
generates asset ownership and development revenue streams. 

The decline in fee income is due to the divestment of the assets within one of the funds in FY22. The assets were acquired 
by Ingenia following approval from the Fund’s shareholders. This transaction generated a performance fee and a gain on the 
Group’s co-investment.

Investment property book value increased by $107.7 million from 30 June 2022 as a result of the investment in capital works 
within communities under development and new acquisitions, offset by disposals of $53.0 million and the transfer of assets 
held for sale.

Borrowings increased by $166.1 million as the Group rebuilt its inventory, acquired development sites and invested in 
additional rental and tourism cabins across the portfolio.

Operating cash flow for the Group was down 28% to $82.5 million, due to the impact of increased construction timeframes 
from industry wide related shortages and lower home settlements rate. Additionally, the Group continued to invest in 
inventory to support FY24 settlements. This was offset by strong performance in the tourism portfolio and growth in the 
rental portfolio.

Distributions
The following distributions were made during or in respect of the year:

 – On 21 February 2023, the Directors declared an interim distribution of 5.2 cps, amounting to $21.2 million which was paid on 

23 March 2023.

 – On 22 August 2023, the Directors declared a final distribution of 5.8 cps amounting to $23.6 million, to be paid on

Likely Developments
The Group will continue to pursue strategies aimed at the 
longer term growth of its cash earnings, profitability and 
market share within the lifestyle, rental and tourism sectors 
through:

 – Developing greenfield sites in identified growth corridors 

and expanding existing lifestyle and rental communities;

 – Ongoing co-investment through the Group’s capital 
partnerships to fund growth and leverage scale and 
capability; and

 – Divesting non-core assets to further support investment 

in growth and portfolio refinement.

Detailed information about operations of the Group is 
included in the various reports in this financial report.

Environmental Regulations
The Group has policies and procedures in place to ensure 
that, where operations are subject to any particular and 
significant environmental regulation under the laws of 
Australia, those obligations are identified and appropriately 
addressed. The Directors have determined that there has 
not been any material breach of those obligations during 
the financial year.

Group Indemnities
The Group has purchased various insurance policies to 
cover a range of risks (subject to specified exclusions) for 
directors, officers and employees of the Group serving in 
their respective capacities. Key insurance policies include: 
directors and officers insurance, professional indemnity 
insurance and management liability insurance.

Indemnification of Auditor
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed 
to indemnify its auditor, Ernst & Young, as part of the terms 
of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third 
parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). 
No payment has been made to indemnify Ernst & Young 
during or since the reporting period.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as 
required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 
is set out on page 73.

FY24 outlook
The Group’s lifestyle rental business remains well placed 
for ongoing expansion with strong demand from an ageing 
population and growing demand for affordable community 
based living. Residents are increasingly seeking quality 
community living and affordable rental accommodation 
in metro, coastal and regional markets which the Group 
is well positioned to deliver, with 18 communities under 
construction and additional sites in planning or under 
review. Accelerated development activity, acquisitions 
over FY22 and FY23 which increased the rental base 
and investment in inventory capitalises on this demand, 
enabling the long-term sustainable generation of rental 
cash flows. Ingenia will continue to grow its Lifestyle 
business through its development pipeline, generating 
attractive returns, stable, resilient cashflows and increased 
scale. Investing in new rental homes also remains a 
key priority for the Group to build out cash flows in 
established communities.

Demand for domestic tourism is expected to continue 
and Ingenia is positioned to benefit with an extensive 
portfolio located in attractive holiday destinations. The 
priority for Ingenia Holidays is to enhance the customer 
experience by refurbishing existing cabins, investing in 
new accommodation and targeting growth in non-peak 
occupancy.

The Group’s strong balance sheet and focus on recycling 
capital through the sale of non-core assets provide 
continuing capacity for growth and sector leadership. 
The Group will also increase its asset base through capital 
partnerships, including the ongoing development activity 
in the JV as new projects contribute settlements and fees. 
Co-investment via capital partnership will remain a driver 
for growth, enabling a wider exposure to asset acquisitions 
and opportunities.

Ingenia will continue to deliver on its environmental 
commitments as the Group targets net zero emissions 
(Scope 1 and 2) by 2035 and the development of 
sustainable communities.

The Group will regularly assess market opportunities and 
the performance of existing assets, divesting and acquiring 
assets where superior longer-term returns are available.

On behalf of the Board and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (“RNC”), I am pleased to 
present our Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2023

Sally Evans 

Chair, Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Ingenia has experienced a mixed year in which successive interest rate rises and construction industry delays impacted 
settlements while simultaneously the business experienced strong demand in our rental, core lifestyle and holidays 
segments. The management team demonstrated agility and resilience in the way they adapted to this situation with a range 
of initiatives to address the challenges leading to changes in the priorities for the second half of the year. These initiatives 
are ongoing in FY24 delivering increased certainty over build schedules and greater leverage of our operating scale. We 
also made good progress on our ESG agenda with a particular focus on developing our initial Reconciliation Action Plan, 
emission reduction plans and we continue to set the standard on executive and board gender diversity.

Ingenia is a pioneer of the land lease sector which is experiencing increased competition for experienced leaders as new 
competitors enter our market. This competition, combined with the broader war for experienced people, has warranted 
us taking a holistic approach to retention through investment in building capabilities, career development, and succession 
planning, in addition to ensuring we are remunerating our people competitively.

The health, wellbeing and engagement of our people will always be a key focus. During FY23 we recognised the increasing 
cost of living pressures faced by our people and made the decision to bring forward the Hospitality Award increase from 
October 2022 to July 2022. In addition, for the sixth year in a row, we awarded the majority of our people with Ingenia 
securities via the INVEST Plan at a value of $500. Furthermore, we have invested more into our Employee Assistance, 
Mental Health First Aid programs and Whistleblower Hotline. We are very pleased with the outcomes from the investment in 
leadership development and culture.

Ingenia continues to be a leader in gender diversity and have maintained at a Board and executive level the benchmark 
target mix of 40% men, 40% women and 20% either. We ranked third in the Chief Executive Women award for executive 
gender diversity in the ASX 300. As we move into the new financial year, we are amplifying our culture of belonging and 
identifying pathways for creating employment opportunities for disadvantaged groups. With a focus on sustainability, 
we have increased the attention for ESG, and incorporated metrics linked to this achievement in executive scorecards. 
We produced our first Climate Disclosure Report and continued to implement our solar strategy. To support our focus on 
waste reduction we have implemented recycling stations at the majority of our holiday parks. Through an upgrade to hot 
water systems, we have seen a reduction in running costs for residents. In addition, we are delighted to report we have 
commenced construction at three communities targeting a Green star rating, including Beveridge which will be our first 
Green Star Homes Community.

Remuneration framework
The remuneration framework remains fit for purpose. The only change will be from FY24, when we will cease to issue 
performance rights which attract a distribution entitlement. Our executive pay comprises Fixed Pay, Short-Term Incentive 
(STI) and Long-Term Incentive (LTI) components and is designed to ensure executives have a significant proportion of 
remuneration at risk, which is payable on the delivery of positive outcomes for security holders. We undertake a detailed 
market benchmarking of director fees and executive pay. Each Ingenia position is benchmarked against similar roles from a 
peer group of companies that reflect our industry, capitalisation, revenue, and asset levels. The Board has a formal Discretion 
Framework which reflects best practice and ASIC guidance and requires the Board to consider the application of discretion 
in the context of outcomes for other stakeholders, including security holders, customers, and the communities in which 
we operate.

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued Directors’ Report59

Remuneration outcomes for FY23
The Board made FY23 remuneration decisions based on recommendations from the Remuneration & Nominations 
Committee after considering input from Guerdon Associates, an independent remuneration specialist firm.

The CEO’s fixed remuneration was below the peer group benchmark and as such received a 9% increase through a cash 
adjustment and an equity grant of Fixed Remuneration Rights. His STI opportunity moved to 95% (previously 80%) and 
LTI opportunity remained at 85% of fixed remuneration. The equity grants were approved by unit holders at the November 
2022 Annual General Meeting. The CIO & GC fixed remuneration was below the peer group benchmark and as such 
received an 11% increase. Her STI opportunity moved to 60% (previously 45%) and LTI opportunity remained at 60% of fixed 
remuneration.

STI outcomes are aligned to operational and strategic business objectives and demonstrated leadership behaviours. Whilst 
formulaic KPI targets and requirements remained unchanged, discretion was applied to KPI weightings to reflect the 
mid-year changes in priorities responding to market conditions. FY23 Short-Term Incentives were awarded to KMPs in the 
range of 65% to 75% of maximum. STIs are deferred 67% for the CEO and 50% for CIO & GC. The Board determined that the 
profit sustainability threshold had been met to allow FY22 deferred STIs to vest in full.

As foreshadowed in last year’s report, and approved at our November 2022 AGM, the non-executive director fee pool 
increased for the first time in ten years to $1,600,000. Board fees were increased in FY23 to align with the benchmark peer 
group and total cost of fees was $980,708.

Our FY20 LTI award vested at 40%, with the relative TSR tranche at maximum and underlying EPS growth and ROE 
tranches at zero. The Board did not apply any discretion on this outcome. The FY21 LTI awards will be formally tested on 
30 September 2023 and disclosed in the FY24 Remuneration Report, however our forecast indication is these will not vest. 

In summary, I believe our remuneration framework and outcomes for the year deliver a balanced and fair outcome for all 
stakeholders in a particularly challenging market.

Executive Changes and Succession Planning
In December, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Scott Noble left Ingenia although he remained available as required. During 
the year, as part of building depth and breadth in the executive team, we appointed a new CFO, Justin Mitchell, who 
commenced in early July 2023. 

In addition, we appointed a Chief Customer Officer and Chief Information and Technology Officer with the purpose of 
positioning the leadership team for significant scale growth and effective business operation. We have also commenced a 
planned transition process for Non-Executive Directors as part of normal board governance.

Looking ahead
The RNC continues to review our people practices, remuneration framework and metrics to ensure we focus on growth and 
development of our people, building strong capable leaders and to ensure it remains fit for purpose. In doing so, we are 
mindful of feedback from investors, the material increase in the scale and scope of the business and growing competition for 
experienced people with the entry of new competitors into the land lease sector. Some areas of focus for FY24:

 – Evaluation of our LTI design, to apply from FY25, giving consideration to our evolving business focus. 

 – Assessment of our operating model, placing greater focus on net operating income as a value driver.

 – Further investment in our people development to grow internal talent and reduce reliance on external recruitment.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

Introduction
The Board is pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2023, which forms 
part of the Directors’ Report and has been prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) 
(Corporations Act). The data provided in the Remuneration Report was audited as required under section 308(3C) of the 
Corporations Act.

1.  Remuneration Governance

1.1.  Remuneration Policy
The Group’s Remuneration Policy aims to ensure that remuneration packages properly reflect the person’s duties and 
responsibilities, and are competitive in attracting, retaining, and motivating high calibre people.

The structure of remuneration, as explained below, is designed to retain, and attract talent, reward the achievement of 
strategic and operational objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of long-term value creation for security holders. 

The remuneration structures consider a range of factors, including the following:

 – market benchmarking based on the size and scope of the role

 –

 –

 –

 –

the Board’s view of strategic priorities (balancing short-term and long-term performance)

level of experience (developing or established in the role) and contribution and value to the business (flight risk, 
replaceability, succession planning)

the desire to motivate, retain and reward staff for high performance; and

expectations of stakeholders, including investors, staff, and regulators.

In line with our Discretion Framework the RNC considers the need to apply discretion at least annually and makes 
recommendations to the Board, which retains full discretion over remuneration. 

1.2.  Link between remuneration and performance
The Board aims to ensure alignment between the executive KMP remuneration policy and the Group’s performance. 
Executive KMP remuneration packages are structured to align remuneration outcomes with the interests of security holders 
and the achievement of strategic objectives. 

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued Directors’ Report61

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 
The components of remuneration and their link to Group performance is outlined in the table below:

Principles

Remuneration Component

Measure

Fixed remuneration 
should be fair, 
competitive and 
benchmarked to 
comparable market 
roles.

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) 
Annual salary, calculated on a total cost basis 
to include salary-packaged benefits grossed up 
for FBT, employer superannuation contributions, 
Fixed Remuneration Rights (FRR) and other 
non-cash benefits that may be agreed from time 
to time.

External benchmarking is reviewed by 
independent remuneration specialists 
Guerdon Associates.

The RNC reviews and makes 
recommendations to the Board in relation to 
TFR levels for executive KMP at least annually.

STIs are awarded to executive KMP whose 
achievements, behaviour and focus meet 
the Group’s business plan and individual Key 
Performance Indicators (KPI’s) measured 
over the financial year. 

KPIs comprise financial and non-financial 
metrics and overall behaviours.

Short-Term Incentive (STIs)
For achievement of STIs in relation to executive 
KMP, the payment is:

CEO: 33% cash and 67% deferred equity 
rights

CIO & GC: 50% cash and 50% deferred 
equity rights

STI equity rights are deferred for 12 months. 
The deferral element is rights to INA stapled 
securities. 

STI equity rights vest subject to a Board 
assessment and a malus provision during the 
deferral period where Rights may be forfeited if 
underlying earnings growth is not sustainable or 
circumstances set out in the Rights Plan Rules 
occur (such as fraud, dishonesty, a breach of 
obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s 
financial position). 

A significant 
portion of 
remuneration 
should be ‘at risk’ 
and awarded 
to executives 
based on the 
achievement of 
agreed objectives 
and hurdles.

Remuneration 
should be aligned 
to the interests of 
all security holders 
and build ownership 
and alignment.

The Board 
maintains sole 
discretion over 
the granting of 
equity rights as 
remuneration to 
employees.

Long-Term Incentive (LTIs)
LTI equity rights are granted to executive KMP 
to align their focus with the Group’s strategy and 
overall financial outcomes. 

LTI grants are made in equity rights to ensure 
alignment with security holders’ interests. 

LTI performance conditions are as follows:

 – Relative Total Security holder Return 

(TSR) measured over three financial years.

 – Return on Equity (ROE) performance 

measured in the third year following the 
LTI grant.

 – Underlying Earnings per Security (EPS) 

growth over three financial years. 

 – Group settlements growth measured in 
the third year following the LTI grant. 

Other Employee Ownership Schemes

The Ingenia Valued 
Employees Share 
Take up Plan 
(INVEST Plan)

The purpose of the INVEST Plan is to recognise and reward the contribution of our people 
by granting employees an ownership interest in Ingenia, in the form of INA securities. Eligible 
employees include full time or part-time employees of the Group, with at least 12 months service 
as at the date of invitation. Any employee, other than an employee who participates in a Group 
long term incentive plan, may participate in the Plan. The INVEST Plan has been offered to 
eligible employees since 2017.

Talent Rights Grant 
(TRG)

The purpose of the TRG is retaining and incentivising employees who have been identified as 
having a key role in the successful achievement of the Group’s strategy. To vest, the TRG Rights 
are subject to the Group’s Rights Plan, employees remaining in service and their satisfactory 
performance.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)

1.3.  Rights Plan
The current Rights Plan was approved by security holders at the AGM held on 17 November 2022. The Rights Plan provides 
for the grant of Rights, which upon a determination by the Board that the performance conditions have been met, will result 
in the issue of stapled securities in the Group for each Right. 

The Rights Plan provides for the grant of Fixed Remuneration Rights, Short-Term Incentive Rights and Long-Term 
Incentive Rights and Talent Rights to KMPs and other eligible employees. The Rights Plan permits the issuance of rights to 
Non-Executive Directors. However, there is no intention to issue rights to Non-Executive Directors and this will be removed 
when the Rights Plan is submitted for security holder approval in November 2023.

Each vested Right is equal to one Ingenia security plus an additional number of Ingenia securities calculated based on the 
distributions that would have been paid during the relevant period being reinvested. This entitlement only accrues on Rights 
that vest and is paid in the form of additional Rights at the time of vesting. Rights issued from FY24 will no longer receive 
this distribution adjustment.

that was granted to Mr Noble, refer to section 4.1 for additional information.

2.3.  Total fixed remuneration of Executive KMP
Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) is an annual salary, calculated on a total cost basis to include salary-packaged benefits 
grossed up for fringe benefits tax (FBT), employer superannuation contributions and other non-cash benefits that may be 
agreed from time to time.

The RNC reviews and makes recommendations to the Board in relation to TFR levels for executive KMP at least 
annually. Policy is to position TFR appropriately for each individual taking into account their role, experience, tenure and 
responsibilities, so that an individual’s TFR may be below, at or above the median. RNC recommendations were approved by 
the Board.

For the 2023 financial year, TFR increases are shown in the table below. The increase in CEO remuneration was partly in the 
form of 55,335 (30 Jun 2022: 34,628) Fixed Remuneration Rights (FRR’s) which were issued following investor approval at

In considering the STI outcomes equal weighting is given to both results and behaviours. Furthermore, whilst formulaic KPI 
targets and requirements remained unchanged, discretion was applied to KPI weightings to reflect the mid-year changes in 
priorities responding to market conditions. 

FY23 Short-Term Incentives were awarded to KMPs in the range of 65% to 75% of the maximum. Under the STI Plan, 33% of 
the outcome for the CEO and 50% for the CIO & GC will be paid in cash, with the balance deferred. 

The STI Equity Rights are subject to the following terms and conditions:

 – A one-year deferral period and are eligible to vest on the date that is 12 months following the grant date.

 – A profit sustainability and ‘malus’ provision during the deferral period.

 – From the vesting date the executive may exercise their rights and have the relevant number of Ingenia securities issued 
in accordance with a prescribed formula; no amount is payable by the executive KMP for the issue or transfer of Ingenia 
securities to the executive KMP.

STIP Rights remained on foot with the expense recognised in full during FY23. Refer to section 2.6 for further detail. 

2.5.  Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The objective of the Group’s LTIP is to align the ‘at risk’ compensation of executives with long-term security holder returns 
whilst also acting as a mechanism to retain key talent. 

Details of the FY22 LTIP Performance Conditions can be found in the 30 June 2022 Remuneration Report, available on the 
Group’s website.

FY23 LTIP Rights will vest subject to the following Performance Conditions, consistent with the grant of rights to the CEO/MD 
approved by securityholders at the November 2022 Annual General Meeting.

Relative TSR Performance Condition (25%)
The relative TSR performance condition assesses INA’s percentile performance ranking against the constituents of the 
S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index. 

TSR is the growth in the security price plus distributions, assuming distributions are reinvested. To minimise the impact of 
any short-term volatility, lngenia’s TSR will be calculated using the volume-weighted average of the closing security price 
over the 30 days up to and including the trading day prior to the start and the 30 days up to and including the end trading 
day of the LTI Performance Period (being from 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2025). Performance will be measured 
relative to the TSR of companies comprising the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index over 3 years.

ROE Performance Condition (25%)
The ROE Performance Condition is intended to focus executive KMP on improving medium to long-term return on investment.

ROE is defined as underlying profit (as disclosed in annual reports) divided by the weighted average net assets (excluding 
the impact of asset revaluations on net assets between the FY23 LTIP Rights issue date and the FY23 LTIP Rights vesting 
date). The Board has discretion to exclude the dilutive impact of acquisitions or capital raisings that are considered in the 
best interests of the company if these occur within the final 12 months of the performance period. Any discretion applied will 
be disclosed. For FY23, the relevant metric is ROE achieved for FY25 on the following basis:

EPS Performance Condition (25%)
EPS is defined as underlying profit (as disclosed in annual reports) divided by the weighted average number of securities 
over the financial year. The Board has discretion to exclude the dilutive impact of acquisitions or capital raisings that are

The FY23 LTIP methodology determines security value as the VWAP of Ingenia securities in the 30-day trading period 
ending on 1 October 2022. The number of LTIP Rights granted in FY23 was calculated by dividing the LTIP award by the 
security value (as defined above). 

From the vesting date, FY23 LTIP Rights grants may be exercised and have the relevant number of Ingenia securities issued 
in accordance with a prescribed formula; no amount is payable by the executive KMP for the issue or transfer of Ingenia 
securities to the executive KMP. The Board aims to have executive KMP incentivised to grow distributions to security holders. 
Executives do not receive distributions (cash or accrued) on securities underlying any Rights that do not vest or remain 
unexercised.

LTIPs Awarded in FY23
FY20 LTIP rights were tested on 1 October 2022 resulting in the combined vesting of 86,404 rights for Mr Owen, Ms Kwok, 
and Mr Noble.

The Board did not apply any discretion in this outcome.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued)

3.  Non-executive Directors’ Remuneration

The Group’s remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) aims to ensure that the Group attracts and retains 
suitably skilled and experienced individuals to serve on the Board and to remunerate them appropriately for their time, 
expertise and responsibilities and liabilities as public company directors. 

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to 
Board and Committee remuneration, considering the size and scope of the Group’s activities and the responsibilities and 
liabilities of directors. In developing its recommendations, the Committee may take advice from external consultants.

NEDs are remunerated by way of cash and mandated superannuation. They do not participate in performance-based 
remuneration plans unless approved by security holders. The Group currently has no intention to remunerate NEDs by any 
way other than cash benefits.

The Board has introduced a policy guideline for NEDs to hold the equivalent of one year’s gross fees in Ingenia securities 
within a period of three years from the date of appointment. Once this hurdle has been met, NEDs are considered compliant 

with this guideline. All independent NEDs have self-funded the purchase of Ingenia securities on market as shown below in 

section 3.2.

3.1.  Non-Executive Directors’ Fees
The NED fee is reviewed annually with any changes effective 1 December. Annual NED fees, inclusive of superannuation, are 
detailed below:

approved at the November 2022 AGM. Total remuneration paid to Directors in FY23 was $980,708. 

The following table outlines the remuneration provided to NEDs for FY23 and FY22, inclusive of superannuation, and 
their compliance with the policy outlined above in relation to self-funding a security holding in excess of one year’s gross 
Director fees.

4.  Other Remuneration Information

4.1.  Remuneration governance
The Board has an established RNC, which is directly responsible for reviewing and recommending remuneration 
arrangements for non-executive directors (NEDs), the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and senior 
executives who report directly to the CEO. 

The RNC comprises the following, independent NEDs:

 – Sally Evans (Chair);

 – Robert Morrison;

 – Amanda Heyworth.

The RNC provides oversight for KMP and other executives, ensuring remuneration is set at appropriate levels to access the 
skills and capabilities the Group needs to operate successfully. 

The RNC operates under the delegated authority of the Board for some matters related to remuneration arrangements for 
both executives and non-executives and is required to make recommendations to the Board. The RNC also reviews and 
makes recommendations to the Board on incentive schemes. 

Other responsibilities of the RNC include: oversee the management of culture; review and monitor the succession plan for 
the Executive team; review and oversee implementation of the Group’s diversity and inclusion strategy; monitor and oversee 
talent development and employee engagement initiatives.

The RNC is required to meet regularly throughout the year (a minimum of twice per year) and considers recommendations 
from management and external advisors. 

The Board is ultimately responsible for decisions made on recommendations from the RNC. 

Use of discretion
Discretion adjustments are only made in exceptional circumstances which would have a material impact on reward 
and incentive outcomes. Such adjustments seek to align executive outcomes with company performance and investor 
experience, taking into account fairness for all stakeholders (investors, customers, employees, regulators, and the 
community), and any breaches of reporting, audit, risk, compliance, or regulatory obligations. 

During FY23, the Board exercised its discretion in relation to Mr Noble’s separation, paying his notice period of 6 months 
$250,000 and an ex-gratia payment of 4 months $166,667 in exchange for him being available as required. In addition, his 
unvested Rights remain on foot, subject to performance conditions. The maximum value of the unvested Rights is $214,011. 

Discretion was applied to the KPI outcomes as they related to STI, with an overlay of performance factors not specifically 
captured in the scorecard and which reflected a change in priorities in the second half of the year. 

No discretion was applied in relation to LTI outcome.

External remuneration advisers
Guerdon Associates, initially engaged in March 2014, provided independent remuneration advice during FY23 in respect 
of KMP. Guerdon Associates have been commissioned by, engaged with, and addressed reports directly to the Chair of 
the RNC.

The Board is satisfied that the remuneration advice from Guerdon Associates was made free from undue influence of the 
KMP in respect of whom the advice related. A declaration of independence from Guerdon Associates was provided to the 
Board in respect of their engagement and their reports to the RNC.

While remuneration services were received, no remuneration recommendations as defined under Division 1, Part 1.2.98B of 
the Corporations Act, were made by Guerdon Associates.

Treatment of Rights
Subject to Board discretion (including on cessation of employment), fraud or dishonesty, reorganisations and divestment, 
change of control and Board powers, a Right granted under the Rights Plan will not vest unless the conditions advised to the 
Participant have been satisfied. The Board may, in its discretion, determine that a Right vests prior to the date specified by 
the Board. 

Subject to the Board’s overriding discretion, an unvested Right granted to a Participant will lapse upon the earliest to occur of: 

 –

 –

 –

 –

the date specified by the Board; 

an event relating to title of the rights, cessation of employment (if determined by the Board in its discretion), fraud or 
dishonesty, reorganisations and divestments or change of control; 

failure to meet the conditions by the end of the Period; or

the fifteenth anniversary of the date the Right was granted. 

Where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group, the Participant may continue to hold 
those unvested Rights unless or until the Board exercises its discretion to determine that some or all of those Rights:

 –

 –

 –

 –

 –

lapse;

are forfeited;

vest (immediately or subject to conditions);

are only exercisable for a specified period, and will otherwise lapse; or

are no longer subject to some of the restrictions (including Vesting Conditions) that previously applied.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2023

1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

(a)  The Group
The financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings 
Limited (the “Company”) comprises the consolidated 
financial report of the Company and its controlled entities, 
including Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) 
and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“ICMT”) 
(collectively, the “Trusts”). The shares of the Company 
are stapled with the units of the Trusts and trade on 
the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) effectively 
as one security. Ingenia Communities RE Limited 
(“ICRE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 
is the Responsible Entity of the Trusts. In this report, the 
Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively as 
the Group.

The constitutions of the Company and the Trusts require 
that, for as long as they remain jointly quoted on the ASX, 
the number of shares in the Company and of units in each 
trust shall remain equal and those security holders in the 
Company and unitholders in each trust shall be identical.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to 
occur of:

 –

 –

the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by 
special resolution in accordance with its constitution to 
terminate the stapling provisions; or

the commencement of the winding up of the Company 
or either of the Trusts.

The financial report as at and for the year ended 
30 June 2023 was authorised for issue by the Directors 
on 22 August 2023.

(b)  Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, 
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the AASB and International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board.

As permitted by Instrument 2015/838, issued by the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the 
financial statements and accompanying notes of the Group 
have been presented in the attached combined financial 
report.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 
and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand 
dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated as permitted by 
Instrument 2016/191.

The financial report is prepared on a historical cost 
basis, except for investment properties, residents’ loans, 
derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and 
other financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.

Prior year restatement - correction of an error
The prior year balances have been corrected for two errors:

Restatement of deferred tax liabilities

1. 
Deferred tax liabilities have been adjusted against opening 
retained earnings resulting from not previously recognised 
deferred tax expenses associated with investment 
properties. This restatement has resulted in an increase 
of deferred tax liabilities and a reduction in the opening 
retained earnings of $10.1 million for the comparative year.

2. 

 Restatement related to the recognition of a non-
current provision

In November 2021, the Group entered into an agreement to 
acquire an investment property. As part of this transaction 
a liability arose that would be paid over a period of two 
years. This liability was not recorded in the prior year 
financial statements. A restatement has been recorded 
to recognise a non-current liability of $4.8 million with 
a corresponding reduction to the fair value gain on 
investment property in the income statement.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(c) 

 Adoption of new and revised accounting 
standards

New accounting standards, amendments to accounting 
standards, and interpretations have been published that 
are not mandatory for the current reporting period and 
are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s 
future financial reporting.

(d)  Principles of consolidation
The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise 
the Company and its subsidiaries (including the Trusts). 
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose 
entities) over which the Company or the Trusts have the 
power to govern the financial and operating policies, so as 
to obtain benefits from their activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the parent, using 
consistent accounting policies. Intercompany balances and 
transactions, including dividends and unrealised gains and 
losses from intragroup transactions, have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the 
parent obtains control. They are deconsolidated from the 
date that control ceases.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the 
parent’s financial statements.

The Company was incorporated on 24 November 2011. 
In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business 
Combinations, the stapling of the Company and the Trusts 
was regarded as a business combination. Under AASB 3, 
the stapling was accounted for as a reverse acquisition 
with ICF “acquiring” the Company and the Company 
subsequently being identified as the ongoing parent for 
preparing consolidated financial reports. Consequently, the 
consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the 
financial statements of the Trusts, and include the results of 
the Company from the date of incorporation.

(e)  Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the 
acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured 
as the fair value aggregate of the consideration transferred 
at acquisition. For each business combination, the Group 
elects whether to measure the non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree at fair value or the proportionate share of 
the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs are 
expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses financial 
assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification 
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, 
economic circumstances, and pertinent conditions as at 
the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree 
is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through 
profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of 
the aggregate consideration transferred and the amount 
recognised for non-controlling interest over the fair value 
of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that it 
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised 
when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount, calculated as the higher of fair value 
less costs of disposal and the value in use. Impairment 
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is 
monitored for management purposes and allocated to 
cash generating units (“CGU”). The assumptions used for 
determining the recoverable amount of the CGU are based 
on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and 
external sources of data and relevant market trends.

(f)  Assets held for sale
Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying value will be recovered principally through a 
sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

They are measured at the lower of their carrying value 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

The liabilities of an asset classified as held for sale are 
presented separately from other liabilities on the face of 
the balance sheet. Details of assets and liabilities held for 
sale are given at Note 10.

(g)  Dividends and distributions
A liability for any dividend or distribution declared on or 
before the end of the reporting period is recognised on 
the balance sheet, in the reporting period to which the 
dividend or distribution pertains.

(h)  Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currencies
The presentation currency of the Group, and functional 
currency of the Company, is the Australian dollar.

Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in 
the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currency are retranslated at 
the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance date. All 
differences in the consolidated financial report are taken 
to the statement of comprehensive income, with the 
exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings 
designated as a hedge against a net investment in a foreign 
entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal 
of the net investment at which time they are recognised in 
the statement of comprehensive income.

A non-monetary item that is measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency is translated using the exchange rates at 
the date when the fair value was determined.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(i)  Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group 
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of 
lease payments to be made over the lease term.

The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease 
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend 
on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid 
under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also 
include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably 
certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of 
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects 
the Group exercising the option to terminate.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. After 
the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is 
increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced 
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Group’s lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (Note 20).

Leases for investment property which apply the fair value 
model are classified as investment property per AASB 140 
Investment Properties.

(j)  Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such 
cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, 
plant and equipment, and borrowing costs for long-term 
construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. 
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment 
require replacing at intervals, the Group recognises 
such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives 
and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a 
major inspection is performed, the cost is recognised 
in the carrying value of the plant and equipment as a 
replacement, if the recognition criteria are satisfied. 
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised 
in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the 
expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after 
its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the 
recognition criteria for a provision are met.

(k)  Financial assets and liabilities
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities 
within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are 
classified as; fair value through profit or loss; fair value 
through other comprehensive income; or amortised 
cost. The Group determines the classification of its 
financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition with 
the classification depending on the purpose for which 
the asset or liability was acquired or issued. Financial 
assets and liabilities are initially recognised at fair value 
plus directly attributable transaction costs, unless their 
classification is at fair value through profit or loss. They 
are subsequently measured at fair value or amortised cost 
using the effective interest method.

The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in 
organised financial markets are determined by reference to 
quoted market bid prices at close of business on balance 
sheet date. For those with no active market, fair values are 
determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques 
include: using recent arm’s length market transactions; 
reference to the current market value of another 
substantially similar instruments; discounted cash flow 
analysis; option pricing models; making use of available and 
supportable market data and keeping judgemental inputs 
to a minimum.

Impairment of non-financial assets

(l) 
Assets other than investment property carried at fair 
value are tested for impairment whenever events or 
circumstance changes indicate that the carrying value may 
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for 
the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds 
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the 
higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the 
cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Non-
financial assets excluding goodwill which have suffered 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at each reporting date.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(m)  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet and cash 
flow statements comprise cash at bank, cash in hand, and 
short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash, and subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.

(n)  Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
original invoice amount, and subsequently adjusted for 
ECL. An allowance is recognised by analysing the age 
of outstanding balances and applying historical default 
percentages. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward-looking observable data affecting the 
ability of customers to settle their debts.

Inventories

(o) 
The Group holds inventory in relation to the acquisition and 
development of lifestyle homes, as well as service station 
fuel and supplies.

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value.

Costs of inventories comprise all acquisition costs, costs 
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the 
inventories to their present location and condition. 
Inventory includes work in progress and raw materials used 
in the production of lifestyle home units.

Net realisable value is determined based on an estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business less 
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs 
necessary to make the sale.

(p)  Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such 
as interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated 
with interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial 
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on 
the date the contract is entered and are subsequently 
remeasured to fair value and included in the statement of 
comprehensive income in the period they arise, including 
the corresponding tax effect.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at measurement date, in 
the principal market for the asset or liability, or the most 
advantageous market in its absence. In determining the 
fair value of certain assets, recent market offers have been 
taken into consideration.

It is the Group’s policy to have all investment properties 
independently valued at intervals of not more than two 
years. It is the policy of the Group to review the fair value 
of each investment property every six months and revalue 
investment properties to fair value when their carrying 
value materially differs to their fair values.

In determining fair values, the Group considers relevant 
information including the capitalisation of rental streams 
using market assessed capitalisation rates, expected 
net cash flows discounted to their present value using 
market determined risk-adjusted discount rates, and 
other available market data such as recent comparable 
transactions. The assessment of fair value of investment 
properties does not take into account potential capital 
gains tax assessable.

Intangible assets

(r) 
An intangible asset arising from software development 
expenditure is recognised only when the Group can 
demonstrate: the technical feasibility of completing the 
intangible asset so that it will be available for use; how 
the asset will generate future economic benefits; the 
availability of resources to complete the asset; and the 
ability to measure reliably the expenditure during its 
development. Costs capitalised include external direct 
costs of materials and service, direct payroll, and payroll 
related costs of employee time spent on projects.

Following the initial recognition of expenditure, the asset 
is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset 
begins when the development is complete and the asset 
is available for use. Amortisation is over the period of 
expected future benefit.

The Group’s policy applied to capitalised development 
costs is as follows.

Software and associated development to capitalised 
development costs (assets in use)

(q)  Investment property
Land and buildings have the function of an investment 
and are regarded as composite assets. In accordance with 
applicable accounting standards, the buildings, including 
plant and equipment, are not depreciated.

 – Useful life: Finite amortisation method using seven years 

on a straight-line basis; and

 –

Impairment test: Amortisation method reviewed at 
each financial year-end; closing carrying value reviewed 
annually for indicators of impairment.

Investment property includes property under construction, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. Subsequently, investment 
properties are stated at fair value, reflecting market 
conditions at reporting date. Gains or losses arising from 
changes in the fair values of investment properties are 
included in the statement of comprehensive income in the 
period they arise, including the corresponding tax effect.

Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalised 
only when it increases the future economic benefits 
embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other 
expenditure is expensed, as incurred. Gains or losses 
arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are 
measured as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds, and the carrying value of the asset. They are 
recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Intangible assets acquired separately, are initially 
recognised at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired 
in a business combination are their fair values as at the 
date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, acquired 
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses.

(s)  Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost, 
and due to their short-term nature, are not discounted. 
They represent liabilities for goods and services provided 
to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which 
are unpaid. They are recognised when the Group becomes 
obliged to make future payments in respect of the 
purchase of the goods and services.

(t)  Provisions, including employee benefits

General
Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; 
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount. 
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be 
reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only 
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating to a provision is presented in the statement of 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 
twelve months of the reporting date, are recognised 
in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting 
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is 
taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and 
measured as the present value of expected future 
payments made in respect of services provided by 
employees, up to the reporting date, using the projected 
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected 
future wage and salary levels, experience of employees 
departing, and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields on high 
quality corporate bonds at the reporting date, with terms 
to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(u)  Resident loans
The loans are repayable on the departure of the resident 
and classified as financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit and loss with resulting fair value adjustments 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 
The fair value of the obligation is measured as the 
ingoing contribution plus the resident’s share of capital 

appreciation to reporting date. Although the expected 
average residency term is more than ten years, these 
obligations are classified as current liabilities, as required 
by Accounting Standards. This is because the Group does 
not have an unconditional right to defer settlement to more 
than twelve months after reporting date.

This liability is stated net of accrued deferred management 
fees at reporting date, as the Group’s contracts with 
residents require net settlement of those obligations.

Refer to Note 1(cc) and Note 29(j) for information 
regarding the valuation of resident loans.

(v)  Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of 
the consideration received, less directly attributable 
transaction costs associated with the borrowings. 
After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method. Under this method, fees, costs, discounts 
and premiums that are yield related are included as part 
of the carrying value of the borrowing, and amortised 
over its expected life.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the 
Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement to 
more than twelve months after reporting date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except 
where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset. When this 
is the case, they are capitalised as part of the acquisition 
cost of that asset.

(w)  Issued equity
Issued and paid up securities are recognised at the fair 
value of the consideration received by the Group. Any 
transaction costs arising on issue of ordinary securities are 
recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the security 
proceeds received.

(x)  Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised 
when performance obligations have been met and control 
of the goods or services are transferred to the customer 
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods 
or services. The following specific recognition criteria must 
also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rental income
Rental income from investment properties is recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed rental 
increases that do not represent direct compensation for 
underlying cost increases or capital expenditures are 
recognised on a straight-line basis until the next market 
review date. Rent paid in advance is recognised as 
unearned income.

Sale of homes
Revenue from the sale of lifestyle homes is recognised 
at the point in time when control of the lifestyle home is 
transferred to the customer, on settlement of the home.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continuedFinancial Statements83

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Management and other fee income
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised in 
accordance with performance obligations under the terms 
and conditions of the service agreements. The Group 
recognises management and other fee income over 
time because the customer simultaneously receives and 
consumes the benefits provided to them.

Distribution income
Distribution income is recognised when the Group’s right 
to receive the payment is established.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues, using 
the effective interest rate method.

Service station sales
Service station sales, food and beverage revenue 
represents the revenue earned from the provision of 
products and services to external parties. Sales revenue 
is only recognised at the point in time when control of the 
assets is transferred to the customer.

(y)  Share-based payment transactions
Certain Group senior executives receive remuneration in 
the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby 
employees render services as consideration for equity 
instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Group 
does not have any cash-settled share-based payment 
transactions in the financial year.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, 
together with a corresponding increase in reserves in 
equity, over the period the performance and service 
conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised 
for these transactions at each reporting date until the 
vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting 
period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the 
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The 
statement of comprehensive income expense or credit for 
a period represents the movement in cumulative expense 
recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and 
is recognised in employee expenses.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately 
vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting 
is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. 
These are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not 
the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided 
that all other performance and service conditions are 
satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled transaction are 
modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense 
as if the original terms of the award are met. An additional 
expense is recognised for any modification that increases 
the total fair value of the transaction, or is otherwise 
beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of 
modification.

When an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as 
if it vested on the date of cancellation. Any expense not 
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. 
This includes any award where non-vesting conditions 

within the control of either the Group or the employee are 
not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the 
cancelled award, and designated as a replacement on the 
date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are 
treated as if they were a modification of the original award, 
as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding rights is reflected as 
additional share dilution in the computation of diluted 
earnings per share.

(z)  Income tax

Current income tax
The Company, ICMT and their respective subsidiaries are 
subject to Australian income tax.

Under the current tax legislation, ICF and its subsidiaries 
are not liable to pay Australian income tax if their taxable 
income (including any assessable capital gains) is fully 
distributed to security holders each year. Tax allowances 
for building and fixtures depreciation are distributed 
to security holders via the tax-deferred component of 
distributions.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the 
taxation authorities, based on the current period’s taxable 
income. The tax rates and laws used to compute the 
amount are those that are enacted, or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date.

The subsidiaries that previously held the Group’s foreign 
properties may be subject to corporate income tax and 
withholding tax in the countries they operate. Under 
current Australian income tax legislation, security holders 
may be entitled to receive a foreign tax credit for this 
withholding tax.

ICF has entered the Attribution Managed Investment 
Trust (AMIT) regime. Under current Australian income 
tax legislation, ICF is not liable for income tax provided it 
satisfies certain legislative requirements, which were met 
in the current and previous financial years.

Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on differences between tax bases of assets and 
liabilities, and their carrying value for financial reporting 
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when 
the asset is realised through continuing use, or the liability 
is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Income 
taxes related to items recognised directly in equity are not 
recognised against income.

Tax consolidation
The Company, ICMT, and their respective subsidiaries 
have formed a tax consolidation group with the Company 
or ICMT being the head entity. The head and controlled 
entities in the tax consolidation group continue to account 
for their own current and deferred tax amounts. Each 
tax consolidated group has applied a group allocation 
approach in determining the appropriate amount of 
current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to the 
members therein.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
the head entity of each tax consolidated group also 
recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and 
the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses, 
and unused tax credits assumed from entities in their 
respective tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements 
with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as 
amounts receivable from, or payable to, other entities in 
the Group.

(aa) Goods and services tax (“GST”)
Revenue, expenses and assets (with the exception of 
receivables) are recognised net of the amount of GST, to 
the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation 
authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as 
part of the cost of the acquisition, or as an expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The 
net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the tax 
authority, is included in the balance sheet as an asset or 
liability.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement 
on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities, which are 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authorities, are 
classified as operating cash flows.

(bb) Investment in a joint venture
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint 
control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the 
relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of 
a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of 
profit or loss outside operating profit and represents 
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the 
subsidiaries of the joint venture.

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the Group. When 
necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting 
policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group 
determines whether it is necessary to recognise an 
impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. 
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether 
there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint 
venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group 
calculates the amount of impairment as the difference 
between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and 
its carrying value, and then recognises the loss within the 
statement of comprehensive income.

Upon loss of joint control, the Group measures and 
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any 
difference between the carrying value of the joint venture 
upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the 
fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from 
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

(cc)  Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, resident loans, certain 
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, at fair 
value at each balance sheet date. Refer to Note 29.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at measurement date. The 
fair value measurement is based on the presumption that 
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes 
place either:

The considerations made in determining significant 
influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to 
determine control over subsidiaries.

 –

 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

In the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The Group’s investment in its joint venture with Sun 
Communities is accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture 
is initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s 
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in 
the carrying value of the investment and is not tested for 
impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of 
the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change 
in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of those investees 
is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when 
there has been a change recognised directly in the equity 
of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any 
changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes 
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and the joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be 
accessible to the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using 
the assumptions market participants use when pricing the 
asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in 
their economic best interest. A fair value measurement 
of a non-financial asset takes into account a market 
participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using 
the asset in its best use, or by selling it to another market 
participant that would use the asset in its best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances, and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value - maximising the use of 
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continuedFinancial Statements85

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described below, based on 
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole:

 –

 –

 –

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement 
is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines 
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the 
hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of the 
reporting period. This is based on the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

The Group’s Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee 
determines the policies and procedures for both recurring 
fair value measurement, such as investment properties and 
resident loans, and for non-recurring measurement.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant 
assets, such as properties and significant liabilities. 
Selection criteria include market knowledge, experience 
and qualifications; reputation; independence; and whether 
professional standards are maintained.

On a six month basis, management presents valuation 
results to the Investment Committee as well as the Audit, 
Risk and Sustainability Committee once approved. This 
includes a review of major assumptions used in the 
valuations. 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has 
determined classes of assets and liabilities based on nature, 
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability, and the 
level of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 29).

(dd)  Earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
members of the Group, divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary securities, adjusted for any bonus 
element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
the Group, divided by the weighted average number 
of ordinary securities and dilutive potential ordinary 
securities, adjusted for any bonus element.

(ee)  Adoption of new accounting standards
In the current period, the Group has adopted all the 
new and revised accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards, and interpretations that are relevant 
to its operations and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.

(ff)   Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance 
sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset 
is current when it is:

 – Expected to be realised, or intended to be sold, or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle;

 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

 – Expected to be realised within twelve months after the 

reporting period; or

 – Cash or cash equivalents, unless restricted from being 

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve 
months after reporting period.

A liability is current when it is:

 – Expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

 – Due to be settled within twelve months after the 

reporting period; or

 – There is no unconditional right to defer settlement of 

the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting 
period.

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as 
non-current assets and liabilities.

(gg)  Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
grant relates to an expense, it is recognised net of the 
related expense for which it is intended to compensate. 
There are no unfilled conditions or other contingencies 
attached to the grants.

2. 
 Accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the 
Group to exercise its judgement in the process of applying 
its accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree 
of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements are 
disclosed below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and 
are based on historical experience and other factors, 
including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a)  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by 
definition, may not equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk 
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. 

 Accounting estimates and judgements 
(continued)

 Valuation of investment property, other financial 
assets and other financial liabilities

The Group has investment properties and assets held for 
sale which together represent the estimated fair value of 
the Group’s investment property. Other financial assets 
represent the Groups investment in a number of unlisted 
property funds. Other financial liabilities relate to a profit 
share arrangement with a third-party which is carried at 
fair value.

The carrying value of these assets reflect certain 
assumptions about expected future rentals, rent-free 
periods, operating costs and appropriate discount 
and capitalisation rates. The valuation assumption for 
properties to be developed reflect sales prices for new 
homes, sales rates, new rental tariffs, estimates of capital 
expenditure, discount rates and projected property growth 
rates. The valuation assumptions for deferred management 
fee villages reflect average length of stay, unit market 
values, estimates of capital expenditure, contract terms 
with residents, discount rates and projected property 
growth rates.

In forming these assumptions, the Group considered 
information about recent sales activity, current market 
rents, discount rates, capitalisation rates for properties 
similar to those owned by the Group, as well as 
independent valuations of the Group’s property.

ii.  Valuation of inventories
The Group has inventory in the form of lifestyle homes 
which it carries at the lower of cost or net realisable 
value. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the 
most reliable evidence available at the time of estimation, 
the amount the inventories are expected to realise and 
the estimated costs of completion. Key assumptions 
require the use of management judgement, and are 
continually reviewed.

iii.  Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is based 
on assumptions of future events, and involves significant 
estimates. Given the complex nature of these instruments, 
and various assumptions that are used in calculating 
mark-to-market values, the Group rely on counterparty 
valuations for derivative values. The counterparty 
valuations are usually based on mid-market rates, and 
calculates using the main variables of the forward market 
curve, time and volatility.

iv. 

 Valuation of net assets acquired in the business 
combination

Upon recognising the acquisition and the associated 
goodwill balance, management uses estimations of the 
fair value of assets and liabilities assumed at the date of 
acquisition, involving judgements related to valuation of 
investment property as noted above.

(b)   Critical judgements in applying the entity’s 

accounting policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving 
estimations, that management has made in the process 
of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had 
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial report.

Investment properties are carried at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy Note 1 (q). 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the 
measurement date in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in its absence, the most advantageous market. 

In determining fair values, the Group considers relevant information including the capitalisation of rental streams using 
market assessed capitalisation rates. For investment properties under development the Group assesses fair value based 
on expected net cash flows discounted to their present value using market determined risk-adjusted discount rates and 
other available market data such as recent comparable transactions. As such the fair value of an investment property 
under development will differ depending on the number of settlements realised and the stage that each development is at. 
In determining the fair value of certain assets, recent market offers have been taken into consideration.

Refer to Note 11(e) for inputs used in determining fair value.

Investment properties (continued)

Capitalisation method
Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. The 
capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property and applying a capitalisation rate 
into perpetuity. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account 
occupancy, rental income and operating expenses. 

Discounted cash flow method
Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of 
ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash 
flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the 
present value of the income stream associated with the asset. The exit yield normally reflects the exit value expected to be 
achieved upon selling the asset and is a function of the risk-adjusted returns of the asset and expected capitalisation rate.

The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent 
reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment or refurbishment as well as the development of new units. The 
appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic 
cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, 
maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net 
underlying cash flows, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then 
discounted.

13.  Intangibles and goodwill (continued)
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred and the amount 
recognised for non-controlling interest over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, calculated as the 
higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is monitored for 
management purposes and allocated to cash generating units (CGU). The assumptions used for determining the recoverable 
amount of the CGU are based on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and 
relevant market trends.

Eighth Gate Funds CGU 
The recoverable amount of the Eighth Gate Funds CGU has been determined based on a discounted cash flow basis. This 
method involves the projection of a series of cash flows of the funds management business. The projected cash flows have 
been updated to reflect an expected change in cash flows from the funds management business. To this projected cash flow 
series, a pre-tax market-derived discount rate of 26% (30 Jun 2022: 18%) and a terminal growth rate of 3% (30 Jun 2022: 
2%) was applied to establish the present value of the income streams associated with the CGU. The discounted cash flow 
was then tested against appropriate business EBIT multiples and a sensitivity analysis was conducted. As a result of this 
analysis, no impairment has been recognised in the current year against goodwill with a carrying amount of $4.7 million as at 
30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: $4.7 million). 

Rental CGU
The recoverable amount of the rental CGU has been determined based on a discounted cash flow basis. This method 
involves the projection of a series of cash flows of the Lifestyle Rental business. To this projected cash flow series, a pre-tax 
market-derived discount rate of 7% (30 Jun 2022: N/A) and a terminal growth rate of 3% (30 Jun 2022: N/A) was applied to 
establish the present value of the income stream associated with the CGU. A sensitivity analysis was then conducted on the 
discounted cash flow. As a result of this analysis, no impairment charge has been recognised in the current year for the rental 
CGU goodwill of $91.8 million (30 June 2022: $91.8 million). 

Development CGU
The recoverable amount of the development CGU has been determined based on a discounted cash flow basis. This 
method involves the projection of a series of cash flows of the Lifestyle Development business. To this projected cash flow 
series, a pre-tax market-derived discount rate of 30% (30 Jun 2022: N/A) was applied to establish the present value of the 
income stream associated with the CGU. A sensitivity analysis was then conducted on the discounted cash flow. As a result 
of this analysis, no impairment charge has been recognised in the current year for the rental CGU goodwill of $4.8 million 
(30 June 2022: $4.8 million).

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The calculation of value in use for ICH is most sensitive to the following assumptions: 

 – Discount Rates

 – Net Operating Income

 – Home Construction Costs 

 – Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period

Discount rates 
Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time 
value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. 
The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived 
from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is 
derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing 
borrowings the Group is obliged to service. Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying individual beta factors. The 
beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data. Adjustments to the discount rate are made to 
factor in the specific amount and timing of the future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate. A rise in the pre-tax 
discount rate for the Lifestyle Rental CGU of 2% to 9% would result in an impairment. For the Lifestyle Development CGU, 
a 10% increase in the pre-tax discount rate would result in a $54.0 million reduction in headroom.

13.  Intangibles and goodwill (continued)

Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income (NOI) represents the aggregate total revenue less operating expenses at the property level for 
the respective CGU on an after tax basis. Tax rate applied reflects Ingenia’s long-term corporate tax rate. In determining 
NOI, Management have utilised internally approved budgets and forecasts based on the FY24 budget and beyond. 
Further, contained within these forecasts is the projected settlement profile of new homes sold at each property. Changes 
to the settlement profile will impact the NOI utilised to calculate the respective CGU’s value in use. A decline in NOI of 
approximately 24% and 37% would result in an impairment in the Lifestyle Rental CGU and Lifestyle Development CGU 
respectively.

Home Construction costs 
Changes to the quantum and timing of construction costs will have an impact to the Lifestyle Development CGU’s 
recoverable amount. In deriving the construction cost cashflows for each development project, management utilise a variety 
of information sources including, but not limited to, formal/estimated costs provided by home construction contractors, 
formal/estimated costs provided by home construction consultants (e.g. architects, surveyors, legal, etc.) and professional 
judgement. In addition to this, appropriate levels of contingency costs are determined and applied at the inception of the 
project to take into account construction risks. Management continually monitor and review development and construction 
costs throughout the project’s life.

Growth rate estimates 
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s long-term inflation target is between 2% and 3%. Rental agreements with residents, which 
forms the majority of revenue, are predominantly linked to a “CPI+” rent review structure. All rental agreements for newly 
built homes are on a “CPI+” rent review structure. Taking into account internally approved budgets/forecasts and general 
cost inflation, Management have adopted a long-term growth rate of 3% for the Lifestyle Rental CGU. A reduction in the 
long-term growth rate to approximately 1% would result in an impairment to the Lifestyle Rental CGU.

In the 30 June 2022 financial statements, the initial accounting for the business combination was provisional as the 
allocation of goodwill between the CGUs had not been completed. Upon finalisation of such allocation in the current year, 
the 30 June 2022 comparatives were adjusted to allocate the goodwill between the Lifestyle Development and Lifestyle 
Rental segments (Note 3).

From the date of acquisition, Seachange contributed $20,575,000 of revenue and $2,530,000 of profit before tax from 
continuing operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of FY22, the Group’s revenue would 
have increased by $32,271,000 and the profit before tax would have increased by $4,337,000 for the full FY22 period.

The goodwill recognised was primarily attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining the assets 
and activities of Seachange with those of the Group, resulting in a new premium brand for the Group in the growth corridor 
of South East Queensland, integration of a highly-regarded and experienced management team and building development 
capacity in one of the Group’s key markets. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. 

Refer to Note 13 for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the goodwill.

The tax effected carried forward tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised in the current year relates 
to capital losses of $3.1 million (30 Jun 2022: $3.5 million). A deferred tax asset for revenue losses not recognised at 30 June 
2022 of $5.9 million has now been recognised. 

The availability of carried forward tax losses to the ICMT tax consolidated group is subject to recoupment rules at the time 
of recoupment. Further, the rate at which certain of the revenue losses can be utilised is determined by reference to market 
values at the time of tax consolidation and subsequent events. The carried forward capital losses can only be recouped from 
future capital gains.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities, if and only if, it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and 
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax 
authority.

25.   Commitments 
There were commitments for capital expenditure on investment properties and inventories contracted but not provided for 
at reporting date of $79.3 million (30 Jun 2022: $72.3 million).

At 30 June 2022, Ingenia had committed to invest up to $3.0 million to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with Land Lease 
Home Loans (LLHL) a loan originator specifically focused on providing secured home loans to residents of land lease 
communities. The SPV provided loans to borrowers seeking to acquire a new lifestyle home within an Ingenia community. 
In August 2022, the loan of $1.0 million was fully repaid and the commitment was released following LLHL obtaining third 
party funding.

During the period, a lease for office space was signed with a commencement date in FY24. The expected minimum lease 
payments over the term of the lease are $3.0 million.

During the period, Ingenia entered into an arrangement to acquire Plantations (land lease) adjoining land for a purchase 
price of $18.8 million (inclusive of GST) on or before 30 April 2024. As at 30 June 2023, a deposit of $0.9 million has already 
been paid. 

26.  Contingent liabilities
The Group has the following contingent liabilities:

 – Bank guarantees totalling $24.1 million provided for under the $780.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate 

to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

27.  Share based Payment Transactions
The Group’s current Rights Plan provides for the issuance of rights to eligible employees, which upon a determination by 
the Board that the performance conditions attached to the rights have been met, result in the issue of stapled securities in 
the Group for each right. The Rights Plan was approved at the 10 November 2020 Annual General Meeting and contains the 
following:

(a) Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
STIP performance rights are awarded to eligible employees whose achievements, behaviour, and focus meet the Group’s 
business plan and individual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measured over the financial year. STIP rights are subject to 
a one year vesting deferral period from the issue date and allow for certain lapsing conditions within the deferral period, 
should certain conditions occur. Under the FY21 Rights Plan, 33.3% of the maximum STI for the CEO and 50.0% for the CFO 
and CIO & GC will be paid in cash, with the balance being a deferred equity element. 

The deferred expense for conditional STIP rights recognised for the period is $0.6 million (30 Jun 2022: $0.5 million) and is 
based on an estimate of the Group’s and individual employee’s current period performance. The total value of STIP rights is 
subject to adjustment up until the final full-year audited result is known and KPIs reliably measured, being 1 October 2023.

(b) Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
LTIP performance rights are granted to individuals to align their focus to increase alignment with security holder’s interests. 

The FY23 LTIP Rights are subject to the following LTIP Performance Conditions:

 –

 –

 –

 –

25% based on Total Shareholder Return (TSR); 

25% based on Return on Equity (ROE).

25% based on underlying Earnings Per Security (EPS) grow; and

25% based on home settlements growth.

TSR is benchmarked against the constituents of the ASX 200 A-REIT Index whilst ROE, Underlying EPS and home 
settlements growth is benchmarked against internal targets. The number of LTIP rights that will vest will depend on the 
performance of each hurdle.

The fair value of LTIPs is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. The fair 
value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The total LTIP expense recognised for the financial year 
was $1.1 million (30 Jun 2022: $0.8 million). 

(c) Talent Rights Grant (TRG)
TRG are granted for the purpose of retaining and incentivising employees who have been identified as having a key role in 
the successful achievement of the Group’s strategy. In order to vest, the TRG Rights are subject to the Group’s Rights Plan, 
employees remaining in service and their satisfactory performance.

The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. The total TRG expense recognised for the 
financial year was $0.6 million (30 Jun 2022: $0.5 million).

Prior to her appointment as a KMP Ms Kwok was granted 44,446 TRG Rights, with 50% vested on 31 July 2022 and the 
remaining 50% vesting on 31 July 2023.

(d) Fixed Remuneration Rights (FRR)
Fixed Remuneration of executive KMP is reviewed annually, with any adjustments subject to Board approval. When 
an adjustment to Fixed Remuneration is approved by the Board, the delivery of all or part of any increase in Fixed 
Remuneration may, at the Board’s discretion, be in the form of an annual grant of Rights to INA Securities. The Board 
considers that delivery in Rights, instead of cash, further aligns the interests of the executive with security holders. The total 
FRR expense recognised for the financial year was $0.2 million (30 Jun 2022: $0.3 million).

One Right equates to one security in the Group. Movements in rights during the year were as follows:

28.  Capital management
The Group aims to meet its strategic objectives, operational needs and maximise returns to security holders through the 
appropriate use of debt and equity, taking account of the additional financial risks of higher debt levels. 

In determining the optimal capital structure, the Group takes into account a number of factors, including the views of investors 
and the market in general, the capital needs of its portfolio, the relative cost of debt versus equity, the execution risk of raising 
equity or debt, and the additional financial risks of debt including increased volatility of earnings due to exposure to interest 
rate movements, the refinance risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior to maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative stability of its income flows, the predictability of its expenses, 
its debt maturity profile, the degree of hedging and the overall level of debt as measured by gearing.

The actual capital structure at a point in time is the product of a number of factors, many of which are market driven and to 
various degrees outside of the control of the Group, particularly the impact of revaluations, the availability of new equity and 
the liquidity in real estate markets. While the Group periodically determines the optimal capital structure, the ability to achieve 
the optimal structure may be impacted by market conditions and the actual position may often differ from the optimal position.

One measure of the Group’s capital position is through the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant (less than 55%) 
under the Group’s $780.0 million common terms debt facilities. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, 
ground leases, and interest rate swaps, less cash at bank, as a percentage of the value of properties pledged as security. The 
Group’s strategy is to maintain an LVR range of 30-40%. As at 30 June 2023, the LVR of 31.4% (30 June 2022: 25.7%).

In addition, the Group monitors Interest Cover Ratio (ICR) as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. At 
30 June 2023, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 4.67x (30 Jun 2022: 8.51x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 5.30x 
(30 Jun 2022: 7.45x). The covenant for total ICR and Core ICR is greater than 2x.

29.  Financial instruments

(a)  Introduction
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits, receivables, payables, interest bearing 
liabilities, other financial liabilities, and derivative financial instruments.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group manages its exposure to these risks primarily through its Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing 
policy. The policy sets out various targets aimed at restricting the financial risk taken by the Group. Management reviews 
actual positions of the Group against these targets on a regular basis. If the target is not achieved, or the forecast is unlikely 
to be achieved, a plan of action is, where appropriate, put in place with the aim of meeting the target within an agreed 
timeframe. 

Depending on the circumstances of the Group at a point in time, it may be that positions outside of the Investment, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing policy are accepted and no plan of action is put in place to meet the treasury targets, because, 
for example, the risks associated with bringing the Group into compliance outweigh the benefits. The adequacy of the 
Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy in addressing the risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments is 
reviewed on a regular basis. 

While the Group aims to meet its Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy targets, many factors influence its 
performance, and it is probable that at any one time it will not meet all its targets. For example, the Group may be unable 
to negotiate the extension of bank facilities sufficiently ahead of time, so that it fails to achieve its liquidity target. When 
refinancing loans it may be unable to achieve the desired maturity profile or the desired level of flexibility of financial 
covenants, because of the cost of such terms or their unavailability. Hedging instruments may not be available, or their cost 
may outweigh the benefit of risk reduction or they may introduce other risks such as mark to market valuation risk. Changes 
in market conditions may limit the Group’s ability to raise capital through the issue of new securities or sale of properties.

(b)  Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates arises primarily from its use of borrowings. The main 
consequence of adverse changes in market interest rates is higher interest costs, reducing the Group’s profit. In addition, one 
or more of the Group’s loan agreements may include minimum interest cover covenants. Higher interest costs resulting from 
increases in market interest rates may result in these covenants being breached, providing the lender the right to call in the 
loan or to increase the interest rate applied to the loan.

The Group manages the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy. At 30 June 2023, approximately 12% of the Group’s 
borrowings are at a fixed rate (30 June 2022: 17%) with interest rate derivatives in place to provide further rate protection. 
Consequently, exposure to interest rates on 53% of the drawn debt has been managed (30 Jun 22: 28%).

Exposure to changes in market interest rates also arises from financial assets such as cash deposits and loan receivables 
subject to floating interest rate terms. Changes in market interest rates will also change the fair value of any interest rate 
hedges.

(e)  Foreign exchange risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited to foreign denominated cash balances and receivables following the

(f)  Net foreign currency exposure
The Group’s net foreign currency monetary exposure as at reporting date is shown in the following table. The net foreign 
currency exposure reported is of foreign currencies held by entities whose functional currency is not the Australian dollar. 
It excludes assets and liabilities of entities, including equity accounted investments, whose functional currency is not the 
Australian dollar.

The impact of an increase or decrease in average foreign exchange rates of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables 
held constant, is considered to be limited based on the foreign exchange risk exposures in existence at balance sheet date.

The Group believes that the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in its financial 
instruments.

(g)  Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the 
Group. 

The major credit risk for the Group is default by tenants, resulting in a loss of rental income while a replacement tenant is 
secured and further loss if the rent level agreed with the replacement tenant is below that previously paid by the defaulting 
tenant.

The Group assesses the credit risk of prospective tenants, the credit risk of in-place tenants when acquiring properties and 
the credit risk of existing tenants renewing upon expiry of their leases. Factors taken into account when assessing credit risk 
include the financial strength of the prospective tenant and any form of security, for example a rental bond, to be provided. 

The decision to accept the credit risk associated with leasing space to a particular tenant is balanced against the risk of the 
potential financial loss of not leasing up vacant space.

Rent receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and arrears actively followed up in order to reduce, where 
possible, the extent of any losses should the tenant subsequently default. The Group believes that its receivables that are 
neither past due nor impaired do not give rise to any significant credit risk.

Credit risk also arises from deposits placed with financial institutions and derivatives contracts that may have a positive 
value to the Group. The Group’s Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy sets target limits for credit risk exposure with 
financial institutions and minimum counterparty credit ratings. 

Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the 
Group, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally enforceable.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is its carrying 
value as reported in the balance sheet.

29.  Financial instruments (continued)

(h)  Liquidity risk
The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Group does not have the resources available to 
meet its financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Group’s Investment, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing policy sets a target for the level of cash and available undrawn debt facilities to cover future 
committed capital expenditure in the next year, loan maturities within the next year and an allowance for unforeseen events 
such as tenant default. 

The Group may also be exposed to contingent liquidity risk under its term loan facilities, where term loan facilities include 
covenants which if breached give the lender the right to call in the loan, thereby accelerating a cash flow which otherwise 
was scheduled for the loan maturity. The Group monitors adherence to loan covenants on a regular basis, and the 
Investment, Derivatives, and Borrowing policy sets targets based on the ability to withstand adverse market movements and 
remain within loan covenant limits.

In addition, the Group ensures resilience against breaking its covenants on its primary debt facilities by assessing the 
following sensitivities:

 –

 –

10% reduction in value of assets for LVR covenants; and

2% nominal increase in interest rates combined with a 5% fall in income for ICR covenants.

The contractual maturities of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities at reporting date are reflected in the following 
table. It shows the undiscounted contractual cash flows required to discharge the liabilities at market rates.

29.  Financial instruments (continued)

(i)  Other financial instrument risk 
The Group carries Residents’ loans at fair value with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income. The fair value of these loans is dependent on market prices for the related retirement village units. 
The impact of an increase or decrease in these market prices of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, 
is shown in the table below. This analysis is based on the residents’ loans in existence at reporting date.

These effects are largely offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the Group’s investment properties. The effect 
on equity would be the same as the effect on profit.

(j)  Fair Value
The Group uses the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1:

Level 2:

Fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Fair value is calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3:

Fair value is calculated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices on active markets as at the reporting date 
without any deduction for transaction costs. 

The following table presents the Group’s financial instruments that were measured and recognised at fair value at reporting 
date:

Financial assets/ 
financial liabilities

Valuation technique(s) and  
key inputs

Significant unobservable 
inputs

Relationship of unobservable

Residents’ loans

Loans measured as the ingoing 
resident’s contribution plus 
the resident’s share of capital 
appreciation to reporting date, less 
DMF accrued to reporting date.

Estimated current market 
value of residential property.

Estimated length of stay of 
residents based on life tables.

The higher the appreciation, 
the higher the value of resident 
loans. The longer the length 
of stay, the lower the value of 
resident loans.

Derivative interest 
rate cap

Net present value of future cash 
flows discounted at market rates 
adjusted for the Group's credit risk.

Capitalisation method for existing 
rental streams and discounted cash 
flow for properties in development. 
Refer to Note 11.

Capitalisation rate adopted 
normalised operating profit 
and discount rate.  
Refer Note 11.

The higher the capitalisation 
rate and discount rate, the 
lower the value. The higher the 
adopted normalised operating 
profit, the higher the value.

Other financial 
liabilities

Discounted cash flow

N/A

N/A

Valuation of unlisted property funds is linked to the underlying investment property value. Other financial liabilities relate to 
ongoing obligations for the Latitude One investment property and is linked to the underlying property value. The associated 
financial liability will move in line with the fair value of the property.

There has been no movement from Level 3 to Level 2 during the year.

The carrying value of the Group’s other financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The financial statements released to the ASX on 22 August 2023 presented an incorrect aggregate compensation paid to 
Key Management Personnel. The Salaries and other short-term benefits for year ended 30 June 2023 is $1,433,780 not 
$1,208,780 as previously disclosed and Total aggregate compensation paid to Key Management Personnel for financial year 
2023 is $4,447,179 not $4,222,179 as previously disclosed. 

The financial statements have been corrected for these errors. There were no other changes.

Independent  Audit or's Repor t  t o t he Members of Ingenia Communit ies
Holdings Limit ed

Report  on t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the “ Company” ) and its
subsidiaries (collectively the “ Group” ), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June
2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity
and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:

a)

giving a t rue and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit  in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act  2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including Independence Standards) (t he Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other et hical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Key Audit  Mat t ers

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial report.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued

1. Valuat ion of Invest ment  Propert y

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

Investment properties (both those recorded as
investment properties and those included
within equity accounted investments) comprise
88.6% of the Group’s total assets. These assets
are carried at  fair value, which was assessed by
the directors wit h reference to either external
independent valuations or internal valuations
based on market  conditions existing at
reporting date.

The Group has three categories of investment
properties as disclosed in Note 11 of the
financial report.

•

•

•

The Garden Villages portfolio consists of
investment properties earning revenue
predominantly from longer term rental
agreements and the key valuation
judgements include capitalisation rates,
market  and contractual rents and forecast
occupancy levels.

The Lifestyle portfolio consists of
investment properties earning revenue
from a mix of longer-term land rental
agreements and short-term
accommodation rental. Lifestyle home
sales.

The Tourism portfolio consists of ‘Holidays
and Mixed Use’ investment properties
earning revenue from short-term
residential and tourism rentals.

The valuation of investment properties is
inherently subjective given that  there are
alternative assumptions and valuation methods
that may result in a range of values.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We assessed the Group’s controls in

place relevant to the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the

valuation methodology used across the
portfolio and tested the valuation
reports for mathematical accuracy on a
sample basis;

• We assessed the qualifications,

competence and objectivity of the
independent valuation experts used by
the Group;

• We assessed the Group’s internal

valuation methodology and tested the
mathematical accuracy of the valuation
models. We also assessed the
competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the internal valuer;

• On a sample basis, we compared the

property related data used as input for
both the external and internal
valuations against actual and budgeted
propert y performance;

• On a sample basis, we considered the

key inputs and assumptions used in the
valuations by comparing this
information to ext ernal market  data;

• Our real estate valuation specialists
reviewed a sample of internal and
independent valuations to determine
whether the key judgements and
methodology used were reasonable.

• We assessed the appropriateness of
the allocation of capital expenditure
between investment property and
inventory assets.

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

The key judgements in the valuations include
assumptions related to the long and short-
term rental income, capitalisation rates,
discount rates, market and contractual rents,
forecast  short-term and residential occupancy
levels, historical t ransactions and remaining
development potential for vacant land. In
assessing the development potential,
additional key judgements include future new
homes sales prices, estimated capital
expenditure and allocation of costs between
investment property and inventory, discount
rates, projected property growth rates and
operating profit margins.

Accordingly, the valuation of investment
properties was considered a key audit  matter.

2. Goodwill impairment  t est ing

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

At  30 June 2023, the Group’s consolidated
balance sheet  includes goodwill with a
carrying value of $101.3 million, representing
4.2% of total assets.

As set out in Note13 of the financial report,
the Group have assessed goodwill for
impairment at 30 June 2023. There was no
impairment recorded in the current year.

The assessment involved a value-in-use model,
based upon discounted cash flow forecasts
being used to calculate the recoverable
amount of each of the Group’s cash
generating units (CGUs).

The assessment is a judgmental process which
requires estimates concerning the forecast
future cash flows associated with the CGUs,
the discount rates and the growth rate of
revenue and costs to be applied in determining
the value in use or fair value less cost  of
disposal.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We assessed the Group’s determination
of the CGUs used in the impairment
model, based on our understanding of
the nature of the Group’s business and
the economic environment in which the
segments operate. We also considered
internal reporting of the Group’s
results to assess how earnings and
goodwill are monitored and reported;

• We evaluated whether the

methodology met the requirements of
Australian Accounting Standards;

• We assessed the mathematical

accuracy of the value in use cash flow
models prepared by the Group to
determine recoverable amount;

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

The estimates and assumptions relate to
future performance, market and economic
conditions. Significant assumptions used in
the impairment testing referred to above are
inherently subjective and in times of economic
uncertainty the degree of subjectivity is higher
than it might otherwise be. Changes in certain
assumptions can lead to significant changes in
the recoverable amount of these assets.

The disclosures in the financial report provide
important information about the assumptions
made in the impairment testing and the
market  conditions at 30 June 2023.

Accordingly, we considered the impairment
testing of goodwill and related disclosures in
the financial report to be a key audit matter.

• We assessed the underlying

assumptions regarding future cash
flows and agreed the forecast  used in
the models to the Board approved
business plans taking into
consideration the historical accuracy of
the Group’s cash flow forecasting;

• We assessed the key assumptions such
as the discount rates and growth rates
(including terminal growth rates)
applied in the models, with reference to
external industry and market  data and
involvement from our valuation
specialists;

• We performed sensitivity analysis on

key assumptions including discount
rates, net operating income and
development profit forecasts for
relevant CGUs; and

• We evaluated the adequacy of the
related disclosures in the financial
report including those made with
respect to judgments and estimates.

Emphasis of Mat t er – Revised and Reissued Financial Report

We draw your attention to note 37 of the financial report, which describes that the financial statements
have been revised and reissued as a result of certain information being incorrectly stated in the
aggregate compensation paid to Key Management Personnel disclosure. This audit report supersedes our
report issued to the ASX on 22 August 2023. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Informat ion Ot her t han t he Financial Report  and Audit or’s Report  Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s 2023 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and
our related assurance opinion.

In connection wit h our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or
our knowledge obtained in the audit  or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that  fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilit ies of t he Direct ors for t he Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement , whether due to fraud or
error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Audit or's Responsibilit ies for t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whet her due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not  a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance wit h the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:





Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit  evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to t he audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not  for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s abilit y to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as
a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, st ructure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit . We remain solely
responsible for our audit  opinion.

We communicate wit h the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate
threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that  a matter should
not  be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report  on t he Audit  of t he Remunerat ion Report

Opinion on t he Remunerat ion Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 58 to 72 of the directors' report for the year
ended 30 June 2023.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited for the year ended 30
June 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilit ies

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards.

Emphasis of mat t er – Reissue of Remunerat ion Report

We draw your attention to Note 5 of the Remuneration Report, which describes that the Remuneration
Report, which forms part of the Directors Report, has been revised and reissued as a result of a
correction to the Reported Remuneration – Statutory Presentation on page 68 of the Remuneration
Report. This audit  report supersedes our audit report on the previously issued remuneration report, dated
22 August 2023. Our opinion is not  modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ Report

For the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued 

Strategy
The Group is positioning for scale and long-term sector 
leadership while enhancing the operational performance of 
its investment properties and developing new sustainable 
communities. 

Using a disciplined investment framework, the Group will: 
continue to refine its portfolio, with a focus on growing 
its lifestyle rental base; build out its existing development 
pipeline to improve asset quality and sustainability; expand 
development and revenue streams directly and via capital 
partnerships, including with Sun Communities, Inc (NYSE: 
SUI) and the Group’s funds management platform; realise 
embedded growth and enhance returns from existing 
rental and holidays communities.

The immediate business priorities of the Group are:

 –

Improve resident and guest experience by investing in 
our systems and processes;

 – Enhance competitive advantage through recruiting, 
retaining and developing industry leading talent;

 –

Improve performance of existing communities through 
maintainable rental growth, active cost management and 
investment in new rental and tourism cabins;

 – Continue to build out the development pipeline across 

the Group and JV and integrate new building partners to 
support scale and settlement growth;

 – Build on the Group’s sustainability program through 
environmental, social and governance initiatives 
which include progressing the construction of three 
communities targeting a Green Star – Communities 
rating, delivering emissions reductions and expanding 
charitable giving;

 – Maintain focus on employee, resident and guest health 

and safety; and

 – Expand the Group’s capital partnerships to leverage 

Ingenia’s capability and established platform, while 
extending the Group’s asset base through co-investment.

Portfolio Refinement, Integration and Development 
Pipeline
During the year, the Group divested two Ingenia Gardens 
rental communities (Horsham, VIC and Tamworth, NSW), 
one holiday park (Swan Reach, VIC) and one Lifestyle 
Rental community (Lake Munmorah, NSW) in line with a 
focus on divesting non-core assets and recycling capital 
into the Group’s development pipeline. 

Over FY23, the Group continued to build the development 
pipeline, acquiring two new development projects 
(Sunbury, VIC and Gordonvale, QLD) and securing land 
adjacent to the existing Plantations, NSW community. 
These projects extend the development opportunity in 
key markets and will contribute settlements in the short to 
medium term in line with a focus on expanding the Group’s 
Ingenia Lifestyle portfolio.

The Group is well positioned for further expansion through 
development with 18 projects currently underway and 
7 communities expected to commence over FY24-25 and 
a pipeline of future opportunities. The portfolio will also 
achieve incremental expansion by continuing to add sites 
within existing communities.

FY23 financial results
The year ended 30 June 2023 delivered total revenue of 
$394.5 million, up 17% on the prior year. Holidays and Mixed 
Use revenue increased by 31% driven by continued strong 
operational performance as a result of improved occupancy 
and rate coupled with the impact of acquisitions in FY22 and 
1H23. Lifestyle Rental revenue increased 39% to $76.8 million 
attributable to high occupancy in the rental communities, 
increases in weekly rent and the full year impact of FY22 
settlements and assets acquired. The Group settled 3641 
turnkey homes (30 Jun 2022: 4091 homes). 

Underlying profit of $84.7 million represents a decrease of 
$3.2 million (4%) on the prior year. Strong demand within 
the tourism platform, growth across the rentals business 
together with the integration of the FY22 acquisitions, 
increased the Group’s recurring rental base. A significant 
increase in interest expense to support investment in 
development activity offset this growth. 

Statutory profit of $64.4 million was down 33% on the prior 
year. The statutory result reflects a lower fair value uplift in 
the Group’s investment property portfolio compared to the 
prior year. 

Operating cash flow for the period was $82.5 million, down 
28% from the prior year, predominantly driven by significant 
investment in inventory ahead of forecast settlements in 
FY24 and higher borrowing costs. Strong cashflows from 
the Lifestyle Rental and Holidays portfolios positively 
contributed to the operating cashflows for the year.

The Group’s net asset value (NAV) of $3.77 per security 
was up by 1% (30 Jun 2022 restated2: $3.72) and net 
tangible assets per security (NTA) increased 2% to $3.52 
(30 Jun 2022 restated2: $3.46).

Key metrics
 – Net profit for the year for ICF $39.0 million 

(30 Jun 2022: $4.9 million)

 – Net profit for the year for ICMT of $38.2 million 

(30 Jun 2022 restated: $70.7 million)

 – Full year distributions of 11.0 cents per unit by ICF, 

nil from ICMT.

Segment performance and priorities

Capital Partnerships 
Capital partnerships through co-investment and shared 
funding enables the Group to leverage the existing 
business platform, generate fee income and extend the 
Group’s asset base. With a wide pipeline of opportunities 
before the Group, there is potential to expand and extend 
capital partnering to support future acquisitions, enhance 
development, and enable portfolio refinement and growth.

Development Joint Venture
The JV with Sun Communities (NYSE: SUI) leverages 
Ingenia’s capability to generate fees for the Group’s 
services and expand its development exposure via 
co-investment. As at 30 June 2023, the JV has invested 
in five projects with four under active development.

1 

 Including 46 settlements (30 Jun 2022: 56) at Ingenia Lifestyle Freshwater and Natura, the Group’s joint venture projects with Sun Communities. 
Excludes 10 (30 Jun 2022: 18) settlements at Coastal Palms, part of the Funds Management business.

2  Refer to Note 1 in the 30 June 2023 Annual Financial Report for further detail.

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued Directors’ Report133

The JV delivered $26.9 million (30 Jun 2022: $24.2 million) of revenue, which includes the settlement of 46 (30 Jun 2022: 56) 
new homes at Burpengary, QLD and Bobs Farm, NSW. Construction of homes has commenced at Fullerton Cove, NSW the 
JV’s third project which will launch in FY24.

During FY23, fees generated by Ingenia from the Joint Venture relate to acquisition and management. Development and 
sales fees are reflected in the Lifestyle Development segment.

Strategic priorities
The strategic priority for the JV is to progress the development of its existing projects, delivering increased home 
settlements and rental cash flows. The JV leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, 
acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia provides operational services to the communities. At completion 
of development, Ingenia has the right to acquire the communities at market value.

Funds Management
The Group’s funds and asset management business manages five funds that invest in lifestyle and holiday communities 
situated in NSW and QLD. The Group receives fees for the management and development of the assets and management of 
the funds.

The Group also co-invests in each of the five funds, ensuring alignment with fund investors. The investment in the funds 
generates asset ownership and development revenue streams. 

The decline in fee income is due to the divestment of the assets within one of the funds in FY22. The assets were acquired 
by Ingenia following approval from the Fund’s shareholders. This transaction generated a performance fee and a gain on the 
Group’s co-investment.

FY24 outlook
The Group’s lifestyle rental business remains well placed for ongoing expansion with strong demand from an ageing 
population and growing demand for affordable community based living. Residents are increasingly seeking quality 
community living and affordable rental accommodation in metro, coastal and regional markets which the Group is well 
positioned to deliver, with 18 communities under construction and additional sites in planning or under review. Accelerated 
development activity, acquisitions over FY22 and FY23 which increased the rental base and investment in inventory 
capitalises on this demand, enabling the long-term sustainable generation of rental cash flows. Ingenia will continue to 
grow its Lifestyle business through its development pipeline, generating attractive returns, stable, resilient cashflows and 
increased scale. Investing in new rental homes also remains a key priority for the Group to build out cash flows in established 
communities.

Demand for domestic tourism is expected to continue and Ingenia is positioned to benefit with an extensive portfolio 
located in attractive holiday destinations. The priority for Ingenia Holidays is to enhance the customer experience by 
refurbishing existing cabins, investing in new accommodation and targeting growth in non-peak occupancy.

The Group’s strong balance sheet and focus on recycling capital through the sale of non-core assets provide continuing 
capacity for growth and sector leadership. The Group will also increase its asset base through capital partnerships, including 
the ongoing development activity in the JV as new projects contribute settlements and fees. Co-investment via capital 
partnership will remain a driver for growth, enabling a wider exposure to asset acquisitions and opportunities.

Ingenia will continue to deliver on its environmental commitments as the Group targets net zero emissions (Scope 1 and 2) 
by 2035 and the development of sustainable communities.

The Group will regularly assess market opportunities and the performance of existing assets, divesting and acquiring assets 
where superior longer-term returns are available.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

share within the lifestyle and rental and tourism sectors through:

 – Developing greenfield sites in identified growth corridors and expanding existing lifestyle and rental communities;

 – Ongoing co-investment through the Group’s capital partnerships to fund growth and leverage scale and capability; and

 – Divesting non-core assets to further support investment in growth and portfolio refinement.

officers and employees of the Group serving in their respective capacities. Key insurance policies include: directors and

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2023

1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

(a)  The Trusts
Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) (ARSN 
107 459 576) and Ingenia Communities Management Trust 
(“ICMT”) (ARSN 122 928 410) (together the Trusts) are 
Australian registered schemes. Ingenia Communities RE 
Limited (ACN 154 464 990; Australian Financial Services 
Licence number 415862), the Responsible Entity of the 
Trusts, is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The parent company of Ingenia Communities RE Limited 
is Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the Company). 
The shares of the Company are stapled with the units of 
the Trusts and trade on the Australian Securities Exchange 
(“ASX”) effectively as one security. In this report, the 
Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively as the 
Group.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to 
occur of:

 –

 –

the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by 
special resolution in accordance with its constitution to 
terminate the stapling provisions; or

the commencement of the winding up of the Company 
or either of the Trusts.

The financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 
2023 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 
22 August 2023.

(b)  Basis of preparation 
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the AASB and International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board.

As permitted by Instrument 2015/838, issued by the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission, this 
financial report is a combined financial report that presents 
the financial statements and accompanying notes of both 
ICF and ICMT. The financial statements and accompanying 
notes of the Trusts have been presented within this 
financial report.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 
and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand 
dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated as permitted by 
Instrument 2016/191.

The financial report is prepared on a historical cost 
basis, except for investment properties, residents’ loans, 
derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and 
other financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.

At 30 June 2023, ICMT recorded a net current asset 
deficiency of $46.8 million. This deficiency will be satisfied 
by the forecast operating cashflows of ICMT, related party 
transactions and available undrawn debt facilities of the 
Group. Accordingly, there are reasonable grounds to 
believe that ICMT will be able to pay its debts as and when 
they become due and payable; and the financial report of 
the ICMT has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Prior year restatement - correction of an error 
The prior year balances have been corrected for two 
errors:

1. 

 Restatement of investment property carrying value 
and deferred tax liabilities

Investment property balances have been restated to 
record an incorrect allocation in the carrying value of 
investment property between the three stapled groups. 
As a result, there has also been a correction of the related 
deferred tax liabilities. This restatement resulted in an 
increase in investment property of $33.8 million and 
deferred tax liabilities of $10.1 million compared to the 
balance as previously reported with a net $23.7 million 
being recorded against opening retained earnings in 
the comparative year. The 30 June 2022 impact of this 
restatement resulted in a $7.5 million increase in investment 
property carrying value and fair value gain in the income 
statement.

2. 

 Restatement related to the recognition of a non-
current provision

In November 2021, the Group entered into an agreement to 
acquire an investment property. As part of this transaction 
a liability arose that would be paid over a period of two 
years. This liability was not recorded in the prior year 
financial statements. A restatement has been recorded 
to recognise a non-current liability of $4.8 million with a 
corresponding reduction to the operational, marketing and 
selling expenses in the income statement.

The above changes did not have an impact on ICMT’s 
operating, investing and financing cash flows.

(c) 

 Adoption of new and revised accounting 
standards

New accounting standards, amendments to accounting 
standards, and interpretations have been published that 
are not mandatory for the current reporting period and 
are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s 
future financial reporting.

(d)  Principles of consolidation
ICF’s consolidated financial statements comprise ICF and 
its subsidiaries. ICMT’s consolidated financial statements 
comprise ICMT and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all 
those entities (including special purpose entities) whose 
financial and operating policies are able to be governed by 
a trust, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the parent, using 
consistent accounting policies. Intercompany balances and 
transactions, including dividends and unrealised gains and 
losses from intragroup transactions, have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the 
parent obtains control. They are deconsolidated from the 
date that control ceases. 

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the 
parent’s financial statements.

The Company was incorporated on 24 November 2011. In 
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business 
Combinations, the stapling of the Company and the Trusts 
was regarded as a business combination. Under AASB 3, 
the stapling was accounted for as a reverse acquisition 
with ICF “acquiring” the Company and the Company 
subsequently being identified as the ongoing parent for 
preparing consolidated financial reports. Consequently, the 
consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the 
financial statements of the Trusts, and include the results of 
the Company from the date of incorporation.

(e)  Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the 
acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured 
as the fair value aggregate of the consideration transferred 
at acquisition. For each business combination, the Trusts 
elect whether to measure the non-controlling interest in 
the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate 
share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition 
related costs are expensed and included in other expenses.

When the Trusts acquire a business, they assess financial 
assets and liabilities for appropriate classification and 
designation in accordance with the contractual terms, 
economic circumstances, and pertinent conditions as at 
the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree 
is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through 
profit or loss.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of 
the aggregate consideration transferred and the amount 
recognised for non-controlling interest over the fair value 
of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that it 
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised 
when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount, calculated as the higher of fair value 
less costs of disposal and the value in use. Impairment 
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is 
monitored for management purposes and allocated to 
cash generating units (“CGU”). The assumptions used for 
determining the recoverable amount of the CGU are based 
on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and 
external sources of data and relevant market trends.

(f)  Assets held for sale
Components of the entity are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying value will be recovered principally through a 
sale transaction rather than through continuing use. 

They are measured at the lower of their carrying value 
and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as 
investment property, which are carried at fair value.

The liabilities of an asset classified as held for sale are 
presented separately from other liabilities on the face of 
the balance sheet. 

(g)  Dividends and distributions
A liability for any distribution declared on or before the 
end of the reporting period is recognised on the balance 
sheet, in the reporting period to which the distribution 
pertains.

(h)  Foreign currency 

Functional and presentation currencies
The functional currency and presentation currency of 
the Trusts and their subsidiaries, other than foreign 
subsidiaries, is the Australian dollar. 

Translation foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in 
the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currency are retranslated at 
the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance date. All 
differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to 
the statement of comprehensive income.

A non-monetary item that is measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency is translated using the exchange rates at 
the date when the fair value was determined.

(i)  Leases
The Trusts assesses at contract inception whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Trusts applies a single recognition and measurement 
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and 
leases of low-value assets which are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The 
Trusts recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments 
and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the 
underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets
The Trusts recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are 
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and 
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities. 

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of 
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Trusts 
recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of 
lease payments to be made over the lease term. 

The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease 
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend 
on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid 
under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also 
include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably 
certain to be exercised by the Trusts and payments of 
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects 
the Trusts exercising the option to terminate. 

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index 
or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which 
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the 
Trusts uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. After the 
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is 
increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced 
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a 
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the 
lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting 
from a change in an index or rate used to determine such 
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an 
option to purchase the underlying asset. The Trusts’ lease 
liabilities are included in Borrowings (Note 18). Leases for 
investment property which apply the fair value model are 
classified as investment property per AASB 140 Investment 
Properties.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(j)  Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant 
and equipment, and borrowing costs for long-term 
construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. 
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment 
require replacing at intervals, the Trusts recognises 
such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives 
and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a 
major inspection is performed, the cost is recognised 
in the carrying value of the plant and equipment as a 
replacement, if the recognition criteria are satisfied. 
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised 
in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the 
expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after 
its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the 
recognition criteria for a provision are met.

(k)  Financial assets and liabilities
Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities 
within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are 
classified as; fair value through profit or loss; fair value 
through other comprehensive income; or amortised 
cost. The Trusts determine the classification of its 
financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition with 
the classification depending on the purpose for which 
the asset or liability was acquired or issued. Financial 
assets and liabilities are initially recognised at fair value 
plus directly attributable transaction costs, unless their 
classification is at fair value through profit or loss. They 
are subsequently measured at fair value or amortised cost 
using the effective interest method.

The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in 
organised financial markets are determined by reference to 
quoted market bid prices at close of business on balance 
sheet date. For those with no active market, fair values are 
determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques 
include: using recent arm’s length market transactions; 
reference to the current market value of another 
substantially similar instruments; discounted cash flow 
analysis; option pricing models; making use of available and 
supportable market data and keeping judgemental inputs 
to a minimum.

Impairment of non-financial assets

(l) 
Assets other than investment property carried at fair 
value are tested for impairment whenever events or 
circumstance changes indicate that the carrying value may 
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for 
the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds 
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the 
higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are 
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the 
cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Non-
financial assets excluding goodwill which have suffered 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at each reporting date.

(m)  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet and cash 
flow statements comprise cash at bank, cash in hand, and 
short-term deposits that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash, and subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.

(n)  Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
original invoice amount, and subsequently adjusted for 
ECL. An allowance is recognised by analysing the age 
of outstanding balances and applying historical default 
percentages. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward-looking observable data affecting the 
ability of customers to settle their debts.

Inventories

(o) 
The Trusts hold inventory in relation to the acquisition and 
development of lifestyle homes, as well as and service 
station fuel and supplies. 

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. 

Costs of inventories comprise all acquisition costs, costs 
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the 
inventories to their present location and condition. 
Inventory includes work in progress and raw materials used 
in the production of lifestyle home units.

Net realisable value is determined on the basis of an 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, 
less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs 
necessary to make the sale.

(p)  Derivative financial instruments
The Trusts use derivative financial instruments such 
as interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated 
with interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial 
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on 
the date the contract is entered and are subsequently 
remeasured to fair value and included in the statement of 
comprehensive income in the period they arise, including 
the corresponding tax effect.

(q)  Investment property
Land and buildings have the function of an investment 
and are regarded as composite assets. In accordance with 
applicable accounting standards, the buildings, including 
plant and equipment, are not depreciated.

Investment property includes property under construction, 
tourism cabins and associated amenities.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, 
including transaction costs. Subsequently, investment 
properties are stated at fair value, reflecting market 
conditions at reporting date. Gains or losses arising from 
changes in the fair values of investment properties are 
included in the statement of comprehensive income in the 
period they arise, including the corresponding tax effect.

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on 
initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets 
acquired in a business combination are their fair values 
as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, 
acquired intangible assets are carried at cost less any 
accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

(s)  Trade and other payables 
 Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost, 
and due to their short-term nature, are not discounted. 
They represent liabilities for goods and services provided 
to the Trusts prior to the end of the financial year which 
are unpaid. They are recognised when the Trusts become 
obliged to make future payments in respect of the 
purchase of the goods and services.

(t)  Provisions, including for employee benefits

General
Provisions are recognised when: the Trusts have a present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; 
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount. 
When the Trusts expect some or all of a provision to be 
reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only 
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating to a provision is presented in the statement of 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled wholly 
within twelve months of the reporting date, are recognised 
in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting 
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is 
taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and 
measured as the present value of expected future 
payments made in respect of services provided by 
employees, up to the reporting date, using the projected 
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected 
future wage and salary levels, experience of employees 
departing, and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields on high 
quality corporate bonds at the reporting date, with terms 
to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at measurement date, in 
the principal market for the asset or liability, or the most 
advantageous market in its absence. In determining the fair 
value of assets held for sale recent market offers have been 
taken into consideration.

It is the Trusts’ policy to have all investment properties 
externally valued at intervals of not more than two years. 
It is the policy of the Trusts to review the fair value of 
each investment property every six months, and revalued 
investment properties to fair value when their carrying 
value materially differs to their fair values. 

In determining fair values, the Trusts considers relevant 
information including the capitalisation of rental streams 
using market assessed capitalisation rates, expected 
net cash flows discounted to their present value using 
market determined risk-adjusted discount rates, and 
other available market data such as recent comparable 
transactions. The assessment of fair value of investment 
properties does not take into account potential capital 
gains tax assessable.

Intangible assets

(r) 
An intangible asset arising from software development 
expenditure is recognised only when the Trusts can 
demonstrate: the technical feasibility of completing the 
intangible asset so that it will be available for use; how 
the asset will generate future economic benefits; the 
availability of resources to complete the asset; and the 
ability to measure reliably the expenditure during its 
development. Costs capitalised include external direct 
costs of materials and service, direct payroll, and payroll 
related costs of employee time spent on projects.

Following the initial recognition of expenditure, the asset 
is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset 
begins when the development is complete and the asset 
is available for use. Amortisation is over the period of 
expected future benefit.

The Trusts policy applied to capitalised development costs 
is as follows.

Software and associated development to capitalised 
development costs (assets in use)

 – Useful life: Finite amortisation method using seven years 

on a straight-line basis; and

 –

Impairment test: Amortisation method reviewed at 
each financial year end; closing carrying value reviewed 
annually for indicators of impairment.

Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalised 
only when it increases the future economic benefits 
embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other 
expenditure is expensed as incurred. Gains or losses arising 
from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured 
as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, and 
the carrying value of the asset. They are recognised in 
profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(u)  Resident loans
The loans are repayable on the departure of the resident 
and classified as financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit and loss with resulting fair value adjustments 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 
The fair value of the obligation is measured as the 
ingoing contribution plus the resident’s share of capital 
appreciation to reporting date. Although the expected 
average residency term is more than ten years, these 
obligations are classified as current liabilities, as required 
by Accounting Standards. This is because the Trusts does 
not have an unconditional right to defer settlement to more 
than twelve months after reporting date.

This liability is stated net of accrued deferred management 
fees at reporting date, as the Group’s contracts with 
residents require net settlement of those obligations.

Refer to Notes 1(bb) information regarding the valuation of 
resident loans.

(v)  Borrowings 
Borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of 
the consideration received, less directly attributable 
transaction costs associated with the borrowings. After 
initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method. Under this method, fees, costs, discounts and 
premiums that are yield related are included as part of the 
carrying value of the borrowing, and amortised over its 
expected life.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless 
the Trusts do not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement to more than twelve months after reporting 
date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except 
where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset. When this 
is the case, they are capitalised as part of the acquisition 
cost of that asset.

(w)  Issued equity
Issued and paid up securities are recognised at the fair 
value of the consideration received by the Trusts. Any 
transaction costs arising on issue of ordinary securities 
are recognised directly in security holders’ interest as a 
reduction of the security proceeds received.

(x)  Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised 
when performance obligations have been met and control 
of the goods or services are transferred to the customer 
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods 
or services. The following specific recognition criteria must 
also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rental income
Rental income from investment properties is recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed rental 
increases that do not represent direct compensation for 
underlying cost increases or capital expenditures are 
recognised on a straight-line basis until the next market 
review date. Rent paid in advance is recognised as 
unearned income.

Sale of homes
Revenue from the sale of lifestyle homes is recognised 
at the point in time when control of the lifestyle home is 
transferred to the customer, on settlement of the home.

Management and other fee income
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised in 
accordance with performance obligations under the terms 
and conditions of the service agreements. The Group 
recognises management and other fee income over 
time because the customer simultaneously receives and 
consumes the benefits provided to them.

Distribution income
Distribution income is recognised when the Trusts right to 
receive the payment is established.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues, using 
the effective interest rate method.

Service station sales
Service station sales, food and beverage revenue 
represents the revenue earned from the provision of 
products and services to external parties. Sales revenue 
is only recognised at the point in time when control of the 
assets is transferred to the customer.

(y)  Income tax

Current income tax
Under the current tax legislation, ICF and its subsidiaries 
are not liable to pay Australian income tax provided that 
their taxable income (including any assessable capital 
gains) is fully distributed to security holders each year. 
Tax allowances for building and fixtures depreciation 
are distributed to security holders in the form of the 
tax-deferred component of distributions. ICMT and its 
subsidiaries are subject to Australian income tax.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, 
the taxation authorities based on the current period’s 
taxable income. The tax rates and laws used to compute 
the amount are those that are enacted or substantively 
enacted, at the reporting date. The subsidiaries that 
previously held the Trusts’ foreign properties may be 
subject to corporate income tax and withholding tax in the 
countries in which they operate. Under current Australian 
income tax legislation, security holders may be entitled to 
receive a foreign tax credit for this withholding tax.

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continuedIngenia Communities Holdings Ltd Annual Report 2023Directors’ ReportRemuneration ReportFinancial StatementsSustainabilityYear in ReviewBoard of Directors148

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement 
on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities, which are 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authorities, are 
classified as operating cash flows.

(aa) Investment in a joint venture
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby 
the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint 
control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the 
relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant 
influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to 
determine control over subsidiaries.

The Trusts’ investment in its joint venture with Sun 
Communities is accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture 
is initially recognised at cost. The carrying value of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Trusts’ 
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in 
the carrying value of the investment and is not tested for 
impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Trusts’ share of 
the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change 
in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of those investees 
is presented as part of the Trusts’ OCI. In addition, when 
there has been a change recognised directly in the equity 
of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any 
changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes 
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and the joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The aggregate of the Trusts’ share of profit or loss of a joint 
venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or 
loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss 
after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of 
the joint venture.

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the Trusts. When 
necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting 
policies in line with those of the Trusts.

Upon loss of joint control, the Trusts measure and 
recognise any retained investment at its fair value. Any 
difference between the carrying value of the joint venture 
upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the 
fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from 
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

ICF has entered the Attribution Managed Investment 
Trust (AMIT) regime. Under current Australian income 
tax legislation, ICF is not liable for income tax provided it 
satisfies certain legislative requirements, which were met in 
the current and previous financial years.

Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax represents tax (including withholding 
tax) expected to be payable or recoverable by taxable 
entities on differences between tax bases of assets and 
liabilities, and their carrying value for financial reporting 
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised through continuing use, or 
the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at 
reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for 
deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those 
temporary differences. Income taxes related to items 
recognised directly in equity are not recognised against 
income. Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
are continually evaluated and are based on historical 
experience and other factors, including expectations of 
future events that may have a financial impact on the 
Trust and that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.

Tax consolidation
The Company, ICMT, and their respective subsidiaries 
have formed a tax consolidation group with the Company 
or ICMT being the head entity. The head and controlled 
entities in the tax consolidation group continue to account 
for their own current and deferred tax amounts. Each 
tax consolidated group has applied a group allocation 
approach in determining the appropriate amount of 
current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to the 
members therein.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
the head entity of each tax consolidated group also 
recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and 
the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses, 
and unused tax credits assumed from entities in their 
respective tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements 
with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as 
amounts receivable from, or payable to, other entities in 
the Group.

(z)  Goods and services tax (“GST”)
Revenue, expenses and assets (with the exception of 
receivables) are recognised net of the amount of GST, to 
the extent that the GST is recoverable from the taxation 
authority. Where GST is not recoverable, it is recognised as 
part of the cost of the acquisition, or as an expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The 
net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the tax 
authority, is included in the balance sheet as an asset or 
liability.

 Summary of significant accounting policies 
(continued)

(bb) Fair value measurement
The Trusts measure financial instruments, such as 
derivatives, investment properties, resident loans, certain 
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, at fair 
value at each balance sheet date. Refer to Note 26. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at measurement date. The 
fair value measurement is based on the presumption that 
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes 
place either: 

 –

 –

In the principal market for the asset or liability; or 

In the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability. 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be 
accessible to the Trusts.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using 
the assumptions market participants use when pricing the 
asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in 
their economic best interest. A fair value measurement 
of a non-financial asset takes into account a market 
participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using 
the asset in its best use or by selling it to another market 
participant that would use the asset in its best use. 

The Trusts use valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of 
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 
within the fair value hierarchy, described below, based on 
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole:

 –

 –

 –

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis, the Trusts determine 
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the 
hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of the 
reporting period. This is based on the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

The Trusts’ Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee 
determines the policies and procedures for both recurring 
fair value measurement, such as investment properties and 
resident loans, and for non-recurring measurement. 

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant 
assets, such as properties and significant liabilities. 
Selection criteria include market knowledge, experience 
and qualifications; reputation; independence; and whether 
professional standards are maintained. 

On a six month basis management presents valuation 
results to the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee as 
well as the Trusts’ auditors. This includes a review of the 
major assumptions used in the valuations. 

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Trusts have 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 26).

(cc) Earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
members of the Trusts’, divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary securities, adjusted for any bonus 
element. 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to 
the Trusts, divided by the weighted average number 
of ordinary securities and dilutive potential ordinary 
securities, adjusted for any bonus element.

(dd) Adoption of new accounting standards

In the current period, the Trusts have adopted all the 
new and revised accounting standards, amendments to 
accounting standards, and interpretations that are relevant 
to its operations and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.

(ee) Current versus non-current classification
The Trusts present assets and liabilities in the balance sheet 
based on current/non-current classification. An asset is 
current when it is:

 – Expected to be realised, or intended to be sold, or 

consumed in the normal operating cycle;

 – Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

 – Expected to be realised within twelve months after the 

reporting period; or

 – Cash or cash equivalents, unless restricted from being 

exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve 
months after reporting period.

A liability is current when:

 –

 –

 –

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

It is due to be settled within twelve months after the 
reporting period; or

 – There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of 
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting 
period.

All other assets are classified as non-current. The Trusts 
classify all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets 
and liabilities.

(ff)  Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and 
all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
grant relates to an expense, it is recognised net of the 
related expense for which it is intended to compensate. 
There are no unfilled conditions or other contingencies 
attached to the grants.

ii.  Valuation of inventories
The Trusts have inventory in the form of lifestyle homes 
which it carries at the lower of cost or net realisable value. 
Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most 
reliable evidence available at the time of estimation, the 
amount the inventories are expected to realise, and the 
estimated costs of completion. Key assumptions require 
the use of management judgement, and are continually 
reviewed.

iii.  Fair value of derivatives
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is based 
on assumptions of future events, and involves significant 
estimates. Given the complex nature of these instruments, 
and various assumptions that are used in calculating 
mark-to-market values, the Trusts rely on counterparty 
valuations for derivative values. The counterparty 
valuations are usually based on mid-market rates, and 
calculates using the main variables of the forward market 
curve, time and volatility.

iv. 

 Valuation of net assets acquired in the business 
combination

Upon recognising the acquisition and the associated 
goodwill balance, management uses estimations of the 
fair value of assets and liabilities assumed at the date of 
acquisition, involving judgements related to valuation of 
investment property as noted above.

(b)   Critical judgements in applying the entity’s 

accounting policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving 
estimations, that management has made in the process 
of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had 
a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
financial report.

 Accounting estimates and judgements
2. 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the 
Trusts to exercise judgement in the process of applying its 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree 
of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements are 
disclosed below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and 
are based on historical experience and other factors, 
including expectations of future events that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a)  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Trusts makes estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by 
definition, may not equal the related actual results. The 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk 
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

i. 

 Valuation of investment property, other financial 
assets and other financial liabilities

The Trusts have investment properties and assets held 
for sale which together represent the estimated fair value 
of investment property. Other financial assets represent 
ICMT’s investment in a number of unlisted property 
funds. Other financial liabilities relates to a profit share 
arrangement between ICMT and a third-party which is 
carried at fair value.

These carrying value reflect certain assumptions about 
expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating 
costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. 
The valuation assumption for properties to be developed 
reflect sales prices for new homes, sales rates, new rental 
tariffs, estimates of capital expenditure, discount rates 
and projected property growth rates. The valuation 
assumptions for deferred management fee villages reflect 
average length of stay, unit market values, estimates of 
capital expenditure, contract terms with residents, discount 
rates and projected property growth rates. 

In forming these assumptions, the Trusts considered 
information about current and recent sales activity, current 
market rents, discount rates and capitalisation rates for 
properties similar to those owned by the Trusts, as well as 
independent valuations of the Trusts’ property.

3.  Segment information

(a)  Description of segments
The Trusts invest predominantly in rental properties located in Australia with five reportable segments:

 –

 –

 –

Lifestyle Development – comprising the development and sale of lifestyle homes and fees from the management of 
development and sales in the joint venture;

Lifestyle Rental – comprising long-term accommodation within lifestyle and rental communities;

Ingenia Gardens – seniors rental villages; 

 – Holidays & Mixed Use – comprising tourism and mixed-use accommodation within holiday parks;

 – Fuel, Food & Beverage Services – consists of the Trusts’ investment in service station and food & beverage operations 

adjoined to Ingenia Holiday communities;

 – Corporate & Other – comprises the Trusts’ remaining assets and operating activities including, funds and joint venture 

management and corporate overheads. 

The Trusts have identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief 
operating decision maker in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Other parts of the Trusts 
are neither an operating segment nor part of an operating segment Corporate & Other.

(c)  Description of valuation techniques used and key inputs to valuation of investment properties

Capitalisation method
Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. The 
capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property and applying a capitalisation rate 
into perpetuity. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account 
occupancy, rental income and operating expenses. 

Discounted cash flow method
Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of 
ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash 
flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the 
present value of the income stream associated with the asset. The exit yield normally reflects the exit value expected to be 
achieved upon selling the asset and is a function of the risk-adjusted returns of the asset and expected capitalisation rate.

The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent 
reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment or refurbishment as well as the development of new units. The 
appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic 
cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, 
maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net 
underlying cash flows, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then 
discounted.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred and the amount 
recognised for non-controlling interest over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, calculated as the 
higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. 

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is monitored for 
management purposes and allocated to cash generating units (CGU). The assumptions used for determining the recoverable 
amount of the CGU are based on the expectation for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and 
relevant market trends.

Intangibles and Goodwill (continued)

Rental CGU
The recoverable amount of the rental CGU has been determined based on a discounted cash flow basis. This method 
involves the projection of a series of cash flows of the ICMT Rental business. To this projected cash flow series, a pre-tax 
market-derived discount rate of 7% (30 Jun 2022: N/A) and a terminal growth rate of 3% (30 Jun 2022: N/A) was applied 
to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the CGU. A sensitivity analysis was then conducted on 
the discounted cash flow. As a result of this analysis, no impairment charge has been recognised in the current year for the 
rental CGU goodwill of $91.8 million (30 June 2022: $91.8 million). 

Development CGU
The recoverable amount of the development CGU has been determined based on a Fair Value Less Disposal Cost basis. 
This method involves referencing the fair value of investment properties held within the CGU less disposal costs. Fair value 
is determined in line with the relevant AASB standards and is completed by an independent valuer or Director approved 
internal valuation. Current market referenced disposal costs have been applied. As a result of this analysis, the current year 
development CGU goodwill has been impaired to nil (30 June 2022: $4.8 million).

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The calculation of value in use for the ICMT Rental CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions: 

 – Discount Rates

 – Net Operating Income

 – Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period

Discount rates 
Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration 
the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow 
estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments 
and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The 
cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the 
interest-bearing borrowings the Group is obliged to service. Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying individual 
beta factors. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data. Adjustments to the discount 
rate are made to factor in the specific amount and timing of the future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate. 
A rise in the pre-tax discount rate for the ICMT Rental CGU of 5% to 12.5% would result in an impairment. 

Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income (NOI) represents the aggregate total revenue less operating expenses at the property level for 
the respective CGU on an after tax basis. Tax rate applied reflects Ingenia’s long-term corporate tax rate. In determining 
NOI, Management have utilised internally approved budgets and forecasts based on the FY24 budget and beyond. 
Further, contained within these forecasts is the projected settlement profile of new homes sold at each property. Changes 
to the settlement profile will impact the NOI utilised to calculate ICMT Rental CGU’s value in use. A decline in NOI of 
approximately 49% would result in an impairment in the ICMT Rental CGU.

Growth rate estimates 
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s long-term inflation target is between 2% and 3%. Rental agreements with residents, which 
forms the majority of revenue, are predominantly linked to a “CPI+” rent review structure. All rental agreements for newly 
built homes are on a “CPI+” rent review structure. Taking into account internally approved budgets/forecasts and general 
cost inflation, Management have adopted a long-term growth rate of 3.0% for the ICMT Rental CGU. In order for the ICMT 
Rental CGU to record an impairment, the long-term growth rate would need to be negative.

In the 31 December 2021 and 30 June 2022 financial statements, the initial accounting for the business combination was 
provisional as the allocation of goodwill between the CGUs had not been completed. Upon finalisation of such allocation in 
the current year, the 30 June 2022 comparatives were adjusted to allocate the goodwill between the Lifestyle Development 
and Lifestyle Rental segments (Note 3).

Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2023 | continuedFinancial Statements163

15.  Business combinations and asset acquisitions (continued)
From the date of acquisition, Seachange contributed $4,821,000 of revenue and $338,000 of profit before tax from 
continuing operations of ICMT. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of FY22, ICMT’s revenue would have 
increased by $8,265,000 and the profit before tax would have increased by $579,000.

The goodwill recognised was primarily attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining the assets 
and activities of Seachange with those of the Group, resulting in a new premium brand for the Group in the growth corridor 
of South East Queensland, integration of a highly-regarded and experienced management team and building development 
capacity in one of the Group’s key markets. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. 

Refer to Note 15 for key assumptions used in the impairment testing of the goodwill.

The tax effected carried forward tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised in the current year 
relates to capital losses of $3.1 million (30 Jun 2022: $3.5 million). A deferred tax asset for revenue losses not recognised at 
30 June 2022 of $5.9 million has now been recognised. 

The availability of carried forward tax losses to the ICMT tax consolidated group is subject to recoupment rules at the time 
of recoupment. Further, the rate at which certain of the revenue losses can be utilised is determined by reference to market 
values at the time of tax consolidation and subsequent events. The carried forward capital losses can only be recouped from 
future capital gains.

The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities, if and only if, it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and 
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax 
authority.

22.   Commitments 
ICF has commitments for capital expenditure on investment properties and inventories contracted but not provided for at 
reporting date of $0.4 million (30 Jun 2022: $0.8 million). ICMT has commitments for capital expenditure on investment 
properties and inventories contracted but not provided for at reporting date of $4.8 million (30 Jun 2022: $15.7 million).

At 30 June 2022, Ingenia had committed to invest up to $3.0 million to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with Land Lease 
Home Loans (LLHL) a loan originator specifically focused on providing secured home loans to residents of land lease 
communities. The SPV provided loans to borrowers seeking to acquire a new lifestyle home within an Ingenia community. 
In August 2022, the loan of $1.0 million was fully repaid and the commitment was released following LLHL obtaining third 
party funding.

During the period, a lease for office space was signed with a commencement date in FY24. The expected minimum lease 
payments over the term of the lease are $3.0 million.

During the period, Ingenia entered into an arrangement to acquire Plantations (land lease) adjoining land for a purchase 
price of $18.8 million (inclusive of GST) on or before 30 April 2024. As at 30 June 2023, a deposit of $0.9 million has already 
been paid. 

23.  Contingent liabilities
The Trusts have the following contingent liabilities:

 – Bank guarantees totalling $24.1 million provided for under the $780.0 million bank facility. Bank guarantees primarily relate 

to the Responsible Entity’s AFSL capital requirements ($10.0 million).

24.  Capital management
The capital management of ICF and ICMT is managed at a consolidated Group level (ICH and subsidiaries). 

The Group aims to meet its strategic objectives, operational needs and maximise returns to security holders through the 
appropriate use of debt and equity, taking account of the additional financial risks of higher debt levels. 

In determining the optimal capital structure, the Group takes into account a number of factors, including the views of 
investors and the market in general, the capital needs of its portfolio, the relative cost of debt versus equity, the execution 
risk of raising equity or debt, and the additional financial risks of debt including increased volatility of earnings due to 
exposure to interest rate movements, the refinance risk of maturing debt facilities and the potential for acceleration prior 
to maturity. 

In assessing this risk, the Group takes into account the relative stability of its income flows, the predictability of its expenses, 
its debt maturity profile, the degree of hedging and the overall level of debt as measured by gearing.

The actual capital structure at a point in time is the product of a number of factors, many of which are market driven and 
to various degrees outside of the control of the Group, particularly the impact of revaluations, the availability of new equity 
and the liquidity in real estate markets. While the Group periodically determines the optimal capital structure, the ability 
to achieve the optimal structure may be impacted by market conditions and the actual position may often differ from the 
optimal position.

One measure of the Group’s capital position is through the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) which is a key covenant (less than 55%) 
under the Group’s $780.0 million common terms debt facilities. LVR is calculated as the sum of bank debt, bank guarantees, 
ground leases, and interest rate swaps, less cash at bank, as a percentage of the value of properties pledged as security. The 
Group’s strategy is to maintain an LVR range of 30-40%. As at 30 June 2023, the LVR of 31.4% (30 June 2022: 25.7%).

In addition, the Group monitors Interest Cover Ratio (ICR) as defined under the common terms of the debt facilities. At 
30 June 2023, the Total Interest Cover Ratio was 4.67x (30 Jun 2022: 8.51x) and the Core Interest Cover Ratio was 5.30x 
(30 Jun 2022: 7.45x). The covenant for total ICR and Core ICR is greater than 2x.

25.  Financial instruments

(a)  Introduction
The Trusts’ principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, interest bearing liabilities, other financial liabilities, 
cash and short-term deposits and derivative financial instruments.

The main risks arising from the Trusts’ financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Trusts manage the exposure to these risks primarily through the Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing 
Policy. The policy sets out various targets aimed at restricting the financial risk taken by the Trusts. Management reviews 
actual positions of the Trusts against these targets on a regular basis. If the target is not achieved, or the forecast is unlikely 
to be achieved, a plan of action is, where appropriate, put in place with the aim of meeting the target within an agreed 
timeframe. 

Depending on the circumstances of the Trusts at a point in time, it may be that positions outside of the Investments, 
Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy are accepted and no plan of action is put in place to meet the treasury targets, because, 
for example, the risks associated with bringing the Trusts into compliance outweigh the benefits. The adequacy of the 
Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy in addressing the risks arising from the Trust’s financial instruments is 
reviewed on a regular basis. 

While the Trusts aim to meet the Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy targets, many factors influence the 
performance, and it is probable that at any one time, not all targets will be met. For example, the Trusts may be unable to 
negotiate the extension of bank facilities sufficiently ahead of time, so that they fail to achieve their liquidity target. When 
refinancing loans they may be unable to achieve the desired maturity profile or the desired level of flexibility of financial 
covenants, because of the cost of such terms or their unavailability. Hedging instruments may not be available, or their cost 
may outweigh the benefit of risk 

reduction or they may introduce other risks such as mark to market valuation risk. Changes in market conditions may limit 
the Trusts ability to raise capital through the issue of units or sale of properties.

The main risks arising from ICMT’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. These risks are not separately managed. Management of these risks for the ICF may result in consequential changes 
for ICMT.

(b)  Interest rate risk
The Trusts’ exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates arises primarily from its use of borrowings. The main 
consequence of adverse changes in market interest rates is higher interest costs, reducing the Trust’s profit. In addition, one 
or more of the Trust’s loan agreements may include minimum interest cover covenants. Higher interest costs resulting from 
increases in market interest rates may result in these covenants being breached, providing the lender the right to call in the 
loan or to increase the interest rate applied to the loan. 

The Trusts manage the risk of changes in market interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate 
borrowings. Fixed rate debt is achieved either through fixed rate debt funding or through derivative financial instruments 
permitted under the Investments, Derivatives, and Borrowing Policy. At 30 June 2023, approximately 12% of the Trust’s 
borrowings are at a fixed rate (30 June 2022: 17%) with interest rate derivatives in place to provide further rate protection. 
Consequently, exposure to interest rates on 53% of the drawn debt has been managed (30 Jun 22: 28%).

Exposure to changes in market interest rates also arises from financial assets such as cash deposits and loan receivables 
subject to floating interest rate terms. Changes in market interest rates will also change the fair value of any interest rate 
hedges.

(e)  Foreign exchange risk
The Trusts’ exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited to foreign denominated cash balances and receivables following the 
divestment of its final overseas operations in December 2014. These amounts are unhedged as cash will be used to cover 
final costs to wind up the companies and receivables relate to escrows.

(f)  Net foreign currency exposure
The Trusts net foreign currency monetary exposure as at reporting date is shown in the following table. The net foreign 
currency exposure reported is of foreign currencies held by entities whose functional currency is not the Australian dollar. 
It excludes assets and liabilities of entities, including equity accounted investments, whose functional currency is not the 
Australian dollar.

The impact of an increase or decrease in average foreign exchange rates of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables 
held constant, is considered to be limited based on the foreign exchange risk exposures in existence at balance sheet date.

The Trusts believe that the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in its financial 
instruments.

(g)  Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the 
Trusts. 

The major credit risk for the Trusts is default by tenants, resulting in a loss of rental income while a replacement tenant is 
secured and further loss if the rent level agreed with the replacement tenant is below that previously paid by the defaulting 
tenant.

The Trusts’ assess the credit risk of prospective tenants, the credit risk of in-place tenants when acquiring properties and 
the credit risk of existing tenants renewing upon expiry of their leases. Factors taken into account when assessing credit risk 
include the financial strength of the prospective tenant and any form of security, for example a rental bond, to be provided. 

The decision to accept the credit risk associated with leasing space to a particular tenant is balanced against the risk of the 
potential financial loss of not leasing up vacant space.

Rent receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and arrears actively followed up in order to reduce, where 
possible, the extent of any losses should the tenant subsequently default.

25.  Financial instruments (continued)
The Responsible Entity believes that the Trusts’ receivables that are neither past due nor impaired do not give rise to any 
significant credit risk.

Credit risk also arises from deposits placed with financial institutions and derivatives contracts that may have a positive 
value to the Trusts. The Trusts’ investment, derivatives, and borrowing policy sets target limits for credit risk exposure with 
financial institutions and minimum counterparty credit ratings. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all 
obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Trusts, after allowing for appropriate set offs which are legally 
enforceable.

The Trusts’ maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial instrument is the carrying 
value as reported in the balance sheet.

(h)  Liquidity risk
The main objective of liquidity risk management is to reduce the risk that the Trusts do not have the resources available 
to meet their financial obligations and working capital and committed capital expenditure requirements. The Trusts’ 
investment, derivatives, and borrowing policy sets a target for the level of cash and available undrawn debt facilities to cover 
future committed expenditure in the next year, loan maturities within the next year and an allowance for unforeseen events 
such as tenant default. 

The Trusts may also be exposed to contingent liquidity risk under its term loan facilities, where term loan facilities 
include covenants which if breached give the lender the right to call in the loan, thereby accelerating a cash flow which 
otherwise was scheduled for the loan maturity. The Trusts monitor adherence to loan covenants on a regular basis, 
and the investment, derivatives, and borrowing policy sets targets based on the ability to withstand adverse market 
movements and remain within loan covenant limits.

In addition, the Trusts ensures resilience against breaking its covenants on its primary debt facilities by assessing the 
following sensitivities:

 –

10% reduction in value of assets for LVR covenants; and

 –

2% nominal increase in interest rates combined with a 5% fall in income for ICR covenants.

The contractual maturities of the Trusts’ non-derivative financial liabilities at reporting date are reflected in the following 
table. It shows the undiscounted contractual cash flows required to discharge the liabilities including interest at market rates. 
Foreign currencies have been converted at rates of exchange ruling at reporting date.

(i)  Other financial instrument risk 
The Trusts carry residents’ loans at fair value with resulting fair value adjustments recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income. The fair value of these loans is dependent on market prices for the related retirement village units. 
The impact of an increase or decrease in these market prices of 10% at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, 
is shown in the table below. This analysis is based on the residents’ loans in existence at reporting date.

Independent  Audit or's Repor t  t o t he unit holder s of Ingenia Communit ies Fund

Report  on t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Fund (the “ Trust” ) and its subsidiaries
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at  30 June 2023, the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equit y and
consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

a)

giving a t rue and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit  in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act  2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (t he Code) that  are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Key Audit  Mat t ers

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the
matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial report.

1. Valuat ion of Invest ment  Propert ies

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We assessed the controls in place relevant

to the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the valuation
methodology used across the portfolio and
tested the valuation reports for
mathematical accuracy on a sample basis

• We assessed the qualifications, competence
and objectivity of the independent valuation
experts used by the Group

• We assessed the Group’s internal valuation
methodology and tested the mathematical
accuracy of the valuation models. We also
assessed the competence, qualifications
and objectivity of the internal valuer

• On a sample basis, we compared the

property related data used as input for both
the external and internal valuations against
actual and budgeted property performance

• On a sample basis, we considered the key
inputs and assumptions used in the
valuations by comparing this information to
external market data

• Our real estate valuation specialists
reviewed a sample of internal and
independent valuations to determine
whether the key judgements and
methodology used were reasonable

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory assets.

Investment properties (both those recorded as
investment properties and those included within
equity accounted investments) comprise 54.9% of the
Group’s total assets. These assets are carried at fair
value, which was assessed by the directors with
reference to either external independent valuations
or internal valuations based on market  conditions
existing at reporting date.

The valuation of investment properties is inherently
subjective given that there are alternative
assumptions and valuation methods that may result
in a range of values.

The Group has three categories of investment
properties as disclosed in Note 9 of the financial
report.

•

•

•

The Garden Villages portfolio consists of
investment properties earning revenue
predominantly from longer term rental
agreements and the key valuation judgements
include capitalisation rates, market and
contractual rents and forecast occupancy levels.

The Lifestyle portfolio consists of investment
properties earning revenue from a mix of longer-
term land rental agreements and short-term
accommodation rental. Lifestyle home sales.

The Tourism portfolio consists of ‘Holidays and
Mixed Use’ investment properties earning
revenue from short-term residential and tourism
rentals.

The key judgements in the valuations include
assumptions related to the long and short-term rental
income, capitalisation rates, discount rates, market
and cont ractual rents, forecast short-term and
residential occupancy levels, historical t ransactions
and remaining development potential for vacant land.
In assessing the development  potential, additional
key judgements include future new homes sales
prices, estimated capital expenditure and allocation
of costs between investment property and inventory,
discount rates, projected property growth rates and
operating profit margins.

Accordingly, the valuation of investment properties
was considered a key audit matter.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued

Emphasis of Mat t er – Revised and Reissued Financial Report

We draw your attention to note 33 of the financial report, which describes that the financial statements
have been revised and reissued as a result of certain information being incorrectly stated in the
aggregate compensation paid to Key Management Personnel disclosure. This audit report supersedes
our report issued to the ASX on 22 August 2023. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Informat ion Ot her t han t he Financial Report  and Audit or’s Report

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s 2023 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection wit h our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit  or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that  fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilit ies of t he Direct ors for t he Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement , whether due to fraud or
error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Audit or's Responsibilit ies for t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whet her due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not  a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance wit h the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgment  and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit  evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal cont rol.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to t he audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s abilit y to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that  a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, st ructure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that  achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit . We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate wit h the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit  and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that  a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent  Audit or's Repor t  t o t he unit holder s of Ingenia Communit ies
Management  Trust

Report  on t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Ingenia Communities Management Trust (the “ Trust” ) and its
subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2023,
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:

a)

giving a t rue and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023
and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

b)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit  in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act  2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including Independence Standards) (t he Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other et hical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Key Audit  Mat t ers

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial report.

1. Valuat ion of Invest ment  Propert y

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

Approximately 73%of the Group’s total assets
comprise investment properties (both those
recorded as investment properties and those
included within equity accounted investments).
These assets are carried at  fair value, which
was assessed by the directors with reference to
either external independent valuations or
internal valuations and is based on market
conditions existing at reporting date.

The Group has three categories of investment
properties as disclosed in Note 9 of the
financial report.

•

•

•

The Garden Villages portfolio consists of
investment properties earning revenue
predominantly from longer term rental
agreements and the key valuation
judgements include capitalisation rates,
market  and contractual rents and forecast
occupancy levels.

The Lifestyle portfolio consists of
investment properties earning revenue
from a mix of longer-term land rental
agreements and short-term
accommodation rental. In addition, the
Group earns revenue from the sale of
manufactured homes to residents of the
properties.

The Tourism portfolio consists of ‘Holidays
and Mixed Use’ investment properties
earning revenue from short-term
residential and tourism rentals.

The valuation of investment properties is
inherently subjective given that  there are
alternative assumptions and valuation methods
that may result in a range of values.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We assessed the Group’s controls in

place relevant to the valuation process;

• We evaluated the suitability of the

valuation methodology used across the
portfolio and tested the valuation
reports for mathematical accuracy on a
sample basis;

• We assessed the qualification,

competence and objectivity of the
independent valuation experts used by
the Group;

• We assessed the Group’s internal

valuation methodology and tested the
mathematical accuracy of the valuation
models. We also assessed the
competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the internal valuer;

• On a sample basis, we compared the

property related data used as input for
both the external and internal valuations
against actual and budgeted property
performance;

• On a sample basis, we considered the

key inputs and assumptions used in the
valuations by comparing this information
to external market data;

• Our real estate valuation specialists
reviewed a sample of internal and
independent valuations to determine
whether the key judgements and
methodology used were reasonable; and

• We assessed the appropriateness of the

allocation of capital expenditure between
investment property and inventory
assets.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2023 | continued

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

The key judgements in the valuations include
assumptions related to the long and short-
term rental income, capitalisation rates,
discount rates, market and contractual rents,
forecast  short-term and residential occupancy
levels, historical t ransactions and remaining
development potential for vacant land. In
assessing the development potential,
additional key judgements include future new
homes sales prices, estimated capital
expenditure and allocation of costs between
investment property and inventory, discount
rates, projected property growth rates and
operating profit margins.

Accordingly, the valuation of investment
properties was considered a key audit  matter.

2. Goodwill impairment  t est ing

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s consolidated
balance sheet  includes goodwill with a
carrying value of $91.8 million, representing
6.4% of total assets.

As set out in Note 11 of the financial report,
the Group have assessed goodwill for
impairment at 30 June 2023. The Group has
recorded an impairment expense as detailed in
Note 11 of the financial report.

The assessment involved a value-in-use model,
based upon discounted cash flow forecasts
being used to calculate the recoverable
amount of each of the Group’s of cash
generating units (CGUs).

The assessment is a judgmental process which
requires estimates concerning the forecast
future cash flows associated with the CGUs,
the discount rates and the growth rate of
revenue and costs to be applied in determining
the value in use or fair value less cost  of
disposal.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We assessed the Group’s determination
of the CGUs used in the impairment
model, based on our understanding of
the nature of the Group’s business and
the economic environment in which the
segments operate. We also considered
internal reporting of the Group’s
results to assess how earnings and
goodwill are monitored and reported;

• We evaluated whether the

methodology met the requirements of
Australian Accounting Standards;

• We assessed the mathematical

accuracy of the value in use cash flow
models prepared by the Group to
determine recoverable amount;

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

The estimates and assumptions relate to
future performance, market and economic
conditions. Significant assumptions used in
the impairment testing referred to above are
inherently subjective and in times of economic
uncertainty the degree of subjectivity is higher
than it might otherwise be. Changes in certain
assumptions can lead to significant changes in
the recoverable amount of these assets.

The disclosures in the financial report provide
important information about the assumptions
made in the impairment testing and the
market  conditions at 30 June 2023.

Accordingly, we considered the impairment
testing of goodwill and related disclosures in
the financial report to be a key audit matter.

• We assessed the underlying

assumptions regarding future cash
flows and agreed the forecast  used in
the models to the Board approved
business plans taking into
consideration the historical accuracy of
the Group’s cash flow forecasting;

• We assessed the key assumptions such
as the discount rates and growth rates
(including terminal growth rates)
applied in the models, with reference to
external industry and market  data and
involvement from our valuation
specialists;

• We performed sensitivity analysis on

key assumptions including discount
rates, net operating income and
development profit forecasts for
relevant CGUs; and

• We evaluated the adequacy of the
related disclosures in the financial
report including those made with
respect to judgments and estimates.

Emphasis of Mat t er – Revised and Reissued Financial Report

We draw your attention to note 33 of the financial report, which describes that the financial statements
have been revised and reissued as a result of certain information being incorrectly stated in the
aggregate compensation paid to Key Management Personnel disclosure. This audit report supersedes our
report issued to the ASX on 22 August 2023. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Informat ion Ot her t han t he Financial Report  and Audit or’s Report

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s 2023 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection wit h our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or
our knowledge obtained in the audit  or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that  fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilit ies of t he Direct ors for t he Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement , whether due to fraud or
error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Audit or's Responsibilit ies for t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whet her due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not  a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance wit h the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgment  and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:













Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit  evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to t he audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not  for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s abilit y to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as
a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, st ructure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit . We remain solely
responsible for our audit  opinion.

We communicate wit h the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate
threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that  a matter should
not  be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
