About us

REIMAGINE
URBAN
LIFE

What we do
We’re a creator, owner and manager of some 
of Australia’s most renowned and recognisable 
projects, with a strategy to be focused, 
diversified and integrated. This means:

–   deploying capital with discipline and 

Our purpose 
Our purpose, Reimagine Urban Life, is our 
passion and our reason for being. 

As one of Australia’s leading property groups, 
we are continuously driven to think about how 
we can enhance the lives of those who work, 
shop or live in and around our developments.

When we reimagine urban life, we’re inspired 
to think about not only what we do and how 
we do it, but importantly, why we do it. We 
are constantly looking for new ways to help 
our customers lead fuller, richer and more 
rewarding lives. 

We don’t just build buildings; we create unique 
urban precincts and residential communities. 
We’re shaping a future that combines the latest 
in technology, sustainability and architectural 
design. We’re at the forefront of reimagining 
the way Australian city dwellers interact and 
utilise the spaces around them. 

We bring our purpose to life by harnessing 
the unique skill set of our people across each 
of the sectors we operate in; and through our 
purpose, we’re inspired to deliver outstanding 
urban environments that will leave a lasting 
legacy for generations to come.

delivering on our promises, with a strong 
focus on our customers (focused);

–   maintaining an appropriate balance of 

passive and active invested capital through 
cycles, and retaining capability across the 
office and industrial, retail and residential 
sectors (diversified); and

–   leveraging our integrated model to create, 
own and manage quality Australian assets 
(integrated).

Our strategy and decision making are guided 
by four core principles: maintaining an urban 
focus; maximising the value of our assets; 
flexing our activities through the cycle; and 
maintaining an appropriate capital structure 
and cost base.

Underpinning our strategy is a commitment 
to our people, innovation, technology, 
sustainability and safety. We’re passionate 
about creating long-term value for our 
securityholders, and having a positive impact 
on the communities in which we operate.

Both our strategy and our ambition to 
reimagine urban life continue to produce 
strong results across the business.

About us
Mirvac is an integrated, urban property group 
listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, 
with an enviable reputation for delivering some 
of the best real estate projects in Australia.

We own and manage assets across the office, 
retail and industrial sectors in our investment 
portfolio, and currently have over $19 billion  
of assets under management. 

Through our development activities, we 
create and deliver innovative and high-quality 
commercial assets and residential projects for 
our customers, while driving long-term value 
for our stapled securityholders.

We have an integrated approach that gives us 
a competitive advantage across the lifecycle 
of a project. From site acquisition, urban 
planning and design, through to construction 
and development, leasing, sales and marketing, 
property management and long-term 
ownership, we exercise control over the  
entire process.

Our integrated model also ensures a stable 
income and growth through a balance of 
passive and active capital, allowing us to 
respond to fluctuations in the property cycle. 

We have over 45 years of experience in the 
property industry, and a passion for creating 
sustainable, connected and vibrant urban 
environments for people to work, shop, live  
and play.

STATUTORY PROFIT

Chairman’s Report
Mirvac delivered another strong result in 
FY18, driven by the continued execution of 
its focused, diversified and integrated urban 
strategy, as well as its purpose to Reimagine 
Urban Life. The strategy, set in place five  
years ago, has transformed the business  
in a significant way. This is reflected by a 
strong capital position with good visibility  
of future earnings, an engaged and energised 
team of people, and each business unit 
continuing to perform at the top of its class.  
We remain committed to excellence, and to 
serving our customers and the communities  
in which we operate.

Financial highlights

Our strategy to focus on the best performing 
and deepest markets of Sydney and 
Melbourne, and on the areas where we have  
a proven competitive advantage, resulted in  
a statutory profit in FY18 of $1.09 billion. This 
was driven by a very strong performance in 
our Office & Industrial business, and we have 
now achieved a statutory profit of more than 
$1 billion for the past three years, an excellent 
reflection of the strength of our business.

At an operating level, our profit was up almost 
9 per cent to $580 million, representing 
15.6 cents per stapled security, driven by 
strong earnings in our residential business. 
We achieved a strong operating cash flow 
of $663 million, up 29 per cent, and we paid 
distributions of 11.0 cents per stapled security, 
up 6 per cent.

We are now reaching the mature age of the 
current property cycle, and remain focused 
on creating long-term value and growing 
distributions to our securityholders.

Capital management

Mirvac has a prudent approach to capital 
management that ensures our balance sheet 
remains robust and provides us with the 
flexibility to deploy capital where and when 
we need.  Our integrated business model 
also means we are well placed to adapt and 
respond to changes in market cycles.

During the financial year, our healthy balance 
sheet and strong capital position were 
recognised with Moody’s Investors Service 
upgrading our credit rating from a Baa1 to 
A3, reflecting the quality of our investment 
portfolio and development business, as well as 
our strong financial metrics. Separately, S&P 
revised Mirvac’s credit rating outlook from 
stable to positive, while maintaining a BBB+ 
rating. Gearing also remained within our target 
range of between 20 and 30 per cent at  
21.3 per cent. 

As part of a disciplined approach to capital 
allocation, we initiated an on-market buy-back 
program during the financial year for up to 2.6 
per cent of Mirvac securities on issue.

Our overall earnings profile remains 
solid, supported by a strong commercial 
development pipeline and a high-quality 
investment portfolio.

Corporate governance

Trust in institutions in Australia deteriorated 
during this financial year. The Royal 
Commission into misconduct in the financial 
services industry has ultimately highlighted 
the crucial role boards must play in setting an 
organisation’s tone and culture.

Having served as Mirvac’s Chairman for the 
past five years, I can say with confidence that 
your Mirvac board is committed to promoting 
a culture that is fair, ethical and transparent. 
We believe that companies such as ours have a 
duty to do the right thing – for our employees, 
our customers, the wider community, and of 
course, for our securityholders. 

The responsibility to set the tone and culture 
at Mirvac is shared between the Board and 
its leadership team, and in this regard, I am 
also confident we have the right people in 
place. Mirvac’s leadership team is unwavering 
in its commitment to embed a culture 
that is authentic and values integrity and 
respect, while delivering long-term value and 
sustainable growth.

We are committed to ensuring that our 
systems, procedures and practices reflect  
high standards of corporate governance.  
As well as a Code of Conduct – which applies 
to the Board, Mirvac’s executives, employees 
and contractors – we have a Fraud, Bribery 
and Corruption Policy that outlines our 
commitment to preventing these things in  
our workplace.

The Board meets regularly to discuss matters 
such as Mirvac’s strategy, the Group’s activities 
and operations, the outlook for the business, 
risks, and remuneration. To further enhance 
its stewardship of the Group in the year ahead, 
the Board will increase its focus on technology 
and design, and on Mirvac’s relationships with 
its customers, suppliers, capital partners  
and government.

Remuneration 

As always, we remain committed to providing 
open and transparent reporting of our 
remuneration outcomes. During the financial 
year, we completed a wholesale review of our 
performance and reward framework. This 
resulted in some changes to our approach 
to performance management, including 
the performance ratings (which apply to all 
employees). There have also been some 
changes to executive remuneration, such as 
increasing the mandatory minimum security 
holdings for both Non-Executive Directors and 
key management personnel, and adjusting the 
weightings of the LTI performance measures, 
which are reflected in the CEO & Managing 
Director’s LTP award for FY19.

A full copy of the remuneration report for FY18 
is available on page 51.

Diversity & Inclusion 

We remain committed to fostering a safe 
and respectful environment that champions 
diversity of thought, and leverages the views  
of a demographically diverse workforce. 

As well as maintaining a 50 per cent gender 
representation on our Board, we continue to 
seek a 50/50 gender balance on shortlists for 
senior appointments, and we have closed the 
gender pay gap on like-for-like roles. We are 
also working to have at least 40 per cent of 
senior management roles filled by women  
by 2022. 

Our work on striving for gender equality at 
Mirvac was once again recognised by the 
Workplace Gender Equality Agency, with 
the Group receiving the Employer of Choice 
for Gender Equality citation for the fourth 
consecutive year. 

Outlook 

Our work over the past five years to transform 
the business means we are well-positioned 
to withstand changing market cycles. Our 
high-quality investment portfolio will continue 
to provide secure and growing income to the 
Group, while our development activities allow 
us to create and deliver superior commercial 
assets and residential projects.

There is no doubt we are in the midst of great 
change, with technology and the densification 
of our cities having the potential to significantly 
impact our business. Mirvac’s robust capital 
management and a strong corporate 
governance framework will ensure we can 
maintain a resilient business that provides 
growth to our securityholders, while leaving  
a lasting legacy for our customers and the 
wider community.

I would like to thank the Board, our senior 
leadership team and our people for their 
contribution to the Group over the past  
12 months. I would also like to thank you,  
our securityholders, for your ongoing  
support of Mirvac.

Letter to securityholders

CEO & Managing  
Director’s Report:
At Mirvac, we have a purpose to Reimagine 
Urban Life, which inspires us to deliver superior 
projects and services for our customers, while 
making a positive contribution to Australia’s 
urban landscape. 

I am pleased to say that in FY18 we continued 
to see our purpose in action, delivering strong 
results for you and ensuring we have a resilient 
and sustainable business that is well-placed 
for the future.

Operational excellence 

The transformation of our Office & Industrial 
portfolio over the past five years is delivering 
exceptional results, with the benefits of the 
work we have done to reposition the office 
portfolio now being realised. We are one  
of Australia’s largest office managers, with  
$12 billion of assets under management, and 
our high-quality portfolio allows us to attract 
tenants with long lease periods, delivering 
quality income to the Group. Through our 
unique asset creation capability, we are also 
creating one of Australia’s youngest and  
lowest capex portfolios, with the portfolio  
value set to increase as the development 
pipeline completes.

Our industrial portfolio is 100 per cent focused 
to Sydney and continues to perform well. We 
are looking to grow our industrial portfolio and 
assets under management through the Mirvac 
Industrial Logistics Partnership, which we 
formed with an investment vehicle sponsored 
by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing 
during the financial year.

While the retail sector continued to face 
headwinds during the financial year, our 
portfolio of bespoke urban retail centres has 
again delivered consistent results. We have a 
strategy to deliver unique experiences for our 
customers, and in response to the changing 
nature of retail we have shifted our focus to 
experiential retail categories, such as food 
and entertainment. This approach, along 
with our strategic weighting to the best and 
most resilient urban markets, has ensured 
a sustained outperformance in this sector 
since we launched our new strategy over five 
years ago, with our sales activity increasing by 
approximately 40 per cent.

The residential market has returned to 
more normalised conditions, having seen 
unprecedented price growth in the past five 
years. While demand from offshore investors 
has softened, Mirvac’s reputation for delivering 
superior products for our customers through 
passionate attention to detail has ensured we 
are still a favoured residential brand among 
owner-occupiers. As market conditions 
become more challenging, quality will make the 
difference between a project that performs and 
a project that does not, and we are seeing solid 
demand for our projects across the country. 
We achieved our target of approximately 3,400 
residential lot settlements during the financial 
year, and delivered a return on invested capital 
of 18.1 per cent. Our residential gross margin of 
over 25 per cent reflects our strategy to focus 
on the strong Sydney and Melbourne markets, 
as well as our ability to buy and sell at the right 
time in the property cycle. 

Launch of build-to-rent

Mirvac has long championed the benefits of 
a build-to-rent sector in Australia, so it was 
with great delight that we launched our first 
build-to-rent club in July this year with the 
Clean Energy Finance Corporation investing 
30 per cent as a cornerstone investor. The club 
introduces to Mirvac a new asset class and 
secure revenue stream, along with a new and 
growing customer base. 

The seed asset for the club will be Indigo 
at our Pavilions project at Sydney Olympic 
Park in NSW, which will include dedicated 
onsite leasing and management, high-quality 
amenities, a resident program and leading 
sustainability features. We are committed to 
offering an exceptional rental experience at 
Indigo, and we are thrilled to be pioneering  
our first purpose-built build-to-rent asset  
in Australia.

Our people

Having an engaged workforce is essential 
to our success, as without an enthusiastic, 
curious and passionate team of people,  
we would not be able to deliver such strong 
results to you. 

I was delighted that Mirvac achieved an 
employee engagement score of 90 per cent 
this financial year, as measured by Willis Tower 
Watson, which was an increase of 2 per cent 
on last year. We also remain above the Global 
High Performing Norm and significantly above 
the Australian National Norm. 

ENGAGINGINTUITIVECONSISTENT Mirvac Group  

  FY18 Annual Report

Importantly, the results from the employee 
engagement survey show that our people 
believe in our purpose and our strategy; feel 
challenged and valued at work; have trust 
in Mirvac as a socially and environmentally 
responsible company; and feel that their 
health and wellbeing is prioritised. I would like 
to thank our senior leadership team for their 
continued efforts to ensure we are providing  
a workplace for our people that inspires them 
to do their best.

Health & Safety  

The safety of our people is non-negotiable,  
and we continued to pursue excellence in 
safety during the financial year, with positive 
results. Our thorough and proactive approach 
resulted in steady improvement in both the 
lost time injury frequency rate and the total 
recordable injury frequency rate during the 
financial year, reflecting our ongoing work to 
improve and modernise our safety and risk 
processes and systems. 

While safety is a top priority, we also recognise 
that sustained performance is best delivered 
when our people feel engaged, energised and 
enabled. With this in mind, we broadened our 
focus to include health and wellbeing, and 
in August last year we launched Thrive, our 
new health and safety strategy. You can read 
more about our initiatives under the strategy, 
including our participation in the Virgin 
Pulse Global Challenge (in which we placed 
first globally in the Property & Real Estate 
category) on page 32.

Diversity & Inclusion 

Having a diverse and inclusive workplace 
means creating an environment where  
different backgrounds, opinions and ideas  
are accepted, encouraged and celebrated.  
We know that having diversity of thought  
leads to better business outcomes.

Gender equality is one of the key pillars of 
our diversity and inclusion strategy, and 
during the financial year we were the first 
Australian property group to receive White 
Ribbon workplace accreditation. White Ribbon 
workplaces promote respectful relationships 
within the workplace, where no violence in any 
form will be tolerated, and the accreditation 
helps us to strengthen a culture of respect and 
gender equality at all levels.

As part of our commitment to gender equality, 
we also updated our shared care leave policy 
to provide primary carers with 20 weeks of 
paid parental leave, and four weeks of paid 
leave for partners. The new policy makes it 
easier for both parents to access paid parental 
leave, while also helping us to attract and 
retain the best talent. 

Importantly, we now pay superannuation on 
unpaid leave, doing our part to ensure that 
parents who take time out of the workforce to 
raise a family are not disadvantaged in building 
wealth for retirement.

Achieving gender diversity in our construction 
business is another area we have been  
focused on and in August last year, we 
launched Aspire, a 12-month development 
program which aims to grow the female talent 
pool in construction, particularly at the project 
and management levels.

To further support inclusivity and diversity  
of thought, we have also delivered a number  
of workshops to help our leaders understand 
the importance of different perspectives  
and work style preferences.   

Sustainability

Mirvac launched its ground-breaking 
sustainability strategy, This Changes 
Everything, in 2014, and we have accomplished 
a considerable amount in that time. Some of 
the key highlights to date include: installing 
over one megawatt of solar power through 
Mirvac Energy; managing the first building 
in Australia to achieve 6 Star Green Star 
Performance, 6 Star NABERS Energy and 6 
Star NABERS Water ratings, without the use 
of GreenPower; reducing our carbon intensity 
by 21 per cent and water intensity by 22 per 
cent since 2014; increasing our construction 
recycling rates to 95 per cent and operational 
recycling to 70 per cent; implementing  
Mirvac’s first Reconciliation Action Plan;  
and prototyping our first House with No Bills.

We remain whole-heartedly committed to 
being a force for good, and in June this year, 
we launched the next phase of This Changes 
Everything. In the new phase of the strategy, 
we will focus on six key material issues under 
three focus areas: reimagining resources, 
enriched communities and transparent 
governance. We believe that by zeroing in  
on the most relevant issues and opportunities, 
we can drive deeper results in those areas.  
We have also committed to directing $100 
million towards organisations that are 
purpose-driven by 2030, as well as reaffirming 
our industry-leading commitments to be net 
positive in carbon and water and send zero 
waste to landfill by 2030.

Innovation

Our award-winning innovation program, 
Hatch, produced some excellent initiatives 
in FY18. These include Cultivate, a pop up 
urban farm in the basement of EY Centre, 200 
George Street in Sydney, which we created in 
partnership with Farmwall Melbourne; as well 
as The Third Space, a unique co-working hub 
at Broadway Sydney. We have also rolled out 
Shopping Nanny at Birkenhead Point, Moonee 
Ponds Central and Rhodes Waterside following 
the success of the initiative at Kawana 
Shoppingworld, and we have plans to launch 
a pet concierge service at Green Square in 
Sydney in partnership with the RSPCA NSW.

Outlook

While we are certainly seeing a shift in market 
conditions, particularly in the retail and 
residential sectors, the steps we have taken to 
transform our business over the past few years 
will ensure we remain resilient and well placed 
for the future. 

We have a purpose that we are passionate 
about; a purpose that guides us in both what 
we do and how we do it. This is important, 
because as we have seen recently, companies 
who put profit over purpose will ultimately fail. 
We need to be both for profit and for purpose – 
the two must go hand in glove.

Additionally, we have a modern and 
high-quality asset creation business that 
continues to benefit from urbanisation, 
population growth and increased infrastructure 
spending, and our focus on creating and 
delivering value for our customers and our 
securityholders will ensure continued  
earnings growth.

Underpinning our success is our people and I 
am exceptionally proud of the culture we have 
embedded at Mirvac. Together, we work hard 
to ensure that the places and communities we 
are creating are sustainable, innovative and 
connected, and have our customers at  
their centre.

On behalf of our Executive Leadership Team, 
I would like to thank the Board for their 
guidance over the year, our Mirvac employees 
for their hard work and dedication, and I would 
also like to thank you, our securityholders,  
for your continued support.

Things that are shaping our world

Australia’s urban centres have seen significant change in recent years,  
and we are cognisant of several key trends. While the climate in which  
we’re working is challenging in many ways, our purpose provides a platform 
which informs our response. By making choices which reimagine urban 
life, we are working to mitigate the risks, uncover the opportunities and  
find new ways for our business to be a force for good.

The densification of our cities
The recent population boom has seen 
Australia’s capital cities evolve at a rapid pace, 
particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, and 
demographics have shifted accordingly. As our 
cities adapt to this increased density and the 
challenges it brings, we are more aware than 
ever of our need to develop in collaboration 
with our key stakeholders, including local and 
state governments, not-for-profit organisations 
and the community. With this in mind, we’re 
placing an increased focus on community 
consultation, while continuing to leverage  
our integrated model to deliver sustainable  
and resilient urban developments. After  
all, a positive legacy is as much about 
enhancing human connections as it is  
about quality buildings.

Housing affordability 
With Australia’s population increasing, so is the 
demand for housing in our urban capital cities. 
In addition to developing a diverse range of 
products, which cater to our customers’ needs, 
Mirvac continues to tackle housing affordability 
through targeted initiatives such as The Right 
Start, which makes home ownership more 
accessible for first home buyers. Meanwhile, 
Mirvac’s House with No Bills research project is 
continuing to pave the way for more affordable 
living, and this year we have also begun to 
address the needs of renters with the launch 
of the first build-to-rent club in Australia. While 
affordability is not something that can be 
solved overnight, we believe that by leveraging 
our strengths and providing quality products, 
we can help make a difference. Read more 
about what we’re doing in this area on page 29.

Stakeholder engagement 
Trust in institutions is at a low point in 
Australia, and it’s up to companies like 
Mirvac to be a force for good. This year, we 
have taken important steps to continue to 
build trust, by collaborating more with our 
partners and stakeholders and placing more 
emphasis on transparency as part of our 
revised sustainability strategy We recognise, 
for example, how critical it is to conduct early 
community engagement consistently across 
our proposed development projects. You 
can read more about our new sustainability 
strategy on page 38. 

We have also undertaken comprehensive 
research to learn what our most influential 
stakeholders expect from us, and have 
committed to sharing our progress more 
proactively than ever before. While we are  
a high-performing and trusted organisation,  
we are always looking to learn how we  
can improve.

Climate change 
In 2015, Australia joined 195 other countries  
in signing the Paris Agreement: a commitment 
to limit global warming to no more than 2 
degrees Celsius by the end of the century. 
As the 11th-largest emitter of carbon per 
capita in the world, Australia still has a long 
way to go – and with the built environment 
representing 25 per cent of the country’s total 
emissions, leadership from property companies 
can influence progress. Reducing our carbon 
footprint will not only be good for the 
environment, it will also have a direct impact 
on our customers, who are feeling the pressure 
of escalating energy costs.

Since making our industry-leading 
commitment to achieve net positive carbon 
emissions by 2030, Mirvac has made excellent 
progress, reducing our carbon intensity by 21 
per cent, installing over one megawatt of solar 
PV, and starting our own energy company. 
This year, as part of the next phase of our 
sustainability strategy, we have made our work 
to reduce risks associated with climate change 
more explicit. With a soon-to-be-released white 
paper setting out our plan for the remainder 
of our net positive journey, we look forward to 
seeing the change continue.

A long capital growth  
cycle winds down
Buying and selling at the right time in the 
property cycle has enabled us to deliver 
sustainable returns to our securityholders for 
the past five years, and when we approach 
any new acquisitions we are mindful of the 
fundamentals needed to maintain growth. We 
are focused on responding to changes in the 
property cycle appropriately, while prudently 
managing our business risks. We believe the 
residential market in particular has passed 
the top of the cycle, so we will continue to be 
extremely selective in deploying capital to 
secure new projects. 

Technology 
From smart metering to the Internet of Things, 
technology has empowered us to achieve 
remarkable things – and the pace of change is 
only increasing. We are already seeing a shift in 
the way people work, which we’re responding 
to with cutting-edge design at our office 
and industrial assets. Modular technology 
is changing the way we construct, solar and 
batteries are becoming a reality for more 
Australians, artificial intelligence is finding its 
way into our everyday lives, and driverless cars 
are heading our way. While the increasing role 
of technology does pose some risks – leading 
to our increased investment in cyber security 
and data ethics – there’s also a lot to be gained 
from the vast amount of data that’s becoming 
broadly available. Whether through building 
management systems or Google traffic data, 
the opportunities to learn about our customers’ 
needs will only increase – and so does our 
capacity to respond.

A thorough look at the risks that have the 
potential to impact our business, and the steps 
we’re talking to mitigate these, can be found 
on page 36.

WE HAVE A CLEAR OBJECTIVE TO 
UTILISE OUR UNIQUE SKILL SET 
AND CREATE HIGH-PERFORMING 
WORKPLACES THAT RESPOND 
TO THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF OUR 
CUSTOMERS; WORKPLACES THAT 
FOSTER GREATER COMMUNICATION, 
COLLABORATION AND FLEXIBILITY, 
AND ARE ADAPTIVE TO THE RAPID 
CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY. 

Our office portfolio also features an impressive 
list of sustainability credentials, including  
five assets that have achieved 6 Star Green 
Star ratings, two 6 Star NABERS Energy rated 
assets, and a 5.1 Star NABERS energy portfolio 
average rating. Our unwavering commitment 
to sustainability is nowhere more evident  
than at our office building, Sirius House in 
Canberra, which has achieved a sweep of  
three 6 Star ratings across energy, water  
and building performance. 

Along the way, we’ve built strong partnerships. 
From co-creating with tenants, to consulting 
with urban planners and our capital partners, 
collaboration is fundamental to what we 
do. These relationships have elevated 
our offering and presented new avenues 
for growth. Whether we’re investing in 
technology, pioneering greater sustainability 
or anticipating trends, we’re here to reimagine 
urban life, and shape the future of work 
in Australia.

Our focus on high-quality assets is 
demonstrated by an office portfolio comprised 
of over 97 per cent Prime or A-grade assets, 
concentrated to the strong Sydney and 
Melbourne markets. Our 84 per cent weighting 
to these two cities is set to increase with  
the completion of around $3 billion of 
development projects currently underway.  
Our strong forward-looking office development 
pipeline includes 477 Collins Street in 
Melbourne, where we are delivering the 
Group’s largest office development, as well  
as Australian Technology Park, which we are 
revitalising into a thriving commercial and 
community precinct.

By FY21, we will have delivered one of 
Australia’s youngest and lowest capex 
portfolios, which will be an important 
differentiator for Mirvac as the current cap 
rate cycle comes to an end. The high-quality, 
innovative assets we are creating today  
ensure that Mirvac is well-positioned 
to outperform and return value to our 
securityholders in the future.

As an owner and manager we not only have 
an interest in the long-term success of our 
assets, we actively invest in them too. From 
delivering new end-of-trip facilities to fibre 
optic backbones, we believe in creating places 
where our tenants can perform at their best.

INDUSTRIAL  With 100 per cent weighting to Sydney 1, 

our ability to design, develop and construct 
assets tailored to our customers’ needs 
gives us a unique competitive advantage  
in the industrial sector.

WE HAVE DELIVERED SOME OF 
AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST AND MOST 
NOTABLE INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS 
PARKS, INCLUDING NEXUS INDUSTRY 
PARK, HOXTON DISTRIBUTION PARK 
AND CALIBRE, ALL IN NSW. EACH 
OF THESE INDUSTRIAL ESTATES 
CARRIES THE MARK OF OUR 
UNCOMPROMISING COMMITMENT  
TO QUALITY AND VALUE.

Our experience in the industrial sector has 
resulted in good relations with a range of 
stakeholders at community and government 
level, helping to deliver high-quality facilities 
in key locations, as well as associated 
infrastructure such as roads, bridges  
and landscaping. 

In August last year we formed the Mirvac 
Industrial Logistics Partnership with an 
investment vehicle sponsored by Morgan 
Stanley Real Estate Investing, and through  
this partnership we intend to build scale in  
our industrial business.

With the industrial sector currently benefiting 
from increased tenant demand, we remain 
focused on urban edge development 
opportunities, and on industrial assets with 
long lease terms and secure cash flow profiles

Working closely with our tenants, we’re able 
to develop facilities that are customised to 
the needs of their business, with accessibility, 
functionality and sustainability at the core of 
the design. We recognise the importance of 
taking the time to understand the needs of our 
tenants’ businesses, to allow for flexibility and 
growth through innovative workplace design. 

We’re currently completing Calibre at Sydney’s 
Eastern Creek, which has direct access to 
the M4 and M7 motorways, and development 
potential for over 120,000 square metres of 
prime grade industrial, logistics and warehouse 
facilities. Offering the perfect business solution 
for employee wellbeing and supply chain 
efficiency, Calibre is redefining the way office 
and industrial facilities are designed. In fact, 
our tenant at Building 1, CEVA, enjoys the 
space we’ve created for them so much that 
they now are actively ensuring that their  
future logistics assets are built to the same 
high standard.

We also have the ability to unlock value  
in existing industrial areas, upgrading  
or repositioning buildings for new forms  
of employment.

“Our commitment to quality goes well beyond 
developing and managing buildings. We pride ourselves 
in taking a personalised approach to customer care, 
aiming to provide our tenants with adaptive and 
intuitive workplaces that best suit their needs.”

INNOVATION

At Mirvac, we know how important it is to have 
a positive impact on the communities in which 
we operate, and this is particularly true at 
Australian Technology Park (ATP) in Sydney, 
which has a significant and vibrant Aboriginal 
history. In fact, more than 25 different 
Aboriginal groups have been recorded as 
having occupied the Sydney region, which 
is located on the land of the Gadigal people 
of the Eora Nation. Recognising and paying 
respect to the site’s rich cultural history has 
underpinned our approach to community 
engagement at this project and through 
focused and meaningful engagement, we have 
seen our relationships with local businesses 
and not-for-profits in the area continue to go 
from strength to strength. 

PEOPLE &
LEADERSHIP

SAFETY

Connecting with the community 

Through our close and ongoing relationship 
with Tribal Warriors, for instance, we’ve been 
able to provide full-time employment for two 
local Aboriginal community members, with 
five people going through our Indigenous 
employment program. Our employees have 
also continued their support of Tribal Warriors’ 
Clean Slate Without Prejudice program, 
attending early morning boxing sessions 
that are run for young people in the area, 
with the support of the Redfern police. The 
program has been credited with breaking 
down the barriers between the two groups and 
promoting more positive pathways for the local 
youth. In addition to this, we’ve held a number 
of team building sessions on Tribal Warriors’ 
Aboriginal cultural cruises, with Mirvac 
employees enjoying a day on Sydney Harbour 
while learning about Australia’s Indigenous 
history and culture.

TECHNOLOGY

Another exciting relationship we’ve established 
at ATP is with Aboriginally-owned group, 
Yerrabingin, which we’ve engaged to deliver 
a cultural landscaped garden in the precinct, 
as well as an urban rooftop farm on Building 3. 
The garden, to be designed and managed by 
Yerrabingin, will showcase native plant species 
of cultural significance to Aboriginal people 
from the Redfern area, as well as New South 
Wales more widely. The proposed rooftop 
farm, meanwhile, will combine permaculture, 
Indigenous knowledge and innovative design 
to deliver a unique experience for tenants 
and visitors of ATP, and enhance the precinct 
with greater biodiversity and green space. A 
range of workshops and educational activities 
will be held throughout the year, covering 
bush food tastings and using native produce 
in everyday cooking, through to sustainable 
gardening practices and Aboriginal astronomy. 
Yerrabingin will also coordinate Living 
Libraries on the rooftop farm, bringing key 
speakers together to share their personal 
stories on subjects such as Aboriginal civil 
rights, traditional society and practice, and the 
Aboriginal business sector.

SUSTAINABILITY
AT ATP 

Mirvac is placing significant emphasis  
on sustainability at ATP. All three buildings in 
the precinct are targeting 6 Star Green Star 
Design and As Built ratings, with Buildings 
1 and 2 targeting 6 Star Green Star Interiors 
ratings, both of which constitute world 
leadership in sustainable design.  
Buildings 1 and 2 are also targeting 5 Star 
NABERS Energy ratings and 4 Star NABERS 
Water ratings.

We’re also implementing a highly-efficient 
precinct-wide solar PV solution. The solar 
systems we’re employing are expected to 
generate enough renewable energy for us 
to achieve our NABERS ratings on Buildings 
1 and 2, while delivering a carbon neutral 
Building 3. 1

The use of high-performance facades with 
shading and motorised blinds have also been 
designed to make each building more energy 
efficient by reducing reliance on heating  
and cooling. 

Artist’s Impression, Australian Technology Park, Redfern, NSW

In addition to this, Buildings 1 and 2 are  
being constructed with large atriums 
featuring skylight roof sections to allow more 
natural light to flow through the building. 

Each building has been equipped with 
carefully designed roof drainage systems,  
as well as rainwater harvesting tanks, in order 
to reduce on-site water consumption.

Mirvac is also targeting a minimum  
95 per cent diversion of its construction 
and demolition waste from landfill, and has 
committed to the Green Star Construction 
and Demolition Waste Reporting Criteria. 
This criteria has been developed by the 
Green Building Council of Australia to ensure 
that contractors and waste processing 
facilities are operating with environmentally 
responsible due diligence.

Giving to those who do good

Mirvac also believes in championing 
organisations who are doing good things in the 
community, and last year, a community grants 
program was established to provide support 
for community welfare, education and youth 
leadership programs, innovation and cultural 
projects. Since launching the grants program, 
we’ve provided approximately $47,000 in 
support to local organisations, including the 
Redfern All Blacks, with Mirvac sponsoring 
their Koorie Knockout competition; the Redfern 
Community Centre; The Shepherd Centre, who 
help children with hearing difficulties prepare 
for school; and the Milk Crate Theatre, who are 
working to change the story of homelessness 
through performance art. Mirvac also 
contributed financial support to revamping the 
‘40,000 years’ mural, which is opposite Redfern 
Station, and has been an icon of the local 
Indigenous community for the past 35 years.

While we continue to progress with the 
development of ATP, our aim is to not only 
maintain but build on the strong relationships 
we’ve established, and to help extend our good 
relationships to the project’s major tenant, 
Commonwealth Bank. We believe that in doing 
so we will leave a legacy that we can all be 
proud of.

In February 2018, our innovation team, Hatch, 
fast-tracked its eight missions, one of which 
is to extract greater value from under-utilised 
assets. With driverless cars becoming more of 
a reality, the team saw a great opportunity to 
make better use of carparks within Mirvac’s 
portfolio. The concept: to transform these 
spaces into thriving urban farms.

A café in the precinct, The Avenue, has  
also become involved, and has asked us to  
grow specific types of produce that they  
feature on their menu, making a very short  
farm-to-plate trip.  

TECHNOLOGY

Cultivate has delivered some unexpected 
wellbeing benefits too. When participants were 
surveyed before and after spending an hour at 
the farm, 40 per cent said they left feeling less 
stressed. Interest in the project is growing, and 
we see huge potential to scale the idea now 
we’ve demonstrated that it can work. We’ve 
extended Cultivate for another 12 months and 
we’ve now employed an urban farmer to manage 
the facility and educate volunteers.

One exciting innovation has been Cultivate, 
a pilot project in the basement carpark of 
EY Centre, 200 George Street in Sydney. 
Partnering with Farmwall Melbourne, we 
invited employees from Mirvac and EY to get 
involved in the six-week project, which would 
essentially see them become urban farmers. 
Over 200 people volunteered, growing and 
harvesting produce such as micro greens, 
salad leaves and oyster mushrooms, which are 
grown from used coffee grounds supplied by 
Virgin Air. The process is made possible by 
automatic watering and high-powered lamps 
that accelerate growth, and it’s 100 per cent 
organic with zero waste.

Sustainability has been a key feature at Sirius 
House at 23 Furzer Street, Canberra for some 
time, and this year we enjoyed a standout 
success when Sirius became the first building 
in Australia to achieve a 6 Star NABERS 
Energy rating, a 6 Star NABERS Water rating 
and a 6 Star Green Star Performance rating, 
without the use of GreenPower or externally-
sourced recycled water.

The Mirvac team has worked hard to optimise 
energy and water performance at Sirius, 
and since FY13 they have reduced carbon 
emissions by 33 per cent and reduced water 
consumption by over 50 per cent. This has 
been made possible, in part, by the large-
scale solar PV system installed at Sirius in 
2014. While our 2030 net positive goal has 
certainly provided motivation to achieve these 
outcomes, we could not have done it without 
collaborating with our stakeholders, particularly 
our tenant, the Department of Health. It’s 
exciting to see what we can achieve when we 
work together.

Over the past 18 months, we’re pleased  
to say we have found an effective solution,  
one that has the added benefit of having  
a positive social impact. Through our  
ongoing relationship with Social Traders,  
an organisation that connects businesses 
with social enterprises, Mirvac has teamed up 
with Mates on the Move: an initiative of the 
Prisoners Aid Association of NSW, established 
to create employment opportunities for men 
and women making the transition from the 
justice system. Through this partnership,  
we have been able to start collecting paper 
towels and coffee cups across ten of our sites 
in NSW, reducing contamination and improving 
our recycling. 

In the first 12 months, we’ve collected over 
90 tonnes of paper towels and coffee cups, 
receiving some very positive feedback from 
retailers, tenants, and facility managers. On 
the back of this success, we are looking for 
opportunities to work with Mates on the Move 
more extensively, and have raised awareness 
about their work within the industry via the 
City of Sydney Better Buildings Partnership.

RETAIL

Mirvac owns and manages a $3.2 billion 
portfolio of shopping centres across 
Australia’s eastern seaboard, with a  
focus on growth assets in key urban  
and metropolitan markets.

We have positioned our portfolio towards 
key metropolitan markets that demonstrate 
urbanisation, population growth, deep 
employment markets and high household 
wealth. This strategy has been successfully 
executed with the acquisition of centres in 
growth locations and the divestment of assets 
in weaker regional markets over the past five 
years. We have continued to focus on dense 
urban areas, particularly in Sydney, where 
almost 70 per cent of our portfolio is located, 
which is benefiting from ongoing population 
growth, as well as growth in domestic and 
overseas tourism.

We are focused on disciplined development 
and capital investment as part of our 
commitment to creating great experiences for 
our customers. We have invested significantly 
in our assets to improve overall ambience and 
amenity, as well as evolving the retail mix of our 
tenancies to meet our customers’ expectations. 
This has seen us increase our exposure to 
dining, entertainment and leisure, as well as 
services. Since 2014, we have delivered a 
number of unique and highly-innovative retail 
spaces, and we are continuing to explore new 
and exciting ways to realise the full potential  
of our assets. 

Our overweight to experiential retailers and  
the ability to tailor the retail offer at each 
individual asset are also key contributors to 
the success of our portfolio. We know that 
having the right retail mix and delivering the 
right customer experience will drive a strong 
performance. As a result, our centres offer 
bespoke retail environments that reflect  
the values of their local communities, along 
with a brand identity that resonates with  
their customers.

Sustainability is also fundamental to our retail 
operations and there are few better examples 
than Kawana Shoppingworld on Queensland’s 
Sunshine Coast, where we have implemented 
an industry-leading waste initiative. Our on-site 
processing system, Pulpmaster, converts food 
waste into a liquid waste, generating a clean 
source for organic compost and diverting  
over 170 tonnes of food and organic waste 
from landfill.

Over the past four years, our This Changes 
Everything sustainability strategy has helped 
us to increase waste diversion from landfill in 
our Retail business from 33 per cent to 75 per 
cent, and increase our waste streams from 
five to 22. We’re continuing to educate our 
customers and their cleaning teams on the 
value of waste separation, and making it  
easier for them with colour coding and 
wayfinding signage.

Orion Springfield Central in Queensland is one 
of the most environmentally-friendly shopping 
centres in Australia. Through innovative design

CATERING TO 
OUR CUSTOMERS:

As we reimagine our centres to be more than 
just retail, we’ve been asking customers what 
they really want – and in several locations,  
we are delivering some interesting innovations  
in response.

AN ENHANCED
RETAIL EXPERIENCE

Having carried out Hatch-style research 
at Orion Springfield Central in QLD, we 
discovered that many customers considered 
their dog to be an integral part of the family 
and were more likely to visit places that were 
dog-friendly. In response to this, we have since 
developed two dog parks at Orion, and we’re 
working with retailers to create dog-friendly 
dining zones. We know that interaction with 
animals brings health benefits, and it’s also 
a great way for people to make connections 
within their community. 

Catering to canines is just one way we are 
making our retail centres more inviting.  
In April this year, we transformed the main 
shopping street at Orion into a venue for the 
Jacaranda Dinner: a fundraising banquet 
supporting the local Ipswich Hospice; while 
at Rhodes Waterside in Sydney, we invested 
$500,000 in a large, all-weather playground.

Broadway Sydney means our customers have 
easy access to everything the centre provides, 
including grocery shopping, retail, restaurants  
and entertainment.

As the nature of retail becomes more fluid,  
the need to create meaningful spaces 
becomes more and more important.  
We’re excited by the opportunities this  
new era of retail represents.

“Increasingly, our retail centres 
are about much more than retail – 
they’re places for people to connect. 
By engaging with the community  
and listening to our customers’ 
needs, we’re able to deliver unique 
retail experiences.”

TECHNOLOGY

Mirvac Energy is a key component of our path 
to net positive and has been a game changer 
for our business. In the last year, we’ve learned 
a huge amount from our two pilot sites, Orion 
Springfield Central, QLD and Darling Island, 
NSW. One of the most important things we’ve 
learnt was the complexity of installing solar 
PV systems, particularly when the asset in 
question is being used by the public. As well 
as overcoming installation challenges, we had 
to get up to speed with the administrative 
aspects of running an energy company, from 
generating Renewable Energy Certificates to 
developing power purchase agreements.  
Of course, once the systems were in place, 
there was also much to be learned about how 
they would perform and operate.

One of the distinct advantages that Mirvac 
has, however, is the significant roof space  
our retail assets provide, allowing us to 
generate and store higher levels of renewable 
energy onsite.

We are now looking at installing solar at 
more of our properties and tapping into 
advancements and innovations in solar.

Proving the Mirvac Energy model

Off-site solar opens up new opportunities

Another way we’re looking to expand 
Mirvac Energy is by installing off-site solar 
PV systems. We are exploring this idea in 
Melbourne, with plans to install a solar PV 
system at an industrial asset owned in the 
Mirvac Industrial Logistics Partnership. The 
aim is that it will generate renewable energy 
which we then purchase for use at 477 Collins 
Street. Using GreenPower Connect™, we’re 
using our purchasing power to link assets 
that have roof space for solar PV with assets 
that consume renewable energy, for excellent 
environmental performance. With their large 
roof spaces and low energy requirements, 
our industrial assets have great untapped 
potential, and we believe that through off-site 
solar solutions we can start to take advantage 
of this. 

Through our pilot projects, we’ve proven that 
the model can work. Having hit our initial 
targets and familiarised ourselves with the 
process, we’ve now commenced work on two 
new Mirvac Energy projects. The first of these 
has seen us install 180kW of solar PV at 664 
Collins Street in Melbourne, which we did 
in partnership with AGL, our tenant at both 
664 Collins Street and the neighbouring 699 
Bourke Street. This was the first time we have 
installed solar PV during the construction 
process, and we are proud that the system is 
now up and running. 

Our second project will involve installing 
approximately 750kW of solar PV at ATP in 
Sydney. This will be done across the three 
buildings, one of which will be net zero carbon. 
In addition, we are observing and capitalising 
on the rapidly-evolving options for renewable 
energy through ever-improving technology 
and installation, including lightweight modular 
systems, and systems able to adapt to the 
changing needs of buildings and owners.

Together, these teams enabled six cubic

to both Eastbank Edible Garden and local 
strawberry farm Suncoast Harvesting. The 
project was included as part of Kawana’s 
National Recycling Week Showcase, and 
attracted visits from the Queensland Shadow 
Minister for Environment, Science & The Great 
Barrier Reef Mr David Crisafulli, as well as 
Member for Kawana Mr Jarrod Bleijie.

With the first crops of strawberries now being 
harvested and sold back to Kawana, our 
customers are quite literally enjoying the fruits 
of our labour.

In December 2016, Mirvac installed the 
Pulpmaster at Kawana Shoppingworld, QLD:  
an on-site system that processes food and 
organic waste, which is then transformed into 
high-quality compost. In its first 12 months,  
the Pulpmaster enabled Kawana to divert  
20 tonnes of food and organic waste from 
landfill, and this year, it inspired a closed  
loop recycling solution.

On Mirvac’s National Community Day, 
the Kawana team volunteered at a local 
not-for-profit, Eastbank Edible Garden, 
and immediately saw potential to use the 
Pulpmaster compost at the garden. From 
there, they developed a closed loop solution 
in collaboration with the two local suppliers 
involved in the Pulpmaster recycling process: 
JJ Richards & Sons, who collect the liquid 
waste from Kawana, and Wood Mulching 
Industries, who turn the waste into fertiliser. 
Healthy Land & Water also supported  
the project.

ATTENTION  
TO DETAIL 

RESIDENTIAL  
SNAPSHOT

Our rigorous approach to planning, design, 
development and construction ensures our 
customers receive the quality they expect 
and deserve, and our attention to detail and 
commitment to customer service is second 
to none. We have a name that is synonymous 
with excellence and quality, demonstrated 
by a strong history of repeat customers and 
countless industry awards. The unrivalled level 
of customer loyalty we enjoy is clear evidence 
that living in a Mirvac house, townhouse or 
apartment is an experience worth repeating. 

The key to our success is that we listen to our 
customers and we’re passionate about every 
little detail, whether it be the location of power 
points in the home, or the kitchen tiles that 
repel red wine stains. Our customers know 
that when they choose us, they’re choosing 
a company who is reimagining urban life to 
enrich their lives, promote their health and 
happiness, and leave a legacy to be enjoyed  
for years to come. 

With design, development, construction and 
marketing sitting under one roof, we’re also 
able to respond to our customers readily 
and easily. Our teams have worked together 
on a number of diverse projects across 
Australia, encompassing both masterplanned 
communities and apartments. The cross-
pollination of knowledge allows for greater 
learnings, better insights, and ensures an 
integrated and focused approach. 

Our history of delivering significant urban 
renewal projects across Australia is also 
remarkable. This is evidenced by projects 
such as Walsh Bay in Sydney NSW, where 
we reinvigorated a deteriorating wharf 
area into a leading residential, commercial 
and cultural precinct; as well as the highly-
acclaimed Beacon Cove in Melbourne, where 
we revitalised a derelict and unused industrial 
area near the Port Melbourne waterside. More 
recently, we’ve delivered over 1,200 apartments 
at Harold Park in Sydney, transforming the 
former Harold Park Paceway into a thriving 
community that balances density, sustainability 
and quality of life.

We’re also actively encouraging more 
sustainable lifestyles by offering solar and 
batteries to our customers, and contributing 
to addressing the affordability issue from a 
number of angles, including The Right Start 
initiative and our House with No Bills study  
in Melbourne. 

Our passion for delivering high-quality 
residential projects and communities is 
unwavering, and we will continue to undertake 
complex urban renewal projects where we 
can leverage our unique skill set across every 
aspect of the development.

TECHNOLOGY

As a developer of major projects on the 
urban fringe, we’re acutely aware of the 
challenges that can come from living further 
away from central business districts and the 
infrastructure and social interactions they 
provide. We recognise how important is it to 
create a sense of belonging and reduce social 
isolation, which research shows can lead to 
issues such as depression, family violence, 
substance abuse, obesity, discrimination  
and distrust. 

That’s why we’re focused on helping to build 
a strong social fabric in new communities, 
and at Woodlea and Olivine in Victoria 
we’ve employed a dedicated community 
development manager to ensure that the 
communities we’re creating are vibrant, 
dynamic, safe and connected. 

By building quality relationships, through 
listening and collaborating with our customers, 
our partners and local council early on, we also 
feel confident that the communities we deliver 
will be healthy, resilient and sustainable, and 
that we’ll leave a positive legacy for those  
who live there. 

Creating connections

Encouraging residents to form relationships 
with their neighbours is essential to building 
strong community engagement, and we’ve 
been mindful of the need to create spaces 
where human connections can grow and  
take shape. 

At Woodlea, for instance, which we’re 
developing in a joint venture with Victoria 
Investments & Properties, we’ve built the 
Smart Learning Hub that is used for a range 
of activities, such as mothers’ groups and play 
groups, and has also become something of an 
incubator for jobs and education. 

As well as being a space where local providers 
can run short courses, we have directly 
brokered a relationship at the hub between 
our civil contractors at Woodlea, Winslow 
Constructors, educational services group, 
Djerriwarrh, and Jobs Victoria, to train over  
100 people since 2016. 

The benefits of this have been plentiful,  
and so far, we’ve witnessed at least 12 local 
community members obtain meaningful  
full-time employment in the construction 
industry as a result. In addition to this, the 
training responds to a need for a skilled and 
capable workforce in the area to keep pace 
with civil construction demand. 

A community garden, boasting a pizza oven, 
has also been used to host regular pizza 
nights and it’s been exciting to see residents 
of Woodlea now coordinating community 
activities themselves.

The learnings we’ve taken from Woodlea 
are now being extended to Olivine, where 
we’re in the process of building a central 
community hub called Olivine Place. Olivine 
Place will provide a venue for community 
events, festivals, workshops and learning 
opportunities, as well as a place for residents 
to gather and plan activities. We’ve engaged 
a not-for-profit organisation, Grassroots 
Placemakers, to run a social enterprise café 
where they’ll hold classes for disadvantaged 
members of the local community and provide 
opportunities for them to work. Finally, 
with edible gardens having been offered to 
residents as part of their home package, we’re 
exploring the opportunity to run regular food 
fairs from Olivine Place, where residents can 
share produce with one another.

With community expectations for early and 
proactive consultation increasing, we’ve 
committed to having dedicated community 
relations representatives at each of our 
greenfields projects, and we are placing much 
greater emphasis on a consistently high 
standard of community consultation.

“At Woodlea, we’re seeing the benefits that come 
with investing in social and physical infrastructure 
early on. Already, this community is flourishing.  
It’s a great example of how Mirvac’s integrated 
model delivers all parts of a project.”  
Stuart Penklis, Head of Residential 

Paying homage to history

Acknowledging the history of a place can 
play an important role in defining its future. 
At Woodlea, we partnered with Melton 
City Council, the Caroline Springs RSL and 
numerous local community groups to deliver 
a commemorative Walk of Honour. Featuring 
educational plaques, storytelling through 
smartphone apps and artistic interpretations, 
the 500 metre walk pays tribute to the 
Australians affected by wars over the past 
century, while celebrating the site’s history 
as a radio signals station during World War II. 
Importantly, the walk also acknowledges those 
who have found refuge in Australia after being 
displaced from their own countries as a result 
of war. The walk, which finishes at Woodlea’s 
Town Square, is expected to be completed in 
time for Remembrance Day this year.

Olivine will likewise pay homage to the area’s 
farming history and celebrate its natural 
surrounds, with the retention of many of the 
site’s majestic 200-year-old river red gums. 
Every home at Olivine is within walking 
distance to a park or green open space,  
while landscaped pedestrian paths and cycling 
tracks will connect neighbourhoods to schools 
and the town centre. 

To ensure we’re building more cohesive 
communities at both Woodlea and Olivine, 
we’re also committed to the early delivery of 
infrastructure, such as schools, parks, and 
sporting facilities. We know that by providing 
these services to our new residents, we’re 
facilitating a sense of belonging, and ultimately, 
giving our customers a better opportunity to 
live healthy and happy lives. 

QUT STUDY
AT WOODLEA
This year, Mirvac commenced a five-year 
study in partnership with Queensland 
University of Technology that will track the 
emotional wellbeing and connectedness of 
residents at Woodlea. The project, Woodlea 
Connect, combines traditional forms of 
research with qualitative data that could 
potentially influence the way resources 
are allocated in future stages of Woodlea. 
It is also our hope that the study starts 
conversations to determine key issues 
facing the community over the medium 
term, allowing us to implement strategies at 
Woodlea that enhance wellbeing outcomes, 
and to learn more about well being which  
we can apply at our future developments.

GASPT AT 
A GLANCE 
Last year, Mirvac announced it would 
be piloting a new community building 
partnership, the Growth Areas Social Planning 
Tool (GASPT), at Olivine. Led by the City of 
Whittlesea and developed in collaboration 
with a range of fringe councils and state-level 
agencies, the innovative social planning tool 
aligns with our objective to boost liveability, 
increase connections and reduce social 
disadvantage in new greenfield communities. 

The tool formalises Mirvac’s current  
approach to community engagement,  
while also allowing us to measure our outputs. 
By addressing social planning and resourcing 
gaps, we’ll be better placed to respond 
to some of the challenges experienced 
by residents in our new urban-fringe 
communities. Our intention is to use GASPT 
to plan future services at Olivine, which will 
be delivered over the next 10 to 15 years, 
and to use our findings to inform future 
masterplanned communities projects.

The tool was also a key driver in Olivine 
being selected by the City of Melbourne to 
form part of the 100 Resilient Cities initiative. 
Established by the Rockefeller Foundation,  
the initiative is aimed at helping cities around 
the world respond to the physical, social  
and economic challenges we face in the  
21st century.

SERVICING OUR RESIDENTS,
ONE SHUTTLE BUS AT A TIME 
Through our work on the Walk of Honour, 
we’ve formed a strong and trusting 
relationship with the Caroline Springs RSL. 
When the RSL purchased a mini-bus to help 
transport some of their less-able-bodied 
members, it led to a fantastic opportunity 
for Mirvac and the RSL to work together 
and trial a shuttle service to and from the 
Rockbank V/Line Railway station. Running 
from Monday through to Friday during  
peak times, the three-month trial will be 
provided to residents free of charge.  
The service not only gives residents a safe 
and reliable way to get to Rockbank station 
while improvements to walking and cycling 
paths outside of the estate continue to be 
made, it also instils a sense of pride and 
purpose for the team of volunteer drivers 
who come through the RSL.

MY IDEAL HOUSE:

DESIGNING 
FOR GREATER 
FLEXIBILITY

In FY17, Mirvac teamed up with House & 
Garden Magazine to run a competition for 
designers, architects and students. The brief: 
to design a modular house that would be 
relevant to families in the suburbs. Entries 
were judged on three criteria: sustainability, 
liveability and flexibility. After choosing  
a winner from a field of over 80 entrants,  
we spent a large part of FY18 bringing 
the concept to life at our Gledswood Hills 
masterplanned community in NSW, and in 
June 2018, the community was invited inside 
the finished product. 

The winning design is special for a number of 
reasons. Firstly, it has a modular flexible design 
that means the layout can be adapted to work 
on different blocks – enabling us to achieve a 
north-facing orientation on any site (the key to 
passive energy efficiency). The flexibility of the 
design also means it is versatile enough to suit 
families of all shapes and sizes, and change as 
families move through different life stages. 

Sustainability was an important consideration 
throughout the development, especially in  
the selection of the construction materials.  
The home makes use of solar, has a Tesla 
battery, CSR Hebel brickwork, LED lighting, 
and responsibly-sourced plantation timber. 
The home recently sold at auction, with  
Mirvac donating $50,000 of the profits to  
The Salvation Army. We are also excited to see 
how the design concept may help us elevate 
our approach at masterplanned communities 
across our residential business.

SOLAR ENERGY:

INCREASING
IN SCALE 

SUSTAINABILITY

Promoting renewable energy to residential 
customers hasn’t always been easy, especially 
given the associated price tag. This year, 
however, we began to see real traction in 
this space, with our research indicating that 
over 50 per cent of our customers are now 
interested in solar and batteries, and are 
willing to pay for it. Our challenge is now 
working out the best ways to provide more 
people with access to this technology in 
different development contexts, and we 
have begun by offering solar upgrades as 
an optional extra to all of our masterplanned 
communities customers. Apartment 
customers have also been given the chance 
to benefit from renewables, with solar offered 
to a small number of residents at Ascot Green 
in Brisbane and Marrick & Co in Sydney. 
Meanwhile, in Western Australia, solar is 
improving community spaces, powering  
Wi-Fi enabled park benches across  
several locations.

Pioneering a collaboration with the Clean 
Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)

The CEFC is a government organisation 
dedicated to funding energy efficiency 
projects, and in an Australian-first, the CEFC 
has agreed to provide $90 million to fund 
three of Mirvac’s upcoming masterplanned 
communities projects in New South Wales 
and Queensland. This investment will enable 
Mirvac to construct these developments at 
a lower cost, with the amount saved to be 
directed towards clean energy initiatives.  
We anticipate the CEFC partnership will 
enable us to install solar and battery 
technology in around 300 homes, along  
with features we include as standard,  
such as LED lighting.

BUILD-TO-RENT:

THE START OF A
NEW SECTOR

Artist’s Impression

In Australia, renters now make up a large 
proportion of the population, with the 
demographic of renters having changed 
dramatically. Recognising an opportunity 
to help meet the evolving needs of our 
customers, we were thrilled to launch the 
Australian Build to Rent Club (ABTRC or 
the club) in July this year, with the CEFC 
committing to a 30 per cent interest as a 
cornerstone investor.

The seed asset for the club, and our first 
purpose-built build-to-rent asset, will be  
Indigo at Mirvac’s Pavilions project at 
Sydney Olympic Park in NSW, Mirvac’s fourth 
building in the precinct. 

With a customer-first focus, Mirvac is 
committed to offering an exceptional rental 
experience at Indigo, with dedicated on-site 
leasing and concierge, high-quality amenity, 
a resident program, and leading sustainability 
features. Mirvac will act as the development, 
investment and property manager.

The club will not only provide renters with 
better choice, better quality and better 
security of tenure, it introduces a new asset 
class and customer base for Mirvac. Indigo is 
due for completion in FY21, and we are proud 
to be pioneering this new sector in Australia.

Artist’s Impression, Pavilions, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW

Affordability continues to be an issue in some 
parts of Australia, particularly in Sydney and 
Melbourne, and we are harnessing our skill  
set and expertise in the industry to do what  
we can to address the issue. We remain 
committed to ensuring the homes we deliver 
are more affordable for our customers to 
maintain by using high-quality materials 
and investing in cutting-edge, sustainable 
construction technology. 

Our House with No Bills is one of the most 
innovative projects we’re undertaking, with 
the ultimate aim – to reduce utility bills (while 
reducing our reliance on energy). 

Designed to deliver real-life insight into 
affordable living, construction on the House 
with No Bills home has now been completed 
with a family of four selected to live in the 
house, rent and bill free, for a 12-month 
period, giving us the chance to see how our 
carefully designed pilot home works in action. 
The house features an array of cost-saving 
sustainability elements, and its sensors, which 
track how the space is used, will provide us 
with good insights into how we can offer these 
features more widely. 

We have engaged the Cooperative Research 
Centre for Low Carbon Living to extract and 
analyse data from the house, interview the 
tenants and provide monthly reports. We look 
forward to publishing these throughout the 
next year – and we have also begun to plan  
a second House with No Bills experiment  
that takes even more facets of affordability  
into account.

Rolling out The Right Start

In FY17, we trialled The Right Start at the 
Pavilions, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW. This 
involved offering 65 homes exclusively to 
first home buyers and allowing them to 
exchange with a 5 per cent deposit. Following 
the success of the trial, we extended The 
Right Start throughout FY18 at The Finery, St 
Leonards Square and Marrick & Co in Sydney; 
Yarra’s Edge and Tullamore in Melbourne; and 
Compass at Leighton Beach in Perth. While the 
government’s First Home Buyers Grant offers 
rebates on properties under $600,000, we 
recognised that many first time buyers need 
more room, especially if they have a family. 
With this in mind, we gave first home buyers 
the equivalent of this grant ($10,000) if they 
were purchasing a property over the threshold 
– meaning they effectively did not miss out on 
the added support.

Working with Western Australia’s Department  
of Community

We’re actively aware of the need to provide 
more affordable housing for key workers, and 
through a partnership with the Department 
of Communities, we’ve worked with builders 
to develop house and land packages at our 
masterplanned communities, Osprey Waters 
and Baldivis, that specifically address the 
needs of key workers within the community. 
These are then sold directly to the Department 
of Communities, who make them more 
accessible to key workers with Keystart  
lending (low deposit loans and shared  
equity schemes). 

We’ve also focused on developing a diverse 
range of property types, such as compact, 
high-amenity terraces in Western Australia – 
which are more affordable than our standard 
free-standing homes and cater to the needs of 
first home buyers who are price-conscious, but 
still need more than a one-bedroom apartment.

We put our people first, and we recognise our 
business wouldn’t be where it is today without

live by, their diverse capabilities enable us to 
deliver quality outcomes for our customers and 
achieve our business results. While we thought 
it may be hard to improve on last year’s 88 
per cent employee engagement survey score, 
FY18 saw us achieve an impressive 90 per 
cent, providing clear-cut feedback from our 
people about what it is like to work at Mirvac 
and demonstrating that high engagement 
underpins our success.

Mirvac’s approach to people leadership has 
always encompassed a strong emphasis on 
safety where we’ve achieved consistently 
strong results. In FY18, we broadened our 
health and safety scope once again – this 
time, placing greater focus on the health and 
wellbeing of our people. Launched in August 
2017, our new HSE strategy, Thrive, has already 
had an impact on our teams, and thanks to a 
health and wellbeing council, we’ve seen great 
engagement in our initiatives. This included 
the Virgin Pulse Global Challenge, a worldwide 
initiative that encourages active lifestyles. It is 
our hope that by building a healthier, happier 
and more resilient workforce, we can realise 
the true potential of our people, and contribute 
to a healthier society.

We also continued with our focus on diversity 
and inclusion, recognising that to perform 
at our peak we need to embrace and 
support different voices and perspectives, 
including from different genders, cultures 
and backgrounds. Our efforts were once 
again recognised during the financial year, 
with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency 
naming us an Employer of Choice for the 
fourth consecutive year, and Direct Advice 
for Dads and Core Data identifying Mirvac 
as one of Australia’s leading employers for 
fathers. Our employees tell us that our ongoing 
commitment to flexibility through initiatives 
like My Simple Thing has played a big part in 
helping us achieve these results.

Uncapped volunteering leave
As well as our commitment to triple our 
community investment by 2022, and invest 
$100 million in the social sector by 2030, we 
have lifted the cap on paid volunteering leave 
we offer to our employees. From later this year, 
our employees will have unlimited volunteering 
leave with their manager’s approval. Mirvac 
employees already volunteer at twice the 
rate of our industry peers in Australia and 
New Zealand, and we are looking forward to 
seeing what more they can contribute to social 
cohesion through this substantial commitment. 

The Hatch team has already begun to use their 
volunteering leave in creative ways, having 
run a free innovation and ideation session for 
Think Pink, a Victorian not-for-profit dedicated 
to supporting women who are fighting breast 
cancer. Mirvac has a long-standing relationship 
with Think Pink, tracing back to 2010 when we 
provided our support in the creation of The 
Living Centre. The Living Centre is a state-of-
the-art wellness facility dedicated to providing 
emotional, practical and physical support  
to those diagnosed with breast cancer, free of 
charge. When Mirvac’s employees volunteered 
at The Living Centre as part of last year’s 
National Community Day, they learned that 
Think Pink were finding fundraising a real 
challenge. Held in May, our Hatch session 
generated over 100 ideas for Think Pink,  
which we narrowed down and are now helping 
to action. It was great to apply the Hatch 
process to help a community partner in this 
way, giving them access to ideas they may not 
have otherwise encountered.

“Culture can be a lead indicator 
of the sustainable performance 
of the business. It’s important 
to understand the DNA of your 
culture, and then build on that.” 

Chris Akayan, Head of Culture  
& Reputation

Refreshing our values
Culture plays a key role in our success, and 
this year we undertook some work to examine  
what qualities underpin our culture. We spoke 
to 150 people across the business, to define 
what qualities are critical to us delivering on 
our purpose and strategy. The results were 
surprisingly consistent, resulting in six truths 
that we have since relaunched as our  
refreshed values. 

We’re confident that they are authentic for 
leaders, managers and employees: 
–  We put people first
–  We’re passionate about quality and legacy
–  We collaborate
–  We’re curious and bold
–  How we work matters
–  We’re genuine and do the right thing.

Our values also shape how we strive to create 
great experiences and great outcomes for our 
customers, communities and stakeholders. 
The high performance expected of our 
employees is equally balanced between 
what they deliver and how they apply the 
values in delivering outcomes. We have also 
developed a risk culture index and measured 
our effectiveness in identifying and managing 
risk through our employee engagement 
survey, which provides valuable insights for 
our Board and executive teams to ensure that 
our appetite for risk is held in balance through 
strong governance.

Virgin Pulse
The first program run under our new HSE 
strategy, Thrive, was Virgin Pulse, a global 
initiative that challenges participants to 
complete 10,000 steps a day for 100 days.  
The overall goal is to improve activity levels, 
health and wellbeing. Almost half of Mirvac’s 
workforce took part, including those based 
in our offices, retail centres and those on 
construction sites. 

We had a fantastic end result, coming first 
globally in the property and real estate 
category, and second across all industries 
in the Asia Pacific region. We also saw a 
noticeable improvement in our employees’ 
activity over the course of the challenge. By 
the end of Virgin Pulse, 65 per cent of our 
people were completing 10,000 steps a day, 
up from 20 per cent at the start; 60 per cent 
reported an improvement in concentration 
and productivity; and 25 per cent reported an 
improvement in their own happiness.

Designing out our risk (DOOR)

Another key achievement in FY18 was the 
enhancement of our DOOR process. DOOR 
establishes a framework for identifying 
hazards and risks that can be resolved 
through design solutions, as well as identifying 
design opportunities. It is underpinned by 
a recognition that good design work gives 
the highest level of protection, so far as is 
reasonably practicable, and applies to internal 
or external design work.

Non-compliant building materials

We are committed to ensuring our building 
materials and operations are safe for our 
people, our customers and the public, and we 
proactively assess the materials used in all our 
residential, retail, office and industrial buildings  
through a dedicated building materials working 
group. We have also developed a materials 
database, which is included in project delivery 
plans to help us identify and eradicate any 
problem materials prior to construction.

Safety 
Mirvac’s thorough and proactive approach 
to safety resulted in another year of 
positive results in FY18. We have seen 
steady improvement of both the lost time 
injury frequency rate (LTIFR) and the total 
recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) over 
the past five years. Our LTIFR this financial 
year of 1.3 is our lowest on record. This year we 
also began to focus more on critical risks and 
near misses, identifying and addressing events 
that are low in frequency but can be very high 
in impact. To help us learn how to do this 
effectively, we have implemented a new ‘event 
learning culture’, which involves delivering 
targeted training and incident review boards to 
ensure we embed learnings across the Group. 
We have also introduced a Critical Injury 
Frequency Rate (CIFR) to strengthen our focus 
on our most critical risks and near misses. 

We have also completed an audit of our group 
safety systems, and have begun rolling out our 
new Mirvac Minimum Requirements (MMR). 

The MMR identify what is essential in how works 
and services are performed at any workplace 
under the management and control of a 
Mirvac entity, including the obligations of our 
contractors. The goal is to consistently manage 
critical risk across all parts of the business.

Diversity & Inclusion 
Progressing our RAP 

Since it officially launched in July 2017, our 
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) has given 
us a platform from which to build stronger 
relationships with Indigenous Australians, 
and create greater respect and opportunities. 
The plan is led by a diverse internal RAP 
working group, all of whom share a desire to 
support reconciliation. To promote greater 
respect, the RAP group has received targeted 
training around cultural awareness, which we 
intend to roll out across the business. And to 
drive opportunities, we have continued our 
partnership with Career Trackers to provide 
three internships for interns with Indigenous 
backgrounds. Our relationship with Supply 
Nation is also growing stronger, and they have 
provided us with a list of certified indigenous 
businesses who we plan to involve in future 
tenders. In FY18, we procured over $2.3 
million in goods and services from Indigenous 
businesses, up from $404,540 in FY17, and 
we are looking forward to seeing that number 
grow as part of our target to invest $100 
million in the social sector by 2030.

Redefining parental leave

Raising children is a task often shared by two 
parents, so in December 2017 we updated our 
parental leave policy in recognition of this. 
Now, carers receive 20 weeks of paid shared 
care leave (compared to an industry standard 
of 14-16 weeks), and partners receive four 
weeks (double the industry standard). This can 
be taken flexibly, and we also pay super on the 
unpaid component of parental leave. 

White Ribbon accreditation

In early 2018, Mirvac became the first 
Australian property developer to become 
accredited as a White Ribbon workplace.  
The accreditation builds on our existing 
diversity and inclusion initiatives, and helps  
us to strengthen our culture of respect  
and gender equality at all levels. 

The process to become accredited was 
thorough, and has led to us incorporating 
 new benefits and services for our people.  
This includes providing 10 days paid leave 
when someone experiences family or domestic 
violence, as well as financial support. We 
also provide a specialist service through our 
existing Employee Assistance Program, flexible 
return to work options, and have delivered 
comprehensive training to all managers and 
our Board on how to refer victims of domestic 
violence to appropriate support. For further 
information, visit whiteribbon.org.au.

“It really comes down to 
business being a force for 
good – recognising that yes,  
we are for profit, but we are 
also for purpose. You don’t 
have to do one or the other; 
you can do both and you 
should do both.” 

Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, 
CEO & Managing Director 

Trusted stakeholder  
partnerships  
Mirvac collaborates with a broad range of 
people and organisations in order to deliver 
our best work, and we engage with each group 
in a way which suits their needs. With trust  
in institutions at a low point, and expectations 
of businesses growing in response, effective 
stakeholder engagement becomes even  
more critical. 

It is more important than ever to be 
transparent, to work together on shared goals, 
to engage regularly and proactively, and to use 
our partnerships to unlock tricky challenges 
for both parties. We want to better understand  
what it is like to work with Mirvac as a partner,  

so that we can keep doing what’s right, and  
make improvements where they will make  
a meaningful difference.

To gain real insight into the kind of partner we 
are for our stakeholders, and what they expect 
from us, we carried out an in-depth reputation 
research project in FY18.

The results show that strong leadership from 
Mirvac is driving a high-performing score on 
reputation and trust, which importantly is 
balanced equally between our character and  
our capability. This is particularly pleasing 
 given this is the standard to which we hold  
our employees in high performance. 

Our key stakeholders have given clear advice 
where we should direct our energies in order 
to maintain quality relationships with them. 
As a result, our focus will be to take an even 
more customer-centric approach to our top 
customers, coordinated by our executive 
team, and supported by experts across our 
business. In addition, we will be responding 
to our stakeholders’ interest in our purpose, 
sustainability strategy, our culture and our 
innovation program, by facilitating even more 
ways in which our expertise may help to solve 
challenges we have in common.

Risk Management 
Risk governance

The Board has adopted a consolidated Risk 
Management Policy and Framework which 
incorporates governance, compliance, risk 
appetite and business continuity management. 
This approach is consistent with the 
Australian and New Zealand standard on risk 
management (ISO 31000:2009).

The Board determines the overall risk appetite 
for the Group and has approved strategies, 
policies and practices to ensure that key 
risks are identified and managed within the 
approved risk appetite. 

The Board has charged management with 
the responsibility for managing risk across 
the Group and implementing risk mitigation 
strategies under the direction of the CEO & 
Managing Director and supported by the ELT. 

A Group Risk function, led by the Head of 
Risk, provides a centralised role in facilitating 
the risk management framework, advising 
business units on risk management plans 
and consolidating risk reporting to senior 
executives, the ARCC and ultimately the Board.

Group Risk refreshed its strategy during the 
financial year to focus on three key areas: 
building closer partnerships with the business, 
creating and fostering a risk aware culture, and 
being more proactive in managing risk. 

While we have a dedicated risk team, each area 
of the business is ultimately accountable for 
its specific risks, and we want to empower our 
people to identify and mitigate these effectively. 

For a more detailed account of Mirvac’s Risk 
Management Policy and Framework, please 
refer to the Group’s Corporate Governance 
Statement which can be found at:  
www.mirvac.com/about/corporate-governance. 

Our principal strategic risks and opportunities

A number of the risks and opportunities Mirvac 
faces in delivering its strategic plan are set 
out in the below table. They are largely related 
to our portfolio of assets and are typical of a 
property group. These are not the only risks 
associated with Mirvac. The risks are grouped 
by theme rather than order of importance.

Risk & opportunity

How we’re addressing it

Investment performance
Mirvac’s business is impacted by  
the value of our property portfolio. This 
can be influenced by many external 
aspects outside our direct control, 
including the health of the economy 
and the strength of the property 
market. 

Macro environment
Mirvac is impacted by changing 
domestic and international macro 
prudential and regulatory measures, 
which impact access to capital, investor 
activity, and foreign investment. 

Reputation
In an Australian context of low 
institutional trust, Mirvac must maintain 
and enhance trust and reputation to 
retain a social licence to operate.  

Mirvac partners with aligned investors to leverage capability and develop recurring income streams. Prudent 
capital decisions are made on the basis of due diligence and market research to ensure investor confidence 
is retained. We take steps to anticipate shifts in market conditions and to make strategic decisions in 
securing development pipeline opportunities. Buying and selling at the right time in the property cycle 
has enabled us to deliver sustainable returns to our securityholders for the past five years, and when we 
approach new acquisitions, we are mindful of the fundamentals needed to maintain growth through our 
sustainable urban-focused business model. 

Mirvac uses external impact trend analysis for macroeconomic changes, and is attentive to these shifts.
We are currently monitoring the following:
Office: Mirvac has one of the youngest office portfolios in Australia with a substantial overweight to Sydney 
and Melbourne, Australia’s deepest and most attractive office markets. This ensures it is well-placed to 
capture demand from high-quality tenants. Having a young and modern office portfolio also ensures that 
Mirvac’s capital expenditure on its assets is expected to remain relatively lower than our AREIT peers. In 
terms of office developments, the Group manages uncertainty around tenant demand in a number of ways, 
such as substantially pre-letting development projects ahead of construction and by partially selling down 
office developments to capital partners in advance of completion.
Industrial: Continued strength in investor demand for prime grade industrial assets in key locations is 
resulting in compressed capitalisation rates, weighting predominantly towards the stronger markets of 
Sydney and Melbourne. Mirvac continues to focus on properties based on proximity to infrastructure, long 
lease terms and secure cash flow profiles while also considering the rapid growth of e-commerce and 
renewed focus from tenants to speed up supply chain fulfilment.  
Retail: Mirvac continues to maximise the retail portfolio by leveraging its strategic partnerships, experiential 
expertise and integrated capability. Mirvac is focused on continually refreshing its retail assets (via 
refurbishment, redevelopment or tenant remixing) to adapt to changing market dynamics. This active 
management has seen an increased weighting to more resilient and experiential categories such as food and 
beverage, entertainment and non-retail. Furthermore, Mirvac maintains a focus on key urban and metropolitan 
markets and continues to meet the challenges and opportunities of the changing retail landscape.
Residential:  While housing market activity has returned to more normalised conditions, location, quality and 
an understanding of our customers’ needs remains key for attracting demand. With stricter lending criteria, 
both domestically and offshore, concerns have been raised over the ability of residential property purchasers 
to settle. Mirvac has a range of strategies in place and carefully and proactively monitors its settlement risk 
profile, with a proven track record of low defaults. 

Mirvac provides consistent, high-quality communication and transparent and responsible reporting. We have 
committed to proactively sharing our progress as a business to help us earn and retain trust. We are elevating our 
controls to identify and mitigate our exposure to reputational risks and ensure full compliance to emerging legislation. 
We have a AAA rating with MSCI and were ranked number one in real estate by the Dow Jones 
Sustainability Index in 2017. We provide good earnings visibility and full disclosure to our securityholders so 
that they can make informed choices.
Our brand strength is leveraged to consistently attract substantial residential pre-sales, delivering one of the 
highest levels of repeat buyers in the property industry.

Risk & opportunity

How we’re addressing it

Supply chain
With a broad range of suppliers providing 
an equally diverse range of goods and 
services, Mirvac’s stakeholders can 
be directly and indirectly impacted by 
the practices of our suppliers, and the 
materials they’re supplying.

Planning and regulation
Mirvac’s activities can be affected by 
government policies in many ways, 
from local decisions regarding zoning 
and developments, right through to 
national positions on immigration.

Impacts of climate change
Climate change can not only affect 
our assets, it can affect our business 
operations. It is vital that Mirvac 
responds to the implications of climate 
change by implementing appropriate 
adaptation and mitigation strategies 
for the portfolio, and building resilience 
throughout the business.

Capital management 

Maintaining a diversified capital 
structure to support delivery of stable 
investor relations and maintain access 
to equity and debt funding. 

Health & safety 
Maintaining the health, safety and 
wellbeing of our people is our most 
important duty of care obligation, and 
critical to Mirvac’s ongoing success.

People
We are mindful that we require a 
motivated, high performing, and 
capable workforce to deliver business 
strategy and a desired culture.  

Technological change
Technology is changing our world 
at a rapid pace, and without high 
responsiveness, companies are less 
able to innovate and take advantage  
of new technologies. 

Data, systems & business disruption 
(including cyber security)
It’s crucial that we have the ability 
to manage a major incident causing 
physical or information disruption timely 
and efficiently. This includes cyber 
security threats and/or breaches to our 
information systems and/or damage 
to physical assets that could cause 
significant damage to our business  
and reputation.

Historically, Mirvac has looked at supply chain risk on a project-by-project basis. Working groups have since 
been developed group-wide to address key areas such as modern slavery, worker exploitation, material 
import risk, high risk materials, and cyber security. We are elevating our controls to identify and mitigate  
our exposure to these risks and ensure full compliance to emerging legislation. 

Mirvac has established a stakeholder relations team, which coordinates proactive and constructive 
engagements with all levels of government to ready our business to respond to changing community 
expectations.

Mirvac regularly assesses its portfolio for climate risk and resilience. We support the Taskforce on Climate-
related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations and are currently considering how we disclose climate 
risk and opportunity moving forward. Climate risk is also a consideration in due diligence during acquisition and 
the development process. Mirvac strives to design developments and major renovations to a high standard for 
green building and community certifications, as well as energy and water performance ratings.
Greater focus has been given to climate change in the refreshed sustainability strategy (launched June 
2018). In early FY19, Mirvac will release its net positive carbon roadmap to help investors and other 
stakeholders understand how we will reach our goal to be net positive in carbon and water by 2030, and 
provide the metrics and milestones to track our progress. Renewable energy will be an important part of 
achieving net positive with the added benefit of price stability for our portfolio. 

Mirvac has a capital management framework, approved and monitored by the Board. The framework aims to 
address the market, credit and liquidity risks while also meeting the Group’s strategic objectives. 
The Group seeks to maintain a minimum investment grade credit rating of BBB+ to reduce the cost of capital 
and diversify its sources of debt capital. The Group’s target gearing ratio is between 20 and 30 per cent.

We continue to pursue safety excellence and to improve the overall wellbeing of our employees, suppliers, 
community and the environment. 
During FY18 Mirvac launched the HSE ‘Thrive’ strategy, which encompasses health, safety and wellbeing. 
As part of the strategy, Mirvac established a health and wellbeing council to drive health and wellbeing 
initiatives and created Mirvac Minimum Requirements (MMR) to ensure we consistently manage critical 
HSE risks across all parts of the business.
Mirvac Construction maintained certification for HSE (AS/NZS 4801:2001 OHS Management Systems, OHSAS 
18001:2007 OHS management systems and AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 – Environmental Management Systems.)

Mirvac’s people strategy includes a range of initiatives designed to ensure we have the right culture and 
capabilities so that our people are engaged and enabled to deliver on our strategy. The Group has a range 
of programs aimed at creating great leaders, growing and retaining key talent, and fostering a diverse and 
inclusive workplace. Mirvac has clearly defined values that align to our purpose to Reimagine Urban Life  
and the Group measures its leaders on whether they demonstrate supporting behaviours that underpin 
these values.       
Mirvac’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract the best, and retain and motivate talented individuals, 
while aligning to the interests of executives, securityholders and community expectations. 
Read more on Mirvac’s people initiatives on page 30.

A core element of Mirvac’s strategy is understanding and preparing for disruption and building a resilient 
business. Some examples include:
–   continued exploration of new construction technology to drive better outcomes, including pre-fabricated 

components;

–   embracing technologies to further integrate sustainability across all business units, such as solar and 

battery systems, and smart building management systems;

–   an innovation program to ensure we continue to innovate in a meaningful way. Our innovation team, 

Hatch, perform business scans to understand and respond to disruptive technology; and

–   additional investment in resources for customer solutions and business systems.

Mirvac has a business continuity management policy which identifies and addresses the key response 
actions, systems and tools required to effectively manage and continue business critical processes during  
a business impacting event. The Crisis and Incident Management Plan establishes clear accountabilities and 
first response protocols based on a three-tiered incident severity rating system. The Disaster Recovery Plan 
specifies an action plan for IT staff involved in the recovery of critical IT Business Systems following  
a disaster.
Mirvac is committed to protecting the organisation’s information through maintaining the confidentiality, 
integrity and availability of Mirvac information and information systems in a secure environment.  
Mirvac has established a high standard for the management of all IT security incidents and to prevent or 
mitigate the side effects of data related security breach.

SUSTAINABILITY

Since it was launched in 2014, it is safe  
to say that our sustainability strategy,  
This Changes Everything, has become 
firmly embedded into how we do things 
at Mirvac – and in a relatively short time, 
we’ve achieved a huge amount.

PEOPLE &
LEADERSHIP

TECHNOLOGY

Having made a bold net positive commitment, 
we’ve reduced carbon and water intensity  
by 21 per cent and 22 per cent respectively.  
We developed our own energy company, and 
built an innovative House with No Bills pilot 
project, bringing our customers  
closer to sustainable, affordable living.  
Our construction waste recycling rose to  
95 per cent, we began to measure our 
social return on investment, and launched  
our first Reconciliation Action Plan. 

We also continued to leave a legacy that 
reflects our values: delivering three 6 Star 
Green Star Performance buildings, two 6 Star 
NABERS Energy buildings, and Australia’s first 
Gold WELL rated interior for our headquarters 
at EY Centre, 200 George Street, Sydney. 
In FY18, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index 
named us the world’s most sustainable real 
estate company.

Phase two of This Changes Everything

After four years of progress, we took time out 
to reflect on the big question: where to next? 

Our operating context has changed 
considerably in recent years, and we wanted 
to ensure our strategy was still connecting 
to the broader factors shaping our world. 
After undertaking significant stakeholder 
consultation, both across the business and 
externally, we identified a number of factors 
that are significant in our world today, such  
as climate change, diminishing trust, and  
social isolation and loneliness. We also 
examined the areas we think we can make  
the biggest difference. 

Our intention: to focus on what matters most 
to Mirvac and our stakeholders so we can drive 
even deeper sustainability outcomes. The 
result of this work is that we have a refreshed 
strategy that focuses more firmly on three 
key areas: reimagining resources, enriched 
communities, and transparent governance. 

What’s changed, and what’s stayed the same?

The refreshed strategy is an evolution,  
it’s not a revolution, and given the success of 
This Changes Everything we are committed to 
retaining its sense of bravery and innovation. 
When we started out, however, we still weren’t 
certain how we’d achieve our audacious goals, 
or where we could have the most impact.  
With four years of accumulated learnings,  
we now have a much better idea on both these 
things. For this reason, we have shifted from a 
broader approach (19 areas of action) to one 
that’s more carefully concentrated (six areas 
of action).

Of course, some of the key components of 
our strategy are still the same, such as our 
commitment to reaching net positive by 
2030; however, we have now made a stronger 
connection to the ‘why’ that underpins 
these efforts. We have also given social and 
governance a more even weighting, which  
we believe is important in our current climate. 
It’s vital that as we grow, we don’t grow apart 
from each other, and for this reason, we 
are committing to tripling our community 
investment by 2022, and invest $100 million  
in the social sector by 2030.

A simplified scorecard designed to be shared

One of our key learnings has been how to 
measure our sustainability progress, and 
as part of our updated strategy, we are 
committing to sharing this progress more 
proactively through our new, simplified 
sustainability scorecard. Not only will this 
make it easier for stakeholders to see how 
we’re tracking, it can provide guidance and 
inspiration for other organisations who want  
to instigate similar kinds of change.

Creating more than we take. Building better 
communities. Openly sharing our progress.  
By doing these things, we’re continuing on our 
path to greater sustainability, adding inclusive 
value to our stakeholders and improving our 
business performance along the way.

Because we’re here to challenge the status 
quo. To acknowledge the work that’s yet to be 
done. To innovate until we find a better way. 
To leave a legacy we can be proud of. And to 
reimagine urban life, sustainably.

Risks

As a property group involved in property investment, residential and 
commercial development and investment management, Mirvac faces a 
number of risks throughout the business cycle that have the potential to 
affect the achievement of its targeted financial outcomes.

Mirvac’s risk management framework is integrated with its day-to-day 
business processes and is supported by a dedicated Group Risk function.

For the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group continued to ensure internal 
and external risks were identified and appropriate strategies were 
implemented to manage the impact of those risks. Further information 
on the material risks identified for each of the sectors is outlined on 
page 36-37.

FY18 Office & Industrial highlights

Mirvac’s Office & Industrial portfolio has a focus on key urban markets, 
providing secure, recurring income to the Group.

For the year ended 30 June 2018, Mirvac’s Office & Industrial division 
delivered earnings before interest and tax of $381m.

10-year term; and

Ellison for approximately 3,500 square metres for a five-year term;

 – total office asset revaluations provided an uplift of $381.0m 

(or 7.1 per cent) over the previous book value for the 12 months to 
30 June 2018, supported by an overweight to prime assets in Sydney 
and Melbourne. On a like-for-like basis (excluding IPUC, acquisitions 
and disposals), the net uplift was $384.5m (or 7.7 per cent);

 – maintained positive leasing spreads at 8.6 per cent;
 – incentives remained low at 22 per cent (June 2017: 18.9 per cent); and

Suncorp pre-committing to over 39,600 square metres of office and retail 
space, representing approximately 66 per cent of the building’s total net 
lettable area, for a 10-year term. Mirvac concurrently announced it had 
sold a 50 per cent interest in the development to M&G Real Estate for a 
total consideration of $418m.

Review of operations and activities
A review of the operations of the Group during the financial year and 
the results of those operations are detailed below.

FY18 Financial & Capital management highlights

Mirvac delivered a solid financial result for the year ended 30 June 2018, 
with its sustainable business model and prudent approach to capital 
management ensuring a strong capital position and flexible balance sheet.

Key financial highlights for the year ended 30 June 2018:
 – profit attributable to the stapled securityholders of $1,089m; 

(June 2017: $1,164m), driven by a strong performance in the Group's 
Office & Industrial business;

 – operating profit after tax increased by 9 per cent to $580m; (June 2017: 

$534m), representing 15.6 cents per stapled security (cpss);

 – operating cash flow of $663m (June 2017: $513m);
 – full-year distributions of $408m, representing 11.0 cpss; and
 – net tangible assets per stapled security of $2.31 (June 2017: $2.13).

Key capital management highlights for the year ended 30 June 2018:
 – gearing remained at the lower end of the Group’s target range 

of 20.0 to 30.0 per cent, at 21.3 per cent;

 – maintained substantial available liquidity, with $906m in cash and 

committed undrawn bank facilities held;

 – weighted average debt maturity increased to 6.8 years from 6.2 years 

(June 2017), following the issuance of:
 – US$400m European medium term notes maturing in March 2027; 

and

 – HK$300m European medium term notes maturing in March 2028;
 – average borrowing costs remained stable at 4.8 per cent per annum, 

including margins and line fees, following the issuance of new debt and 
the repayment of maturing debt;

 – received a credit rating upgrade from Moody’s Investors Service from 

Baa1 to A3; and

 – received a revised credit rating outlook from Standard & Poor’s from 
stable to positive, with the Group’s BBB+ credit rating maintained.

Group outlook

Mirvac’s diversified urban portfolio and proven asset creation capability 
across each of its sectors ensures it is well-placed for the future. Secured 
cash flows are supported by a modern investment portfolio with strong 
metrics, a robust commercial development pipeline and $2.2bn of 
exchanged residential pre-sales.

The Group’s rigorous capital management is demonstrated by gearing 
within the Group’s target range, a diversified debt portfolio with a long 
weighted average debt maturity, and clear visibility of future cash flows. 
Mirvac’s focus on prudently managing its capital position will help to 
ensure the Group can continue to meet its strategic objectives without 
increasing its overall capital management risk profile.

Mirvac will continue to enhance its capabilities as a world-class Australian 
property group concentrating on a secure income stream from its 
investment portfolio, which underpins Group distributions, improving 
the return on invested capital achieved by its development activities, 
and positioning Mirvac for the future by investing in safety, technology, 
innovation, sustainability and its people.

Directors’ report48

Review of operations and activities continued

Office continued

In line with Mirvac’s mandate to create world-class office assets that 
generate development returns, the Group progressed its $3bn office 
development pipeline in FY18, which is 74 per cent pre-let. Progress on 
committed projects include:
 – 664 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC: practical completion was achieved in 
June 2018, with the building 100 per cent leased prior to completion;
 – 477 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC: construction is progressing well, 
with all demolition, excavation and foundation works completed, and 
concrete structural works complete to Level 10. The building is 58 per 
cent pre-leased, with major tenant, Deloitte, committing to 26,000 
square metres of office space for a 12-year term, and global law firm, 
Norton Rose, committing to 5,000 square metres for a 10-year term. 
A further 1,100 square metres is currently under heads of agreement, 
which will take the building to 58 per cent pre-leased once executed. 
The Group remains on track to reach practical completion in FY20;
 – Australian Technology Park, Sydney NSW: achieved the topping-out 
of Building 1 in February 2018, with facade works now complete and 
roof-feature works underway. Structural works on Building 2 and 
Building 3 are ongoing. Work on the public domain is progressing well 
with the first stage of Eveleigh Green complete and open to the public. 
The project’s major tenant, Commonwealth Bank, has pre-committed 
to 100 per cent of office space for a 15-year lease term. Practical 
completion for Buildings 1 and 3 is targeted for FY19, and FY20 for 
Building 2; and

 – 80 Ann Street, Brisbane QLD: received planning approval for the 

development of a 60,000 square metre tower over 31 levels. The Group 
is undertaking neighbour access rights to allow demolition works to 
commence on site. Practical completion is targeted for FY22.

Outlook1

Solid net absorption in a tight leasing market has resulted in reduced 
vacancy in Sydney and Melbourne, with double digit effective rental 
growth recorded over the past year. The Brisbane leasing market 
continues to show tangible signs of improvement with both public sector 
hiring and expenditure supporting the Brisbane economy. Perth is seeing 
signs of stabilisation, with better commodity prices and some commitment 
for resource expansion resulting in take-up of surplus office vacancy. 
Positive financial market movement, growth in the services sector and 
the desire from tenants to upgrade to modern, flexible and efficient space 
continues to result in take-up of prime grade space. Mirvac will continue 
to focus its high-quality portfolio on the key urban markets of Sydney 
and Melbourne, as well as creating innovative, collaborative and flexible 
workplaces that generate value for the Group.

Industrial

Key highlights across the industrial portfolio for the year ended 30 June 
2018 included:
 – achieved 100 per cent occupancy2, with a WALE of 7.1 years3;
 – achieved like-for-like net operating income growth of 1.3 per cent;
 – completed over 52,300 square metres of leasing activity 4;

 – formed the Mirvac Industrial Logistics Partnership (MILP) with Morgan 
Stanley Real Estate Investing. The partnership was seeded by two 
industrial assets, 47 Westgate Drive, Altona North and 26 Harcourt 
Road, Altona, both in Victoria, that were sold by Mirvac to the 
partnership for a total consideration of $65.5m. Mirvac will retain 
a 10 per cent interest in the partnership;

 – acquired a 16,600 square metre industrial asset in Campbelltown, 
Sydney NSW on behalf of MILP for a total consideration of $29m;
 – completed the sale of 1900-2060 Pratt Boulevard, Chicago USA for a 
total consideration of $52.4m, slightly above previous book value, with 
settlement occurring in October 2017; and

 – Calibre, Eastern Creek NSW: practical completion on Building 3, 

a 21,000 square metre facility, was achieved in April 2018, with online 
pet supplies company, Pet Circle, signing a lease prior to completion for 
a five-year term. Practical completion was also achieved on Building 4 in 
June 2018, with Sheldon & Hammond committing to the 31,000 square 
metre facility for a 10-year term. Construction on Building 2, a 17,000 
square metre facility, commenced in early March 2018, with practical 
completion expected in the first half of FY19. The building is 100 per 
cent pre-leased to Miele for a seven-year term. Construction has 
commenced on Building 5, with practical completion targeted for the 
second half of FY19. Strong interest has been received for this facility.

Outlook 1

Strong demand from logistics firms continues to support above-average 
leasing demand in the Sydney industrial markets. A limited availability of 
vacant stock in Sydney is starting to see upward pressure on rents for 
existing buildings. Mirvac’s strategic overweight to the strong-performing 
Sydney market ensures that the industrial portfolio will continue to provide 
a secure stable income to the Group.

  FY18 Annual Report

49

Key highlights across the residential business for the year ended 
30 June 2018 included:
 – settled 3,400 residential lots, in line with the Group’s target of 

approximately 3,400 residential lot settlements in FY18. Defaults for the 
financial year remained at below 2 per cent;

 – secured future income with residential pre-sales of $2.2bn2. Mirvac’s 
existing pipeline supports over 12,000 lot settlements over the next 
four years;

 – delivered gross development margins of 25.4 per cent3, driven by the 

Group’s ability to buy and sell at the right time, and in the right markets;

 – released approximately 1,800 residential lots during the 12 months to 
30 June 2018 across both new and existing projects, with 76 per cent 
of all released lots pre-sold. Successful releases included:
 – Tullamore, VIC: 64 per cent of released lots pre-sold;
 – Olivine, VIC: 92 per cent of released lots pre-sold;
 – Woodlea, VIC: 97 per cent of released lots pre-sold;
 – Brighton Lakes, NSW: 100 per cent of released lots pre-sold;
 – Alex Avenue, NSW: 92 per cent of released lots pre-sold; and
 – Crest, Gledswood Hills NSW: 100 per cent of released lots pre-sold; 

and

 – supplemented the Group’s residential pipeline of over 27,000 lots with 

the acquisition of approximately 1,900 lots at Olivine, VIC.

Outlook 1

The outlook for capital city residential markets remains mixed, varying 
from state to state and at a sub-market level. Prices at an aggregate 
level have cooled, though mostly for premium, established dwellings. 
While lending criteria has tightened housing finance approvals for owner 
occupiers remain elevated. Quality residential projects in cities that 
offer good connection to employment opportunities and infrastructure, 
particularly Sydney and Melbourne to which Mirvac is overweight,  
are expected to continue to attract ongoing demand.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Details of the state of affairs of the Group are disclosed on pages 47 to 49. 
Other than those matters disclosed, there were no significant changes to 
the state of affairs during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the year
As previously announced on 16 July 2018, the Group exercised a put-and-
call option with Wee Hur to acquire 80 Ann Street, Brisbane QLD. The 
Group and M&G Real Estate will be tenants in common, with each party 
funding $39.5m for the acquisition based on their 50 per cent ownership 
share. Subject to FIRB approval, settlement is expected to occur in the first 
quarter of FY19.

No other events have occurred since the end of the year which have 
significantly affected or may significantly affect Mirvac’s operations, the 
results of those operations, or Mirvac’s state of affairs in future years..

Review of operations and activities continued

Retail continued
 – announced an agreement to acquire the remaining interest in the 
proposed South Village Shopping Centre, Kirrawee following an 
agreement to purchase a 50 per cent interest in October 2016. 
PAYCE will undertake development of the project, with Mirvac to pay 
an amount based on a 6.0 per cent capitalisation rate of the leased 
net income on completion. Mirvac will also provide development 
leasing services, including tenancy co-ordination and retail design 
management prior to practical completion, and will retain management 
rights and leasing services following practical completion; and

 – completed the sale of a 50 per cent interest in Kawana Shoppingworld, 

Buddina QLD to ISPT in December 2017 for a total consideration 
of $186m, with Mirvac to retain property management, leasing and 
development management services.

The Group’s retail development pipeline also progressed during the 
financial year, with updates including:
 – Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre, Sydney NSW: completed the $19m 
development of Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre in August 2017, 
introducing a new premium precinct which includes Bally, Coach, 
Harrolds, Michael Kors and Peters of Kensington. The development was 
100 per cent pre-leased on completion;

 – Toombul, Nundah QLD: received development approval for the 

proposed dining and entertainment development. The project will 
deliver an alfresco urban dining precinct with multiple entertainment 
and lifestyle offers, expanding the centre by approximately 1,600 square 
metres. Construction works are expected to commence in the first half 
of FY19, subject to remaining approvals;

 – Rhodes Waterside, Sydney NSW: commenced construction on the 3,700 
square metre development, introducing ALDI and relocating Bing Lee 
to strengthen the fresh food and homewares offer. The project is 100 
per cent pre-leased and is scheduled for completion in mid-FY19; and

 – Kawana Shoppingworld, Buddina QLD: construction on the 6,900 
square metre development commenced during the period, which 
will see the delivery of an Event cinema and an expanded dining 
precinct. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-FY19 and 
is 95 per cent pre-leased.

Outlook1

While the broader retail environment faces some challenges, shopping 
centres with strong catchment fundamentals continue to be well 
supported. Mirvac’s retail portfolio is located in the service-based economies 
of Sydney, South East Queensland and Melbourne, which continue to record 
stronger employment and population growth than regional areas. In addition, 
well-performing centres that offer great customer experiences continue 
to attract quality tenants, ensuring secure income to the Group. Mirvac’s 
focus on centres in urban catchments with strong fundamentals is expected 
to support continued solid performance in the retail sector.

FY18 Residential highlights

Mirvac’s Residential business is founded on a reputation for delivering 
superior apartment and masterplanned communities projects in Australia’s 
key cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

For the year ended 30 June 2018, Residential delivered earnings before 
interest and tax of $300m.

1  Message from the Human Resources Committee
The HRC wishes to thank you for your support at last year’s AGM and 
for sharing your views on our remuneration practices, and is pleased 
to present securityholders with the FY18 remuneration report. This 
report outlines Mirvac’s approach to remuneration for its executives and 
in particular the link between Mirvac’s strategy and its remuneration 
framework and the link between performance and reward.

Mirvac delivered excellent performance against key financial measures 
and key strategic objectives in FY18. This report outlines how Mirvac’s 
performance has driven the remuneration outcomes for senior executives.

The HRC has oversight of Mirvac’s People Strategy, Culture and key 
Human Resources practices, and Mirvac’s remuneration framework is an 
integral component of our People Strategy. Our people are at the heart 
of what we do, and we recognise that our investment in their growth 
and development, along with fostering a positive culture, leads to better 
business outcomes.

Some of the FY18 highlights are below:
 – We achieved an overall employee engagement score of 90 per cent in 
the Willis Towers Watson’s engagement survey, placing us above the 
Global High Performing Norm, the survey’s highest external benchmark.  
The results show our people are willing to work beyond what is required 
to assist Mirvac to succeed, strongly believe in our purpose and value 
our culture.

 – We launched our new Mirvac values - these are cultural statements 

our employees identified as critical to us delivering on our purpose to 
'Reimagine Urban Life' and business strategy.  Our values are:
 – We put people first
 – We are passionate about quality and legacy
 – We collaborate
 – We are curious and bold
 – How we work matters
 – We are genuine and do the right thing.

 – Mirvac is proud to be the first Australian property developer to become 
a ‘White Ribbon Workplace’. This is an accreditation that signifies that 
violence in any form at Mirvac will not be tolerated and that we are 
committed to preventing and responding to violence and creating a 
safer and more respectful workplace.

 – Mirvac has been awarded with the Employer of Choice for Gender 

Equality citation for the fourth year in a row. This prestigious citation 
acknowledges our ongoing commitment to gender equality.

 – Our continued strategic focus on gender balance is having a positive 
impact on gender pay parity.  The Group’s annual gender pay parity 
review showed the organisation-wide pay gap has continued to 
decrease. It has decreased by 11 per cent in the last five years.  Over the 
past three years, the by-level pay gap has reduced by three per cent, 
and the like-for-like gender pay gap is zero for the second year.

 – As well as having diversity targets for female representation at various 

levels in the business, we are focused on having female talent in 
our succession plan for leadership roles, and require 50 per cent of 
candidates on leadership shortlists to be female.  In FY18, we were 
delighted to exceed our target of women in senior leadership positions 
with 40 per cent of senior leadership roles held by women.

 – Mirvac has undertaken a significant amount of work to mainstream 

flexibility and to empower our people to achieve better work/life quality.  
This year’s engagement survey showed that 75 per cent of employees 
have some sort of flexible arrangement in place, evenly spread across 
both males and females.

 – In addition to providing a flexible workplace, we continue to support 
employees as they transition back in to the workplace.  We launched 
our new Shared Care Policy which provides benefits such as 20 weeks 
paid parental leave for primary carers up from 16 weeks, four weeks 
of paid parental leave for the secondary carer up from two weeks, and 
continuation of superannuation payments for the duration of the unpaid 
parental leave.  We are also offering more flexibility in how employees 
take their paid parental leave so it does not have to be taken in a single 
block of time, providing Mirvac families with more options when it 
comes to caring for their children.

More on our People Strategy and how this supports Mirvac’s performance 
can be found in the Our People section, page 30.

Throughout FY18, the HRC continued to oversee the performance and 
remuneration of the CEO/MD and other Executive Leadership Team 
members, along with the Group remuneration framework and incentive 
schemes, ensuring that the financial reward balances performance 
with prudent risk taking while also creating alignment between our 
securityholders and other stakeholders.

Mirvac’s remuneration framework reflects our commitment to deliver 
competitive remuneration for excellent performance in order to attract 
the best and motivate and retain talented individuals, while aligning the 
interests of executives and securityholders.

At the heart of our remuneration framework are:
 – incentives based on financial measures and strategic objectives that 

reflect key goals critical to sustained organisational success;

 – consideration of business and operational risk through the design of 

performance objectives, clawbacks and the exercise of Board discretion;

 – incentives that align the interests of executives to those of 

securityholders;

 – vesting periods for deferred incentives that reflect the time horizons 
over which Mirvac invests, while providing appropriate stretch and 
incentive for executives; and

 – best-practice governance and ensuring remuneration outcomes 
are reasonable taking into account community and stakeholder 
expectations.

During the year, a wholesale review of our Performance and Reward 
Framework was completed, resulting in some changes to our approach 
to executive pay.  Many of the changes are reflected in our approach to 
performance management including the performance ratings (which 
apply to all employees), but some changes have been made to executive 
remuneration (that apply from 1 July 2018) which include increasing 
our mandatory minimum securityholding for Executive KMP; more 
explicit consideration of risk and risk culture in determining Executives' 
performance and reward outcomes; and adjusting the weightings of the 
LTI performance measures which are reflected in the CEO/MD’s FY19 LTI 
award (further details are covered in the Key questions, section 3, of the 
remuneration report).

3  Key questions

Key questions

Mirvac approach

Remuneration in FY18
1.   How is Mirvac’s performance 

reflected in this year’s 
remuneration outcomes?

2. 

 What changes have been 
made to the remuneration 
structure in FY18?

Mirvac’s remuneration outcomes are strongly linked to the delivery of sustainable 
securityholder value over the short and long term.
Short term: Mirvac has delivered strong performance in terms of operating profit, ROIC and 
delivery of strategic objectives, which has resulted in above-target performance on our balanced 
scorecard and a corresponding higher than usual payout of short term incentives (STI).
Long term: The three-year performance period for the FY16 long term incentives (LTI) 
completed on 30 June 2018. The FY16 LTI was divided into two components, with half tested 
against relative TSR and the other half tested against ROIC, both over a three-year period. 
Mirvac's absolute TSR performance of 30.63 per cent was at the 59th percentile of the 
comparator group, resulting in vesting of 68 per cent of the TSR component. Mirvac’s ROIC 
performance of 12 per cent outperformed the stretch target of 10 per cent, resulting in 100 
per cent vesting for this component. As a result, total vesting for the FY16 LTI award is 84 per 
cent. The Board is committed to ensuring executives’ remuneration links to the achievement 
of sustainable value for securityholders and therefore will continue to use relative TSR and 
ROIC for the FY19 LTI award for the Executive KMP.
Susan MacDonald received a fixed pay increase from $700,000 to $800,000 per annum as at  
1 October 2017. This increase is a reflection on Susan’s experience and sustained performance 
in the Head of Retail role.
The LTI broadly remained unchanged in FY18; however, the threshold performance level for the 
ROIC performance hurdle increased from 9 per cent to 9.5 per cent, and stretch increased from 
10 per cent to 10.5 per cent.
There were no changes to STI methodology.

Key questions

Mirvac approach

3.   Are any changes planned 

for FY19?

STI: There are no significant changes to STI however; in line with previous years, the Board 
will review and adjust the threshold and stretch performance levels for the performance 
objectives applicable to the STI awards.
Effective from FY19, Mirvac's definition of operating profit will be updated to include the 
security-based payment expense.  This change has been implemented to align with market 
practice (ASX top 20 and A-REIT sector).
LTI: The Board is committed to ensuring executives’ remuneration links to the achievement of 
sustainable long-term value for securityholders.  After a wholesale review of our Performance 
and Reward Framework, the Board has concluded that relative TSR and ROIC continue to be 
the best LTI measures to achieve this, but the Board has decided to adjust the weighting of 
our LTI performance measures from 50:50 to 40 per cent for relative TSR and 60 per cent 
for ROIC. This re-weighting maintains focus on relative TSR, an important measure in aligning 
remuneration outcomes for Executives with securityholder outcomes, but increases focus on 
ROIC, which is the key long-term financial measure that underpins long-term decision making, 
long-term value creation, and best aligns the LTI hurdles with Mirvac’s business and value-
creation strategy.
The comparator group for relative TSR will also no longer include Aveo and Lendlease and 
will only consist of the A-REIT constituents, so as to better align the peer group to the market 
in which we compete for capital.
Risk: We have incorporated more explicit consideration of risk and risk culture in determining 
Executives' performance and reward outcomes, and for determining the Group STI pool.
Minimum securityholding requirement: The minimum securityholding requirement has 
increased from:
 – 100 per cent to 150 per cent of fixed remuneration for the CEO/MD;
 – 50 per cent to 100 per cent of fixed remuneration for other Executives; and
 – 25,000 securities to 50,000 securities for Non-Executive Directors.
Executives will have five years from the commencement of their role on the Executive 
Leadership Team, or for current Executives five years from 1 July 2018, to establish their 
Mirvac security ownership to the minimum. Non-Executive Directors have three years from 
their date of appointment to the Board, or for current Non-Executive Directors three years 
from 12 December 2017, to acquire securities up to the minimum.

Remuneration framework
4.   Where does Mirvac’s 

remuneration sit relative 
to the market?

5.   What proportion of remuneration 

is “at risk”?

6.   Are there any clawback 
provisions for incentives?
7.   What is Mirvac’s minimum 

securityholding requirement?

Fixed and variable pay are both aimed at the market median, with remuneration opportunities 
for outstanding performance extending up to the 75th percentile of the market.

The majority of Executive KMP’s remuneration is based on performance, and is therefore 
at risk. The remuneration package for the CEO/MD is 70 per cent performance related pay, 
and for other Executives the remuneration package is, on average, 58 per cent performance 
related pay.
Yes, if there is a material financial misstatement, any unvested LTI or deferred STI awards can 
be clawed back.
The minimum securityholding requirement has increased from:
 – 100 per cent to 150 per cent of fixed remuneration for the CEO/MD;
 – 50 per cent to 100 per cent of fixed remuneration for other Executives; and
 – 25,000 securities to 50,000 securities for Non-Executive Directors.
Executives will have five years from the commencement of their role on the Executive 
Leadership Team, or for current Executives five years from 1 July 2018, to establish their 
Mirvac security ownership to the minimum.
Non-Executive Directors have three years from their date of appointment to the Board, or for 
current Non-Executive Directors three years from 12 December 2017, to acquire securities up 
to the minimum.

Key questions

Mirvac approach

Short term incentives (STI)
8.   Are any STI payments deferred? Yes, 25 per cent of STI for Executive KMP are awarded as rights over Mirvac securities, half of 
which vest in one year and half in two years. If the Executive resigns before the vesting period 
ends, the rights do not vest and are forfeited.

9.   Are STI payments capped?

Yes, an Executive’s STI is capped at double their STI target, achievable only in circumstances 
of both exceptional individual and Group performance.

Long term incentives (LTI)
10.  What are the performance 
measures for the LTI?

11.  Does the LTI have re-testing?

12.  Are dividends/distributions paid 

on unvested LTI awards?

13.  Is the size of LTI grants 
increased in light of  
performance conditions?

14.  Can LTI participants hedge 

their unvested LTI?

15.  Does Mirvac buy securities 
or issue new securities for 
security-based awards?

16.  Does Mirvac issue 
share options?

Executive service agreements
17.  What is the maximum an 
executive can receive on 
termination?

For existing awards, performance is measured over a three-year period with 50 per cent 
of the award subject to relative TSR and 50 per cent of the award subject to ROIC, with the 
Board having over-arching discretion to ensure vesting outcomes are appropriately aligned 
to performance.
The FY19 LTI award will be 40 per cent subject to relative TSR and 60 per cent subject to 
ROIC measured over a three-year performance period.
No, there is no re-testing.

No, dividends/distributions are not paid on unvested LTI awards. This ensures that Executives 
are only rewarded when performance hurdles have been achieved at the end of the 
performance period.
No, there is no adjustment to reflect the performance conditions. The grant price for 
allocation purposes is not reduced based on performance conditions. Mirvac uses a ‘face 
value methodology’ for allocating performance rights to each Executive KMP, being the 
average security price for the month leading up to grant, discounted for the assumed value of 
dividends and distributions not paid during the three-year performance period.
No, this is prohibited.

For deferred STI awards, securities are purchased on-market. For LTI awards, the Board has 
discretion to issue new securities or buy securities on-market.

No, Mirvac uses performance rights for the deferred STI and LTI awards.

Executive KMP termination entitlements are limited to 12 months’ fixed remuneration.

4  Our remuneration strategy and the link to business strategy
At Mirvac, our remuneration is linked to the drivers of our business strategy, helping to create sustainable value for securityholders.

Mirvac’s remuneration strategy is designed to support and reinforce its business strategy. The at-risk components of remuneration are tied to measures 
that reflect the successful execution of our business strategy in both the short and long term.

Our strategic drivers are reflected in STI performance measures and LTI performance measures. So, Mirvac’s actual performance directly affects what 
executives are paid.

5  Executive KMP remuneration at Mirvac
Mirvac’s executive remuneration approach is strongly performance focused. A significant proportion of executive remuneration is based on sustained 
performance, aligned with the business strategy.

Executive remuneration at Mirvac is:
 – performance based: more than 50 per cent of total remuneration is at risk;
 – equity focused: 52 per cent of the CEO/MD’s total remuneration is paid in equity and about one third of other Executive KMP members’ total 

remuneration is paid in equity;

 – encouraging an ownership mindset: as a minimum securityholding:

 – the CEO/MD is required to hold 100 per cent of fixed remuneration as Mirvac securities, increasing to 150 per cent from 1 July 2018; and
 – all other Executive KMP are required to hold 50 per cent of their fixed remuneration as Mirvac securities, increasing to 100 per cent from 1 July 2018; and

 – multi-year focused: 50 per cent of STI deferral is subject to a one year holding lock and the remaining 50 per cent to a two year holding lock. 

LTI performance is measured over a three-year period.

The graphs below set out the remuneration structure and mix for the CEO/MD and other Executive KMP members at Mirvac:

6  How remuneration is structured
Market positioning of fixed and total remuneration

Mirvac has adopted a market positioning strategy designed to attract and retain talented employees, and to reward them for delivering strong 
performance. The market positioning strategy also supports fair and equitable outcomes between employees.

Fixed remuneration acts as a base-level reward for a competent level of performance. It includes cash, compulsory superannuation and any salary-
sacrificed items (including FBT). Fixed remuneration at Mirvac is targeted at the median (50th percentile), with flexibility based on:
 – the size and complexity of the role;
 – the criticality of the role to successful execution of the business strategy;
 – role accountabilities;
 – skills and experience of the individual; and
 – market pay levels for comparable roles.

Total target remuneration (being fixed remuneration, STI and LTI) is positioned at the median (50th percentile), with the opportunity to earn total 
remuneration up to the upper quartile (75th percentile) in the event that both the individual and the business exceed stretch targets.

When determining the relevant market for each role, Mirvac considers the companies from which it sources talent, and to whom it could potentially lose 
talent. From time to time, the Board engages its independent remuneration advisor to provide remuneration benchmarking data as input into setting 
remuneration for Executive KMP. Refer section 15, page 70.

For business roles
 – primary comparison group: A-REIT sector, plus Lendlease; and
 – secondary comparison group: general industry with a similar market capitalisation (50 per cent to 200 per cent of Mirvac’s 12 month average market 

capitalisation).

For corporate roles
 – primary comparison group: general industry with a similar market capitalisation (50 per cent to 200 per cent of Mirvac’s 12 month average market 

capitalisation). The use of general industry reflects the greater transferability of skills for these roles; and

 – secondary comparison group: specific peers in the A-REIT sector, plus Lendlease.

STI: how does it work?

Purpose
Eligibility

Target, minimum 
and maximum STI 
opportunity
Group STI scorecard/
pool funding

Motivate and reward employees for contributing to the delivery of annual business performance.
All permanent Mirvac employees are eligible to participate in the STI plan, subject to having more than three months’ active 
service during the financial year and remaining employed on the award date.
A target STI is set for each individual, which will be earned if Group and individual performance meets the stretch targets. 
Actual STI awards depend on Group and individual performance but can range from zero up to the maximum of 200 per cent 
of the target opportunity.
Group operating profit must be at least 90 per cent of plan before any STI payments are made.
The STI pool funding is calculated based on operating profit and ROIC (both with 50 per cent weighting) and moderated by 
the Board, based on achievement of strategic objectives. The targets for the individual strategic objectives are not disclosed 
as some are commercially sensitive however, our performance against targets will be disclosed retrospectively as we have 
done this year on pages 56 and 57. The objectives are quantitative in nature and are set in line with the short and medium 
term strategic objectives.

Hedging

Vesting of LTI grants is dependent on achieving relative TSR performance and ROIC targets over a three-year period, with the 
Board having over-arching discretion to ensure vesting outcomes are appropriately aligned to performance.
The performance rights will automatically exercise if and when the Board determines the performance conditions are achieved. 
If the performance rights vest, entitlements will be satisfied by either an allotment of new securities to participants or by the 
purchase of existing securities on-market. Any performance rights that do not vest at the end of the performance period will lapse. 
There is no re-testing.
Executive KMP members will be expected to retain the resulting securities until they satisfy the minimum securityholding 
guidelines.
Resignation or dismissal: all unvested performance rights are forfeited.
Retirement, redundancy, agreed transfer to an investment partner, total and permanent disablement or death: the HRC determines 
the number of rights which will lapse or are retained, subject to both the original performance period and hurdles.
Change of control event: the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines the number of performance rights that vest, if any, taking 
into account the performance from the date of grant to the event.
Mirvac has in place a clawback policy for Executive KMP (and other Executives capable of influencing the results of the Group). 
The policy gives the Board the ability to claw back incentives in the event of a material financial misstatement.
Dilution that may result from securities being issued under Mirvac’s LTI plan is capped at the limit set out in ASIC Class Order 
14/1000, which provides that the number of unissued securities under those plans must not exceed 5 per cent of the total number 
of securities of that class as at the time of the relevant offer.
Consistent with the Corporations Act 2001, participants are prohibited from hedging their unvested performance rights.

7  Business and executive remuneration outcomes
How the Group’s performance has translated into STI awards

Performance was strong across the Group in FY18, with operating profit and ROIC 
outperforming targets set by the Board. The Group’s STI scorecard of 130 per cent 
(of a potential 150 per cent) reflects the strong financial results.

Mirvac’s financial performance directly affects the STI awards in two ways:
 – The STI has a gateway requirement of Group operating profit being at least 

90 per cent of target.

 – The Group’s STI scorecard has two financial measures, each worth 50 per cent 

of the total pool: operating profit and ROIC.

This graph shows how the average STI outcome for all employees has been 
closely tied to performance on these two measures.

Financial performance in each case is expressed as a percentage of the business 
target set for the year, while the STI outcome represents the average STI award 
to participants that year as a percentage of target.

Each Executive KMP is awarded an individual STI score between zero and 150% of their target. Scores are based  
on an assessment of their performance for the year against their individual objectives.

How the Group’s performance has translated into LTI awards

Mirvac’s financial and security price performance directly affects the vesting of the LTI awards:
 – half of the LTI is subject to a relative TSR performance measure; and
 – the remaining half is subject to ROIC.

Vesting of LTI grants is dependent on achieving relative TSR performance and ROIC targets over a three-year period, with the Board having over-
arching discretion to ensure vesting outcomes are appropriately aligned to performance.

The three years to 30 June 2018 saw strong performance against both measures for the FY16 award:
 – Mirvac’s absolute TSR performance of 30.63 per cent was at the 59th percentile of the comparator group, resulting in vesting of 68 per cent of the 

TSR component.

 – The Group ROIC performance was 12 per cent which outperformed the stretch target of 10 per cent, resulting in 100 per cent vesting of the ROIC 

component.

 – As a result, total vesting for the FY16 award was 84 per cent.

Non-Executive Director fees

The CEO/MD’s remuneration was not changed during FY18.
Remuneration for the CEO/MD in the table in section 9 increased from $4.9m to $5.9m in FY18 due to the vesting 
of the FY16 LTI award (84 per cent vesting of the FY16 award v 50 per cent vesting of the FY15 award).
Susan MacDonald received a fixed pay increase from $700,000 to $800,000 per annum as at 1 October 2017. 
This increase is a reflection on Susan’s experience and sustained performance in the Head of Retail role.
There were no increases to the fixed remuneration or total target remuneration for any other Executive KMP 
during FY18. 
Strong results across all operating metrics resulted in an above-target STI pool of 130 per cent, down from 
135 percent in FY17.
The STI pool in FY18 was driven by:
 – operating profit increasing to $580m from $534m in FY17;
 – ROIC performance of 11.4 per cent down from 12.4 per cent in FY17; and
 – strong performance against the scorecard of the strategic objectives. 
The STI pool was lower despite strong overall performance of the Group reflecting increasingly stretching targets 
set by the HRC.
Vesting of LTI grants is dependent on achieving relative TSR performance and ROIC targets over a three-year 
period, with the Board having over-arching discretion to ensure vesting outcomes are appropriately aligned 
to performance.
The three years to 30 June 2018 saw strong performance against both measures for the FY16 award. Mirvac's 
absolute TSR performance of 30.63 per cent was at the 59th percentile of the comparator group, resulting in 
vesting of 68 per cent of the TSR component. The Group ROIC performance was 12 per cent which outperformed 
the stretch target of 10 per cent, resulting in 100 per cent vesting of the ROIC component. As a result, total 
vesting for the FY16 award was 84 per cent.
No changes.

9  Actual remuneration received in FY18
The following table sets out the actual value of the remuneration received by Executive KMP members during the year.

The figures in this table are different from those shown in the accounting table in section 10 which includes an apportioned accounting value for all 
unvested STI and LTI grants during the year (some of which remain subject to satisfaction of performance and service conditions and may not ultimately 
vest). The table below, on the other hand, shows the:
 – cash STI: the cash portion of STI payments to be made in September 2018 in recognition of performance during FY18;
 – deferred STI vested: the value of the deferred STI from prior years that vested in FY18 (being the number of rights that vested multiplied by the 

security price on the vesting date); and

 – LTI: the value of performance rights whose performance period ended 30 June 2018 (being the number of performance rights that vested multiplied 

by the security price on 29 June 2018, being the last business day of the performance period).

 STI payments relate to cash portion of STI awards accrued for the relevant year, payable September 2018.
 Non-cash benefits include salary-sacrificed benefits and related FBT where applicable. In the case of Stuart Penklis, this also reflects annual leave cashed out.
 Valuation of rights is conducted by an independent advisor.
 Long service leave relates to amounts accrued during the year.
 In both FY17 and FY18, Brett Draffen and Susan MacDonald elected to purchase additional leave. The amount shown above reflects the accounting expense relating to cash salary and is therefore net of 
any purchased leave amounts. There was no change to fixed remuneration for Brett Draffen, however Susan MacDonald received a fixed remuneration increase from $700,000 to $800,000 per annum 
effective 1 October 2017.
 In FY17, Shane Gannon elected to purchase additional leave and took a period of unpaid leave, the amount shown above reflects the accounting expense relating to cash salary and is therefore net of any 
purchased leave amounts. There was no change to fixed remuneration.
 Campbell Hanan took a period of unpaid leave during FY18, the amount shown above reflects the accounting expense relating to cash salary and is therefore net of any unpaid leave period. There was no 
change to fixed remuneration.
 Stuart Penklis commenced his role and therefore became an Executive KMP on 1 May 2017.

11  LTI grants in FY18
The table below shows LTI grants made during FY18, subject to performance conditions over the three-year performance period ending 30 June 2020. 
Accounting standards require the estimated valuation of the grants be recognised over the performance period. The minimum value of the grant is 
nil if the vesting conditions are not met. The maximum value is based on the estimated fair value calculated at the time of the grant and amortised 
in accordance with the accounting standard requirements.

1.  The calculation of the value of performance rights used the fair value as determined at the time of grant. For the LTI grants subject to ROIC performance, the initial accounting treatment for the FY15 

and FY16 grants assumes 50 per cent vesting, and from FY17 onwards the grant assumes 75 per cent vesting, which is reflected in the above valuation.

13  Other transactions with KMP
There are a number of transactions between KMP and the Group. The terms and conditions of these transactions are considered to be no more 
favourable than in similar transactions on an arm’s length basis. On occasions, Directors and other KMP may purchase goods and services from Mirvac. 
These purchases are on terms and conditions available to Mirvac employees generally. As set out in the Directors’ report, a number of the Directors of 
Mirvac are also Directors of other companies. On occasions, the Group may purchase goods and services from or supply goods and services to these 
entities. These transactions are undertaken on normal commercial terms and conditions and the Director or other KMP does not directly influence 
these transactions.

14  Service agreements for the Executive KMP
Each Executive KMP member, including the CEO/MD, has a formal contract, known as a service agreement. These agreements are of a continuing 
nature and have no fixed term of service.

There were no changes to the service agreements for Executive KMP in FY18.

The key terms of the service agreements for the CEO/MD and other Executive KMP members are summarised below:

The HRC has appointed Ernst & Young as its external remuneration advisor. Ernst & Young provides both information on current market practice and 
independent input into key remuneration decisions.

Ernst & Young’s terms of engagement include specific measures designed to protect its independence. To effectively perform its role, Ernst & Young 
needs to interact with members of Mirvac management, particularly those in the Human Resources team. However, to ensure independence, members 
of Mirvac’s management are precluded from requesting services that would be considered to be a ‘remuneration recommendation’ as defined by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

  FY18 Annual Report

71

During FY18, Ernst & Young provided the HRC with:
 – fair value calculations for equity awards;
 – market remuneration benchmarking and information, used as an input to the review remuneration framework; and
 – regulatory updates and market trend analysis.

No remuneration recommendations were provided by Ernst & Young or any other advisor during the year.

16  Non‑Executive Directors’ remuneration
Approach to Non-Executive Director fees

In contrast to Executive KMP remuneration, the remuneration of Mirvac’s Non-Executive Directors is not linked to performance. This is consistent with 
Non-Executive Directors being responsible for objective and independent oversight of the Group.

Mirvac Limited’s Constitution provides that Non-Executive Directors may determine their own remuneration but the total amount provided to all 
Directors (not including the CEO/MD and any other Executive Directors) must not exceed the sum agreed by securityholders at a general meeting. 
The maximum aggregate remuneration of $2.25m per annum was approved by securityholders at the 2014 AGM.

Non-Executive Directors have not received any fees other than those described in this section, and do not receive bonuses or any other incentive 
payments or retirement benefits.

The Non-Executive Directors are reimbursed for expenses properly incurred in performing their duties as a Director of Mirvac.

The schedule of fees for Non-Executive Directors during FY18 is set out in the table below and fees are annual fees, unless otherwise stated:

Board/committee

Mirvac Limited and Mirvac Funds Limited Board Chair
Mirvac Limited and Mirvac Funds Limited Board member
ARCC and HRC Chair
Committee member
Due Diligence Committee (per diem fee)

1.  Chair fee covers all Board and committee responsibilities.
2.  The ARCC and HRC Chair fee is in addition to the committee member fee.
3.  The single committee fee is paid once for all committee memberships.

Minimum securityholding for Non-Executive Directors and actual securityholding

In order to further strengthen the alignment of interests between Non-Executive Directors and securityholders, the Board established minimum Mirvac 
Securityholding Guidelines which recommend Non-Executive Directors build up to a minimum securityholding level. In December 2017, this minimum 
securityholding level was increased from 25,000 Mirvac securities to 50,000 Mirvac securities. Non-Executive Directors appointed to the Mirvac Board 
will have three years to establish their securityholding to the minimum level from their date of appointment.

In addition to this minimum securityholding requirement, in FY18 a voluntary Non-Executive Director Fee Sacrifice Rights Plan was introduced to further 
encourage Directors to build an ownership stake in Mirvac.

prior two reporting periods.
Key management personnel are those people with authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly.
A right to a Mirvac security at the end of a performance period, subject to the satisfaction of performance measures.

Total Return is the profit for the year attributable to securityholders adjusted for development interest costs and other 
interest costs; net gain or loss on financial instruments; and income tax expense.
Total Shareholder Return measures the percentage growth in a company’s security price together with the value of 
dividends/distributions received during the period, assuming that all of those dividends/distributions are reinvested into 
new securities.

A Basis of preparation

Mirvac Group – stapled securities
A Mirvac Group stapled security comprises one Mirvac Limited share 
‘stapled’ to one unit in Mirvac Property Trust (MPT) to create a single 
listed security traded on the ASX. The stapled securities cannot be 
traded or dealt with separately. Mirvac Limited (the deemed parent 
entity) and Mirvac Funds Limited (as responsible entity for MPT) have 
common directors and operate as Mirvac Group. Mirvac Limited and MPT 
have a Deed of Cooperation to recharge each other on a cost recovery 
basis, where permitted by law, to maintain the best interests of Mirvac 
as a whole.

The stapled security structure will cease to operate on the first of:
 – Mirvac Limited or MPT resolving by special resolution in a general 
meeting, and in accordance with its Constitution, to terminate the 
stapled security structure; or

 – Mirvac Limited or MPT commencing winding up.

The ASX reserves the right (but without limiting its absolute discretion) 
to remove entities with stapled securities from the official list if their 
securities cease to be stapled together, or either one or more stapled 
entities issues any equity securities of the same class which are 
not stapled.

Mirvac Limited and MPT remain separate legal entities in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001. For accounting purposes, Mirvac Limited has 
been deemed the parent entity of MPT.

Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial 
statements. They have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Corporations Act 2001 and 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis of preparation
Mirvac Group is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 
financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern 
basis, using historical cost conventions except for investment properties, 
investment properties under construction, derivative financial instruments 
and other financial assets and financial liabilities which have been 
measured at fair value.

All figures in the financial statements are presented in Australian dollars 
and have been rounded to the nearest million (m) dollars in accordance 
with ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise indicated.

Where necessary, comparative information has been restated to conform 
to the current year’s disclosures.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires estimation and 
judgement. The areas involving a higher degree of estimation or 
judgement are discussed in the following notes:

Revenue
Income tax
Investment properties
Investments in joint ventures 
Inventories
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Security-based payments
Intangible assets

New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The new and amended standards adopted by the Group for the year 
ended 30 June 2018 have not had a significant impact on the current 
period or any prior period and are not likely to have a significant impact in 
future periods.

New standards not yet adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards have been published that are not 
mandatory for the year ended 30 June 2018 and have not been early 
adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these 
new standards is set out in the table below:

Accounting standard AASB 9 Financial Instruments
Nature of change

Impact on financial 
statements

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets, financial liabilities and hedging and a 
new impairment model for financial assets.
The Group has reviewed its financial assets and liabilities and is expecting the following impacts from the adoption of the new 
standard on 1 July 2018.
There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities as the new requirements only affect the accounting 
for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have any such liabilities. 
The Group does not expect the new guidance to affect the classification and measurement of any other financial asset.
Upon the adoption of AASB 9, the new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on 
expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. For Mirvac, the new ECL model applies to its trade receivables, loans to unrelated parties 
and loans to joint ventures. Based on the assessments undertaken to date, the Group expects a minimal increase in the loss 
allowance for trade debtors.
The new hedge accounting rules will align the accounting for hedging instruments more closely with the Group’s risk 
management practices. As a general rule, more hedge relationships might be eligible for hedge accounting, as AASB 9 
introduces a more principles-based approach. The Group has confirmed that its current hedge relationships will qualify 
as continuing hedges upon the adoption of AASB 9.
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to 
change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption 
of the new standard.

Mandatory  
application date

Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018.
Mirvac will adopt AASB 9 for the year ending 30 June 2019 retrospectively, with the practical expedients permitted under the 
standard. Comparatives for 30 June 2018 will not be restated.

application date

AASB 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer.
AASB 15 permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for adoption.
Management has assessed the effects of applying the new standard on the Group’s financial statements and has identified the 
following areas that will be affected:
Development revenue: The Group expects that the impact of the below changes will be reflected as an increase to opening 
retained earnings at the transition date of 1 July 2018 of less than $10m with a corresponding increase in net assets. 
Commercial 
The Group has determined that revenue on commercial developments which are funded by a third party will move to 
recognition of revenue over-time compared to the current policy of recognition at practical completion. The revenue 
recognition on these commercial developments over-time or on practical completion will depend on individual development 
contracts. 
Residential 
Residential revenue on apartment and master planned communities will continue to be recognised at settlement unless the 
sale of land is completed prior to construction of a building. In that case, there are two performance obligations being the sale 
of the land, and development of the building. The revenue on the land sale will be recognised at a point in time, separate to any 
revenue recognised over-time for construction of a building. 
Sales commissions, previously expensed when incurred, will be capitalised and expensed when associated revenue is 
recognised.
Investment property rental revenue: Currently, property rental revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease 
term. Investment properties rental revenue will be split and disclosed separately between lease and non lease components, with 
non lease components recognised and measured under AASB 15. This is not expected to change the measurement or timing of 
the investment property rental revenue.
Assets & funds management revenue: The new standard will have minimal impact on the Group’s assets and funds 
management revenue which is recognised upon delivery of services. Recognition will continue to remain the same for these 
income streams under the new standard.
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Mirvac will be required to adopt AASB 15 for the year 
ending 30 June 2019.
The Group intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which means that the cumulative impact 
of the adoption will be recognised in 1 July 2018 opening retained earnings and comparatives will not be restated. The new 
standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation.

Accounting standard AASB 16 Leases
Nature of change

AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. This standard will 
result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet of lessees, as the distinction between operating and finance 
leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are 
recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.
Group as lessee: The Group enters into lease agreements as lessee for some commercial tenancies and operating equipment. 
These are currently disclosed as operating lease commitments in Note C5. An analysis of the Group’s lease portfolio is 
underway, and it has not yet been determined the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will be recognised on adoption of 
the new standard, nor the impact on the consolidated SoCI going forward. 
Group as lessor: Where the Group is the lessor in a lease agreement, adjustments may be required to align accounting for 
these leases with the new definitions of lease term, variable lease payments, and extension/termination options. However, there 
are no significant impacts expected.
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted if AASB 15 is also adopted.
The Group expects to adopt this standard for the year ending 30 June 2020.

Financial report84

B2  Revenue

The Group has two main revenue streams; development revenue and property rental revenue. Development revenue is derived from 
constructing and then selling properties. Property rental revenue comes from holding properties as investment properties and earning 
rental yields over time.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Mirvac 
recognises revenue when it can be reliably measured, payment is probable and the specific criteria for each revenue stream have been met.

Development revenue
During construction, development projects are capitalised as inventories: refer to note C4. Revenue is recognised upon settlement 
of the development projects. Other revenue from development projects, such as project management fees, is recognised as services 
are performed.
Deferred revenue
Some development contracts on commercial projects are funded by a third party, generally known as fund through projects. Payments 
for these projects are received during construction. As revenue is only recognised on settlements, payments received are recognised as 
deferred revenue until settlement. Although deferred revenue is classified as a liability in the consolidated SoFP, on settlement it will be 
recognised in the consolidated SoCI. At 30 June 2018, the Group held $348m of deferred revenue which mainly related to Melbourne 
projects: The Eastbourne, 477 Collins Street and Sydney projects: Green Square and Australian Technology Park (2017: $103m mainly 
related to Green Square, Sydney and Australian Technology Park, Sydney projects).
Property rental revenue
Rental revenue from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, net of any incentives. For further 
details on lease incentives, refer to note C1.
Asset and funds management revenue
Revenue is recognised as the service is delivered for property asset or investment funds management, property advisory and facilities 
management services.

B4  Events occurring after the end of the year
As previously announced on 16 July 2018, the Group exercised a put-and-call option with Wee Hur to acquire 80 Ann Street, Brisbane QLD. The Group 
and M&G Real Estate will be tenants in common, with each party funding $39.5m for the acquisition based on their 50 per cent ownership share.  
Subject to FIRB approval, settlement is expected to occur in the first quarter of FY19.

No other events have occurred since the end of the year which have significantly affected or may significantly affect Mirvac’s operations, the results 
of those operations, or Mirvac’s state of affairs in future years.

Financial report86

B5  Income tax

Most of the Group’s profit is earned by trusts which are not subject to taxation. Income from the trusts is instead attributed to unitholders 
who pay income tax at their marginal tax rates.

Accounting for income tax

Income tax expense is calculated at the applicable tax rate (currently 30 per cent in Australia) and recognised in the profit for the year, unless it relates 
to other comprehensive income or transactions recognised directly in equity.

The tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Broadly, current tax represents the tax expense paid or payable for the current year. Deferred 
tax accounts for tax on temporary differences. Temporary differences generally occur when income and expenses are recognised by tax authorities and 
for accounting purposes in different periods.

Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax losses, are only recognised to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available 
to utilise the losses in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is not recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Mirvac estimates future taxable profits based on reviewed budgets and forecasts extending five years. Future taxable profits are influenced by a variety 
of general economic and business conditions, which are outside the control of Mirvac. A change in any of these assumptions could have an impact on 
the future profitability of the Group and may affect the recovery of deferred tax assets.

Tax consolidation legislation

Mirvac Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities are in a tax consolidated group. The entities in the tax consolidated group have 
entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of 
a default by the head entity, Mirvac Limited.

The entities in the tax consolidated group have also entered into a tax funding agreement to fully compensate/be compensated by Mirvac Limited for 
current tax balances and the deferred tax assets for unused tax losses and credits transferred.

1.  Management determined it appropriate during the prior period to recognise a Deferred Tax Asset on some its past tax losses on the basis that it is probable that there will be sufficient future taxable 

profits to utilise those tax losses.

2.  The income tax expense/(benefit) represents both current and deferred tax.
3.  Effective tax rate is calculated as the income tax expense divided by the profit which is subject to taxation. The effective tax rate for 2017 was calculated by excluding the tax benefit recognised on prior 

period tax losses to reflect a normalised effective tax rate.

C Property and development assets

This section includes investment properties, investments in joint ventures and inventories. They represent the core assets of the business 
and drive the value of the Group.

C1  Property portfolio
Mirvac holds a property portfolio for long term rental yields. Depending on the specific arrangements for each property, they are classified as investment 
properties or properties held through joint ventures.

Refer to note I1 for a detailed listing of Mirvac’s property portfolio.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties owned by Mirvac and not occupied by the Group. Investment properties include investment 
properties under construction, which will become investment properties once construction is completed.
Mirvac accounts for its investment properties at fair value and revaluations are recognised as other income in the consolidated SoCI.
Investments in joint ventures (JV)

Mirvac enters into arrangements with third parties to jointly own investment properties.
If Mirvac has joint control over the activities and joint rights to the net assets of an arrangement, then it is classified as a JV.
The JV hold investment property at fair value and Mirvac recognises its share of the JV’s profit or loss as other income. For further details 
on accounting for JV, refer to note C3.
Judgements in fair value estimation

Fair value is based on the highest and best use of an asset – for all of Mirvac’s property portfolio, the existing use is its highest and best use.
The fair values of properties are calculated using a combination of market sales comparison, discounted cash flow and capitalisation 
rate. To assist with calculating reliable estimates, Mirvac uses external valuers on a rotational basis. Approximately half of the portfolio is 
externally valued each year with management internally estimating the fair value of the remaining properties.
The fair values are a best estimate but may differ to the actual sales price if the properties were to be sold. The key judgements for each 
valuation method are explained below:
Market sales comparison: Utilises recent sales of comparable properties, adjusted for any differences including the nature, location and 
lease profile.
Discounted cash flow (DCF): Projects a series of cash flows over the property’s life and a terminal value, discounted using a discount rate 
to give the present value.
The projected cash flows incorporate expected rental income (based on contracts or market rates), operating costs, lease incentives, lease 
fees, capital expenditure, and a terminal value from selling the property. The terminal value is calculated by applying the terminal yield 
to the net market income. The discount rate is a market rate reflecting the risk associated with the cash flows, the nature, location and 
tenancy profile of the property relative to comparable investment properties and other asset classes.
Capitalisation rate: Capitalises the fully-leased net income for a property into perpetuity at an appropriate capitalisation rate.
The fully-leased net income is based on contracted rents, market rents, operating costs and future income on vacant space. The 
capitalisation rate reflects the nature, location and tenancy profile of the property together with current market evidence and sales of 
comparable properties.
There generally is not an active market for investment properties under construction, so fair value is measured using DCF or residual 
valuations. DCF valuations for investment properties under construction are as described above but also consider the costs and risks of 
completing construction and letting the property.
Residual: Estimates the value of the completed project, less the remaining development costs which include construction, finance costs 
and an allowance for developer’s risk and profit. This valuation is then discounted back to the present value.
Note C2 explains the key inputs and sensitivity to changes.
Lease incentives

The carrying amount of properties includes lease incentives provided to tenants. Lease incentives are deferred and recognised on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term.

Movement in any of the unobservable inputs is likely to have an impact on the fair value of investment property. The higher the net market income or 
10-year compound annual growth rate, the higher the fair value. The higher the capitalisation rate, terminal yield or discount rate, the lower the fair value.

C3  Investments in joint ventures
A joint venture (JV) is an arrangement where Mirvac has joint control over the activities and joint rights to the net assets. Refer to note G1 for details on 
how Mirvac decides if it controls an entity.

Mirvac initially records JV at the cost of the investment and subsequently accounts for them using the equity method. Under the equity method, the 
Group’s share of the JV’s profit or loss is added to/deducted from the carrying amount each year. Distributions received or receivable are recognised by 
reducing the carrying amount of the JV.

When transactions between Mirvac and its JV create an unrealised gain, the Group eliminates the unrealised gain relating to Mirvac’s proportional 
interest in the JV. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way unless there is evidence of impairment, in which case the loss is realised.

Judgement in testing for impairment of investments in JV

JV are tested for impairment at the end of each year, and impaired if necessary, by comparing the carrying amount to the recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount is calculated as the estimated present value of future distributions to be received from the JV and from 
its ultimate disposal.
At 30 June 2018, none of the investments in JV is considered to be impaired (2017: none). 

All JV are established or incorporated in Australia. Information relating to JV is at follows:

1.  Joynton North Property Trust is no longer accounted for as a JV and is consolidated as part of the Group. Refer to the Transfers Out section below for further details.

Transfers out

Following the acquisition of 49.9 per cent of the units in Joynton North Property Trust (JNPT) during the year ended 30 June 2017, the remaining 
50.1 per cent of the units in JNPT were acquired on 18 August 2017 JNPT is therefore no longer accounted for as a joint venture and is consolidated 
as part of the Group.

At the acquisition date, the carrying amount of the Group’s previously held 49.9 per cent equity interest in JNPT approximated its fair value of $156m. 
Accordingly, no gain or loss as a result of the remeasurement of the equity interest in JNPT to fair value was recognised in profit or loss.

A cash consideration of $156m was paid to acquire the remaining 50.1 per cent of units in JNPT and no goodwill arose from the acquisition as the 
consideration approximated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. On completion of the acquisition, the Group consolidated the assets 
and liabilities held by JNPT which included an investment property measured at fair value of $310m.

Capital expenditure commitments

At 30 June 2018, the Group’s share of its JV’s capital commitments which have been approved but not yet provided for was $nil (2017: $nil).

C4  Inventories
The Group develops some residential and commercial properties for sale, and not to hold as an investment property.

Inventories are classified as current if they are expected to be settled within 12 months or otherwise classified as non-current.

Development projects

Development projects are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). No inventories required write-downs to NRV during 
the year (2017: nil).
Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development, interest capitalised and all other costs directly related to specific projects. An allocation 
of direct overhead expenses is also included.
Judgement in calculating NRV of inventories

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and sell the development. NRV 
is estimated using the most reliable evidence available at the time including expected fluctuations in selling price and estimated costs to 
complete and sell.

D Capital structure and risks

This section outlines the market, credit and liquidity risks that the Group is exposed to and how it manages these risks. Capital comprises 
stapled securityholders’ equity and net debt (borrowings less cash).

D1  Capital management

Mirvac has a capital management framework, approved and monitored by 
the Board. The framework aims to address the market, credit and liquidity 
risks while also meeting the Group’s strategic objectives.

The Group seeks to maintain a minimum investment grade credit rating of 
BBB+ or Baa1 to reduce the cost of capital and diversify its sources of debt 
capital. The Group’s target gearing ratio is between 20 and 30 per cent.

If the Group wishes to change its gearing ratio, it could adjust its dividends/
distributions, issue new equity (or buy back securities), or sell property to 
repay borrowings.

At 30 June 2018, the Group was in compliance with all regulatory and debt 
covenant ratios.

The Group uses derivatives to hedge its underlying exposures to changes 
in interest rates on its new borrowings and to changes in foreign exchange 
rates on its foreign currency transactions.

The Group takes out borrowings at both fixed and floating interest rates and also uses interest rate derivatives to reduce interest rate risks.

During the period, the Group completed over $600m of new financing including EMTN issuances and a financing with Clean Energy Finance 
Corporation. The capital raised was predominantly applied towards repaying $200m of bonds expiring during the year and allowed the 
Group to decrease its bank loan facility limits from $1,400m to $1,100m.

At 30 June 2018, the Group had $906m of cash and committed undrawn bank facilities available.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method. Under the amortised cost method, any difference between the initial amount recognised and the redemption amount is recognised in the 
consolidated SoCI over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.

The fair value of the bank loans is considered to approximate their carrying amount; although some loans have fixed interest rates, the impact is 
immaterial. The fair value of the bonds is calculated as the expected future cash flows discounted by the relevant current market rates.

The following table sets out Mirvac’s net exposure to interest rate risk by maturity periods. Exposures arise predominantly from liabilities bearing variable 
interest rates as the Group intends to hold fixed rate liabilities to maturity.

Derivatives are classified as held for trading and accounted for at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as hedges. All derivative 
financial instruments used for hedge accounting are recognised initially at fair value and reported subsequently at fair value in the statement of 
financial position.

Financial report98

D3  Derivative financial instruments continued
Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting

Mirvac’s treasury policy sets out the hedging strategy and objectives to manage exposures arising from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency 
exchange rates. During the year, Mirvac adopted hedge accounting for foreign currency bonds only. At implementation, Mirvac formally designates and 
documents the relationship between hedging instruments (cross-currency interest rate swaps only) and the hedged items (foreign currency bonds) as 
well as the proposed effectiveness of the risk management objective that the hedge relationship addresses. On an ongoing basis, Mirvac documents its 
assessment of retrospective and prospective hedge effectiveness of all hedge relationships for changes in fair values or cash flows.

Prior to the adoption of hedge accounting this year, although Mirvac used derivative financial instruments to economically hedge its borrowings, they 
were not formally designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fair value movements were recognised in the consolidated SoCI, with a net fair 
value loss in June 2017 of $94m.

Fair value hedge

A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of an asset or liability (such as a bond) that is attributable to a particular risk 
(such as movements in interest rates).

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the consolidated SoCI, together with any 
changes in the fair value of the hedged asset/liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

Cash flow hedge

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with an asset, liability or highly 
probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity via the cash 
flow hedge reserve. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the consolidated SoCI immediately.

All derivatives require settlement on a monthly or quarterly basis. Translation gains or losses on the net investment in foreign operations are recorded 
through the foreign currency translation reserve.

D4  Financial risk management

Mirvac’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Mirvac seeks to minimise the 
potential impact of these financial risks on financial performance, for example by using derivative financial instruments to protect against 
interest rate and foreign exchange risk.

Financial risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Mirvac Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board. The Board 
provides overall risk management principles and policies covering specific areas. Mirvac Group Treasury identifies, evaluates, reports and manages 
financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units in accordance with Board policy.

The table below summarises key financial risks and how they are managed:

Risk

Exposures arising from 

Management of exposures

Market risk – 
interest rate

The risk that the fair value

 – Borrowings issued at fixed 
rates and variable rates

 – Derivatives

 – Interest rate derivatives manage cash flow interest rate risk 
by converting floating rate borrowings to fixed or capped 
rates with target of 55 per cent.

 – Mirvac does not manage the fair value risk for debt 

instruments from interest rates, as it does not have an impact 
on the cash flows paid by the business.

borrowings to Australian dollar exposures. These cross 
currency interest rate swaps have been designated as cash 
flow hedges with the movements in fair value recognised 
while they are still in an effective hedge relationship.
 – Foreign currency borrowings as a natural hedge for 

foreign operations.

 – The Group is exposed to minimal price risk and so does not 

manage the exposures. 

 – Setting credit limits and obtaining collateral as security 

(where appropriate).

 – Diversified trading spread across large financial institutions 

with investment grade credit ratings.

 – Regularly monitoring the exposure to each counterparty and 

their credit ratings.

 – Refer to note F1 for details on credit risk exposure on 

receivables. The Group deems the exposure to credit risk 
as immaterial for all other classes of financial assets and 
liabilities.

 – Regular forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements. 

Surplus funds are only invested in highly liquid instruments.

 – Availability of cash, marketable securities and committed 

credit facilities.

 – Ability to raise funds through issue of new securities through 

placements or DRP.

 – Refer to note D2 for details of liquidity risk of the Group’s 

financing arrangements.

D4  Financial risk management continued
Market risk

Foreign exchange risk
The cross-currency interest rate swaps that are in place cover 100 per 
cent of the foreign denominated bonds (interest payments and redemption 
value) with the same maturity profiles as the bonds. This removes exposure 
to foreign exchange movements between the foreign currencies and the 
Australian dollar.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the entity’s functional 
currency using the exchange rate at the transaction date. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from settling foreign currency transactions and 
from translating foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at year end 
are recognised in the consolidated SoCI.

1.  This calculation shows the impact on borrowings, cash and derivative financial instruments held as an economic hedge. It assumes that no interest is capitalised into qualifying assets as discussed 

in note B3. If fair value movements were excluded, operating profit would reduce if interest rates were to rise.

2.  The profit or loss impact is due to fair value movements in the cross-currency swaps; operating profit would not be impacted by movements in US, Japanese or Hong Kong interest rates.

D5  Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Mirvac measures various financial assets and liabilities at fair value which, in some cases, may be subjective and depend on the inputs used 
in the calculations. The different levels of measurement are described below:
 – Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 – Level 2: not traded in an active market but calculated with significant inputs coming from observable market data; and
 – Level 3: significant inputs to the calculation that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Mirvac holds no Level 1 financial instruments.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Mirvac’s financial instruments are as follows:

Derivative financial instruments

Mirvac’s derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2, as the fair values are calculated based on observable market interest rates and 
foreign exchange rates. The fair values of interest rate derivatives are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on 
observable yield curves.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets include units in unlisted funds and loan notes issued by unrelated parties; refer to note F2 for further details. The carrying value 
of other financial assets is equal to the fair value.

Units in unlisted funds are traded in inactive markets and the fair value is determined by the unit price as advised by the trustee of the fund, based on 
the value of the fund’s underlying assets. The fund’s assets are subject to regular external valuations using the valuation methods explained in note C1.

The fair value of convertible notes and loan notes is calculated based on the expected cash inflows. Expected cash inflows are determined based on the 
repayment terms, interest rates, agreed project costs and credit risk.

The following table summarises the financial instruments measured and recognised at fair value on a recurring a basis:

E2  Contributed equity

Mirvac’s contributed equity includes ordinary shares in Mirvac Limited and ordinary units in MPT which are stapled to create stapled securities.

Each ordinary security entitles the holder to receive distributions when declared, to one vote at securityholders’ meetings and on polls and to a 
proportional share of proceeds on winding up of Mirvac.

When new securities or options are issued, the directly attributable incremental costs are deducted from equity, net of tax.

E3  Reserves
Asset revaluation reserve (ARR)

Owner-occupied property is held at fair value but, unlike investment properties, revaluation gains are classified as other comprehensive income and held 
in ARR in equity.

Cash flow hedge reserve

The cash flow hedge reserve is used to record gains or losses on derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges and that are recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

Foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR)

During the period, Mirvac had one controlled entity which holds an investment property in the USA and its functional currency is US dollars. The assets 
and liabilities are translated to Australian dollars using the exchange rate at year end; income and expenses are translated using an average exchange 
rate for the year. All exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and the FCTR.

Security-based payments (SBP) reserve

The SBP reserve recognises the SBP expense. Further details on security-based payments are explained in note E4.

Non-controlling interests (NCI) reserve

The NCI reserve was used to record the discount received on acquiring the non-controlling interest in MREIT in December 2009.

1. 

In July 2016, Mirvac ceased its use of part of 60 Margaret Street, Sydney NSW as a head office. The property was therefore transferred from owner-occupied properties to investment properties and the 
ARR balance transferred to retained earnings during the year.

E4  Security‑based payments

Mirvac currently operates the following SBP schemes:
 – Employee Exemption Plan (EEP);
 – Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI); and
 – Short term incentive (STI) awards.

The total of all securities issued under all employee security schemes is limited to five per cent of the issued securities of the stapled group 
in any five year period.

EEP

The EEP provides eligible employees with up to $1,000 worth of Mirvac securities at no cost. Employees cannot sell the securities for three years or until 
they cease employment with the Group, in which case they keep any securities already granted. Other than the restriction on selling, holders have the 
same rights and benefits as other securityholders.

LTI

The LTI provides senior executives with performance rights to reward executives based on the Group’s performance, thus retaining executives and providing 
them with an interest in the Group’s securities. The performance rights vest based on Mirvac’s TSR and ROIC performance over a three-year period.

Legacy EIS

The superseded EIS operated before 2006 and also provided interest-free loans but without an eight-year restriction. Both schemes had three-year 
vesting periods. If an employee resigns, they have to either repay the loan or forfeit the securities.

Financial report104

E4  Security‑based payments continued
Accounting for the SBP schemes

The EEP securities issued each year are recognised as an expense and directly in contributed equity immediately. The securities issued in FY18 were 
issued on 8 March 2018 when the stapled security price was $2.13. At 30 June 2018, a total of 7.7m (2017: 7.2m) stapled securities have been issued to 
employees under the EEP.

The LTI, STI and legacy EIS are accounted for as equity-settled SBP. The fair value is estimated at grant date and recognised over the vesting period 
as an expense and in the SBP reserve. When the SBP vest, ordinary securities are issued and recognised as a transfer from the SBP reserve to 
contributed equity.

Judgement in calculating fair value of SBP

To calculate the expense for equity-settled SBP, the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date has to be estimated. The fair value 
is determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation for the relative TSR component; key judgements and assumptions include exercise price, 
vesting and performance criteria, security price at grant date, volatility, distribution yield and risk-free interest rate and a Binomial tree 
method for the ROIC component. These judgements and assumptions relating to fair value measurement may impact the SBP expense 
taken to profit or loss and reserves.

Assumptions used for the fair value of performance rights awarded during the current year are as follows:

Performance period end

F1  Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less 
provision for impairment if required. Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying amount (less impairment provision) is assumed to 
be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables, the carrying amount is also not significantly different to their fair value.

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that collection of 
the receivable is doubtful. The provision is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated future repayments, discounted 
at the effective interest rate where relevant. Receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to a single customer. The Group holds collateral over receivables of $300m (2017: $219m). 
The collateral held equals the carrying amount of the relevant receivables. Refer to note D4 for further details on the Group’s exposure to, and 
management of, credit risk.

Financial report106

F2  Other financial assets
Units in unlisted funds

The Group may hold units in distribution funds which do not give Mirvac control, as explained in note G1, or significant influence, as explained in note 
C3. Distributions received are recognised in revenue and any changes in fair value are recognised in the gain or loss on foreign exchange and financial 
instruments in the consolidated SoCI.

Loan notes

Loan notes of $156m were issued as partial payment for the sale of non-aligned assets during FY15 with interest accrued on the notes. All capitalised 
interest and partial repayment of the original principal were made during FY16 with an additional $50m repayment received during FY18.

Fair value measurement

Other financial assets are carried at fair value. Fair value is estimated as explained in note D5.

Collectability of other financial assets is reviewed on the same basis as receivables. Refer to note F1 for details.

F3  Intangible assets
Mirvac has two types of intangible assets: goodwill and management rights.

The goodwill acquired in a business combination is attributable to the profitability of the acquired business, as well as benefits derived from the acquired 
workforce and other intangible assets that cannot be separately recognised. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax.

Management rights are the rights to manage properties and funds and have been initially recognised at fair value as part of business combinations. 
Management rights relating to Office & Industrial are estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and impairment losses. Management rights relating to Retail are considered to be open-ended and therefore have no expiry. Management considers the 
useful life as indefinite and the management rights are tested annually for impairment.

The breakdown of intangible assets by operating segment is set out below:

Impairment testing
Goodwill and indefinite-life management rights are tested annually for impairment. Finite life management rights are tested when an 
indicator of impairment exists.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which goodwill is monitored for internal management 
purposes and allocated to cash generating units (CGU). The allocation is made to groups of CGU identified according to operating 
segments.
An asset is impaired if the recoverable amount, calculated as the value in use and the higher of fair value less costs to sell, is less than its 
carrying amount.
Key assumptions used to calculate value in use and the higher of fair value less costs to sell
Intangible assets are measured as Level 3 financial instruments. Refer to note D5 for explanation of the levels of value measurement.
The estimation of the recoverable amount depends on the nature of the CGU.
For CGU relating to the Group’s property portfolio, the value in use is the discounted present value of estimated cash flows that the CGU 
will generate. The cash flow projections are based on approved forecasts covering a 10-year period. AASB 136 Impairment of Assets 
recommends that cash flow projections should cover a maximum period of 5-years, unless a longer period can be justified. As the cash 
flow projections used for budgeting and forecasting are based on long term, predictable and quantifiable leases, with renewal assumptions 
based on sector and industry experience, management is comfortable that a 10-year cash flow projection is more appropriate. The key 
assumptions used to determine the forecast cash flows included net market rent, capital expenditure, Capitalisation rate, growth rate, 
discount rate and market conditions. The growth rate has been adjusted to reflect current market conditions and does not exceed the 
long-term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates. A terminal growth rate of three per cent has also been applied.
The discount and growth rates applied to the cash flow projections are specific and reflect the risks of each segment. The growth 
rate applied beyond the initial period is noted in the table below. The growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate 
for each CGU.

No intangible assets were impaired in 2018 (2017: nil).

The Directors and management have considered reasonably possible changes to the key assumptions and have not identified any reasonably possible 
changes that could cause an impairment.

Where the LSL provision is expected to be settled more than 12 months after year end, the expected future payments are discounted to present value. 
The corporate bond rates used to discount the expected future payments have maturities aligned to the estimated timing of future cash flows.

In calculating the LSL provision, management judgement is required to estimate future wages and salaries, on-cost rates and employee service periods.

Distributions payable

A provision is made for the amount of distributions declared at or before year end but not yet paid; refer to note E1.

Warranties

The Group is obliged to rectify any defective work during the warranty period of its developments. Warranties are also known as post-completion 
maintenance costs.

G Group structure

This section explains how the Group is structured, the Deed of Cross Guarantee between Group companies and disclosures for the 
parent entity.

G1  Group structure and deed of cross guarantee
Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements of Mirvac incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities. Controlled entities are all entities 
over which the Group has power to direct the activities of the entity and an exposure to and ability to influence its variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity.

Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date of control is obtained until the date that control ceases. Inter-entity transactions and balances are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the assets transferred.

Structured entities

A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity. 
Mirvac considers that all funds and trusts in which it currently has an investment, or from which it currently earns income, to be structured entities. 
Depending on the Group’s power to direct the activities of the entity and its exposure to and ability to influence its own returns, it may consolidate the 
entity. In other cases, it may sponsor or have some form of exposure to a structured entity but not consolidate it.

If Mirvac does not control a structured entity but has significant influence it is treated as an associate. The Group does not have any associates.

Funds and trusts

Mirvac invests in a number of funds and trusts which invest in real estate as investment properties. The funds and trusts finance their operations 
through borrowings and through equity issues. The Group determines whether it controls or has significant influence over these funds and trusts as 
discussed above.

Controlled entities

Mirvac Limited and certain wholly-owned entities (collectively the Closed Group) are parties to a Deed of Cross Guarantee. The members of the Closed 
Group guarantee to pay any deficiency in the event that another member winds up. Refer to note I2 for a list of Closed Group members.

The parent entity is party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee discussed in note G1 and therefore guarantees the debts of the other Closed Group members.

At 30 June 2018, the Group did not provide any other guarantees (2017: $nil), have any contingent liabilities (2017: $nil), or any capital commitments (2017: $nil).

Financial report112

H Other information

This section provides additional required disclosures that are not covered in the previous sections.

H1  Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that may become payable depending on a future event or a present obligation that is not 
probable to require payment/cannot be reliably measured. A provision is not recognised for contingent liabilities. 

Bank guarantees and performance bonds granted in the normal course of business
Health and safety claims 

As at 30 June 2018, the Group had no contingent liabilities relating to joint ventures (2017: $nil).

H2  Earnings per stapled security

Basic earnings per stapled security (EPS) is calculated by dividing:
 – the profit attributable to stapled securityholders; by
 – the weighted average number of ordinary securities (WANOS) outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS adjusts the WANOS to take into account dilutive potential ordinary securities from security-based payments.

Our audit approach 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually, or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Materiality 

•  For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $31.50 million, which 

represents approximately 5% of the adjusted profit before tax of the Group. 

•  We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of 

our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial report as a whole. 

•  We chose adjusted profit before tax of the Group as, in our view, it is the metric against which 

the performance of the Group is most commonly measured. 

•  Profit before tax is adjusted for fair value movements in investment property, unlisted equity 

investments, derivatives and foreign exchange movements because they are non-cash items that 
are generally excluded when assessing the financial performance of a property investment 
group. 

•  We selected 5% based on our professional judgment noting that it is within the range of 

commonly acceptable profit related thresholds.  

Audit scope 

•  Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant 

accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. 

•  The Group owns and manages investment property assets across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane 
and Perth. The Group’s development activities also create and deliver commercial assets and 
residential projects across these locations. The accounting processes are structured around a 
Group finance function at its head office in Sydney. Our audit procedures were predominately 
performed at the Group head office, along with a number of property and development site 
visits being performed across the year.

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context. Amongst other relevant topics, we communicated 
the following key audit matters to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee: 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

Carrying value of inventories 
Refer to note C4  $1,770m 

Inventories are stated at the lower of the cost and net 
realisable value for each development project.  

Cost is calculated using actual costs of acquisition, 
development, interest capitalised and all other costs 
directly related to specific projects. An allocation of 
direct overhead expenses is also included. 

The Group’s estimate of net realisable value includes 
assumptions about future events which inherently are 
subject to the risk of change. These assumptions 
include future sales prices, future settlement rates, 
forecast costs of completion, selling costs, the nature 
and quality of inventory held, location, economic 
growth factors and rising/falling interest rates 
amongst other factors. Changes in the Group’s 
estimates may have a material impact on net 
realisable value and therefore in determining whether 
the value of the project should be written down 
(impaired). 

In the same period that an item of inventory is sold, 
costs associated with that item of inventory are 
expensed to the income statement as development 
expenses.  The quantum of costs expensed is based on 
the forecast profit margin for the development project 
as a whole and results in recognition of a profit (or 
loss) margin in that period. 

This was a key audit matter given the relative size of 
the inventory balance in the Consolidated Statement 
of Financial Position and the significant judgment 

We performed a risk based assessment to determine 
those development projects at greater risk of being 
sold at a price below the cost of development to the 
Group.  

Our risk based selection criteria incorporates our 
knowledge of the life cycle of each project from prior 
years, site visits and our understanding of current 
economic conditions relevant to individual project 
locations. In addition to these risk conditions we 
select specific projects for testing which have 
previously been impaired, have a material current 
year inventory balance or are large contributors to 
revenue and profit in the year. 

Our audit procedures on the selected development 
projects included, amongst others: 

•  Discussing project feasibilities with 

management to develop an understanding of 
project status and risks and their basis of 
estimates of net realisable value used. 

•  Performing site visits to a selection of projects 
to develop our understanding of project status 
and risks.  

•  Testing the capitalisation of expenses and 

interest into inventory. 

•  Testing of key inputs into individual 

development project feasibility models,  
including:

matter 

involved in the estimates used to calculate net 
realisable value and the release of development 
expenses into the income statement.  

Fair value of investment properties 

Refer to note C2 - $9,294m 

The carrying value of investment properties is based 
on the fair value of each property.  

The fair value of investment property is inherently 
subjective and impacted by, among other factors, 
prevailing market conditions, the individual nature 
and condition of each property, its location and the 
expected future income for each property. Amongst 
others, the capitalisation and discount rate 
assumptions used in the valuation process are key in 
establishing fair value. 

At each reporting period the Directors determine the 
fair value of the Group’s investment property portfolio 
having regard to the Group’s valuation policy which 
requires all properties to be externally valued by 
independent valuation experts at least once every two 
years. 

In the period between external valuations the 
Directors’ valuation is supported by internal Mirvac 
valuation models (models).  

This was a key audit matter because the:

Financial Position.

investment properties can have a significant

-

Testing significant changes to cost 
assumptions from the prior year. 

•  Assessing whether the carrying value was the 

lower of net realisable value and cost.  

•  Recalculating costs recognised for a sample of 
settled sales based on the project’s forecast 
profit margin. 

We reconciled the Group’s list of investment property 
values to our prior and current year supporting 
evidence to check compliance with the Group’s policy 
that all properties had been externally valued at least 
once in the last two years. 

We read recent independent property market reports 
to develop our understanding of the prevailing market 
conditions in which the Group invests.  

We met with management and discussed the specifics 
of selected individual properties including, amongst 
other things, any new leases entered into during the 
year, lease expiries, capital expenditure and vacancy 
rates. 

For a sample of properties, we checked that the rental 
income data used in the valuation models tested was 
consistent with rental income for the property per the 
audited trial balance. 

For all properties externally valued at balance date we 
agreed the fair values of those properties to the 
external valuations, assessed the competency and 
capabilities of the relevant external valuer and 
checked that the Group followed its policy on rotation 
of valuation firms.   

We then focused our testing on the key assumptions 
in the external valuations and internal valuation 
models:

sensitivity of valuations to key input 
assumptions, specifically capitalisation and  
discount rates. 

•  We compared the capitalisation rates and 

discount rates used to an estimated range we 
independently determined via reference to 
benchmarks and market data. Where these 
rates fell outside of our anticipated ranges, we 
challenged the rationale by discussing with 
management the reasons to support the 
adopted value. We were satisfied that the 
variances appropriately related to the relative 
age, size or location of the property.  

•  We considered the reasonableness of other 

assumptions in the valuations that were not so 
readily available, such as vacancies, rent free 
periods and let up allowances and incentives.  

Recoverability of deferred tax assets 
Refer to note B5 - $143m 

Our audit has focused on the recoverability of 
deferred tax assets in the normal course of our audit, 
but also in light of the materiality of unused tax losses 
recognised by the Group within this balance. The 
Group carries an asset of $213m for the benefit 
expected to be received in the future from existing tax 
losses and also discloses a total of $80m in tax losses 
which have not been recognised due to uncertainty of 
utilisation. 

To assess whether the Group will receive the benefit 
from using these tax losses, the Group estimates and 
projects the likely taxable profits each year of Mirvac 
Limited (the parent entity of the Tax Consolidated 
Group) based on current and approved Board 
strategies. While Mirvac Property Trust generates 
taxable profits each year, this Trust income is 
distributed each year in full and is taxed in the hands 
of the stapled security holders as a Trust Distribution. 

This was a key audit matter as it involves the 
assessment of the Group’s significant judgements on 
future taxation events. Changes in the Group’s 
estimates also have a material impact on the deferred 
tax asset and the financial position of the Group. 

We assessed the Group’s ability to utilise the deferred 
tax assets by: 

•  Obtaining calculations of forecast taxable 

income for the next five years and agreeing 
these to the latest Board approved budget and 
forecast. 

•  Comparing the latest Board approved budget 

to historical performance to assess the 
consistency and accuracy of the Group’s 
approach to budgeting as compared to prior 
periods. 

•  Considering the key assumptions in the 

cashflow budget and forecasts. 

•  Evaluating whether the cashflows had been 
appropriately adjusted for the differences 
between accounting profits, as presented in the 
approved Board budget and forecast, to taxable 
income.  

•  Recalculating deferred tax asset balances 
which comprise a combination of timing 
differences between tax and accounting bases 
and tax losses.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all sections 
of the Group’s Annual Report with the exception of the Remuneration Report, Auditor’s Independence 
Declaration, Consolidated Financial Statements, Directors’ Declaration and Independent Auditor’s 
Report. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above 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, 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. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the 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 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 ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related 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. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether 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 the financial report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
