WARRINA CENTRE UNIT TRUST

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM MAJOR FOOD & RETAIL CENTRE THE PRECINCT – TOWNSVILLE

JANUARY 2017

8.8% P.A. INCOME PAID MONTHLY

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE PEAK EQUITIES

The Opportunity

We are pleased to present our latest acquisition – a stand-alone food, retail and lifestyle centre including five National Brands based in Idalia, Townsville.

7 REASONS WHY WE SELECTED THE PRECINCT

1. SECURE, DIVERSIFIED INCOME

34 Tenants, including several leading National Brands. Staggered lease expiries with an excellent WALE of almost 4 years. No dependency on one or a small group of tenants. The property is near-new and unlikely to require significant capital expenditure.

2. THE VALUE

At $22 million, The Precinct has been purchased at a yield of 8.34%, which we consider to be very good buying in the current market. Comparable assets in the southern states would most likely sell at a yield of around 6.5%, commanding a sale price of around $28 million, for a similar income stream.

3. THE CONCEPT

The Precinct is an excellently-designed and constructed stand-alone food centre, with a small number of compatible lifestyle retail outlets. With 5 Major National food brands, the Centre is attractive to customers and retailers alike and is a recognised ‘destination’ food centre in Townsville.

4. LOCATION

Strategically located on one of Townsville’s major thoroughfares, less than 4km from the commercial centre of Townsville. Closely situated to the Army and Air Force bases (15,000 serving personnel); schools; residential developments; sporting complexes; and James Cook University.

5. INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS

Based on our forecasts, the net income of the Precinct Unit Trust is expected to average 9.7% p.a. over the next 7 years. We propose to make monthly income distributions at the rate of 8.8% p.a. providing adequate cash reserves for capital outlays and contingencies.

6. CAPITAL VALUE ENHANCEMENT

We see several opportunities for increasing the capital value of the property over a 5 to 6 – year term, including subdividing the property and creating a number of key stand-alone assets, each with an enhanced value.

7. WE LIKE TOWNSVILLE

The Capital City of North Queensland, with a major port, Universities, strategic military bases and a local economy that we believe has considerable near – term upside. Anticipated population increases should reflect directly in increased income and enhanced value for retail centres such as The Precinct.

Townsville Economic Development

Townsville, the largest city in Northern Australia, is a gateway to Queensland’s extensive mining and agricultural regions.

It is recognised as Northern Australia’s largest economy at $11.426 billion (value added, as at April 2014) and is a hub for growth and investment opportunity.

The city boasts a population of approximately 190,000 and an annual growth rate of 2.5% (2003-2013) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2012). This year Townsville is celebrating its 150th anniversary since being declared a municipality.

According to demographer Bernard Salt, ‘no city of comparable size has quite the connection into the future prosperity of the Australian nation as does Townsville’ (QLD Gov Website).

Townsville offers ‘stability, urban concentration and prosperity’ along with ‘a unique mix of employment drivers’ and ‘the highest average disposable household income among Australia’s 20 largest urban centres outside of a State or Territory capital’.

The Port of Townsville is the region’s major sea link for exporting the vast mineral wealth of the North West Minerals Province and North Queensland’s extensive agricultural produce, as well as receiving vital supplies for regional industry and the community.

As Australia’s largest garrison city, the Australian Defence Force is a pivotal component of the local economy, contributing around $800m annually to gross regional product (GRP).

Townsville is the tropical education and science hub for North Queensland. It has a concentration of world class education, training and research facilities, which are recognised internationally. It is the gateway to World Heritage listed rainforest and reef, tropical islands, national parks, wetlands, historical, military and outback experiences.

More than one million visitors spend over $662 million per year in Townsville. The city is serviced by the well-located Townsville Airport aviation hub servicing a catchment of 250,000 people, which is projected to more than double by 2030.
