Distribution Performance
Distributions
Distribution Policy
The Trust has a practice of distributing up to 100% of its distributable income which is calculated as the net accounting profit attributable to Unitholders less any unrealised components. The Trust can give no assurance as to the specific level of distributions, if any, as this depends, among other factors, on the Trust’s net earnings from its properties and its ability to raise both debt and equity at an appropriate cost of capital.
Distribution Payments
The Trust makes its distribution payments on a quarterly in arrears basis. The Trust makes all distribution payments via Electronic Funds Transfer to Unitholders’ bank accounts.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is currently active.
The DRP can be a convenient way for investors to increase their holding in the Trust by reinvesting all or some of the distributions in additional Trust units. By participating in the DRP investors will not incur any brokerage, commission or stamp duty.
The DRP is not available to unitholders outside Australia and New Zealand.
Participation in the DRP is entirely optional. Investors may elect to:
- Participate fully in the DRP and all of your distribution will be reinvested into new Trust units;
- Participate partially in the DRP and the distribution on a specified number of the units will be reinvested in new Trust units. The distribution on the remaining units will be paid as a cash distribution; or
- Not participate in the DRP and continue to receive cash distributions.
Please click here to view the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, and click here to download a copy of the DRP form.
