PAGE 4 WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS 1. PROPERTY DETAILS. Title Particulars. For the purpose of this assessment and have relied upon information provided within the PSP s Land Budget prepared by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA). This assessment is prepared on the basis individual Certificates of Title do not incorporate encumbrances of an adverse effect upon value. The PSP s include existing roadways for which title particulars could not be confirmed. In terms of the roadways, whilst the road increases the area within the PSP s, adjacent properties abutting the roads have rights of access, therefore the roadways are considered as encumbered land. Our valuation is based on the assumption that the parcels are individually titled and that there are no easements or encumbrances which have an adverse effect on our valuation. Our assessment does not reflect the current ownership of the holdings and are assessed on the basis that each parcel is within an individual ownership. Refer to Assumptions / Qualifications - Encumbrances. Native Title. There are no attributes observed that would identify the property as having co-existing or likely co-existing Native Title interests. Refer to Assumptions / Qualifications - Native Title.
WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS PAGE 5 Planning Details. Local Authority - City of Wyndham. Land Use Zoning and Development Controls. Pursuant to the provisions of the Wyndham Planning Scheme, the land is predominantly included within an Urban Growth Zone (UGZ). The objectives of this zone are as follows: To implement the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies. To manage the transition of non urban land into urban land in accordance with a Precinct Structure Plan. To provide for a range of uses and the development of land in accordance with a Precinct Structure Plan. To contain urban use and development to areas identified for urban development in a Precinct Structure Plan. To provide for a continued non urban use of the land until urban development in accordance with a Precinct Structure Plan occurs. To ensure that, before a Precinct Structure Plan is applied, the use and development of the land does not prejudice the future urban use and development of the land. Land within the PSP s is further incorporated within a Rural Conservation Zone (RCZ). The objectives of this zone are as follows: To implement the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies. To conserve the value specified in the schedule to this zone. To protect and enhance the natural environment and natural processes for historic, archaeological and scientific interest, landscape, faunal habitat and cultural values. To protect and enhance natural resources and biodiversity of the area.

PAGE 6 WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS Additionally, land within the PSP s is included within the following overlays: Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO) pursuant to Schedules 1 and 2 (ESO1 and ESO2). The purpose of this overlay is to identify areas where development of land may be affected by environmental constraints and to ensure that development is compatible with identified environmental values. Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO) pursuant to Schedule 6 (PAO6). The purpose of this overlay is to identify land which is proposed to be acquired by an authority and to reserve land for a public purpose and to ensure that changes to the use or development of the land do not prejudice the purpose for which the land is to be acquired. Our valuation has been completed on the basis the area s extent of encumbered land identified by the respective zoning and/or overlays have been identified within the land budget prepared by the GAA and there are no encumbrances identified within the zoning and/or overlay particulars which would impact upon the development potential of the subject holding or required extended holding periods due to planning or incur additional costs for development. Refer to Assumptions / Qualifications - Land Use Zoning and Development Controls. Current Use. At the date of our valuation, the subject land generally comprised vacant rural / residential land. The land is improved with dwellings, sheds and associated infrastructure. Potential / Future Uses. Pursuant to the Planning Scheme, the potential uses for the subject property may be summarised as those where a planning permit is not required (Section 1 of the Planning Scheme) and those where a planning permit is required (Section 2 of the Planning Scheme). Those uses noted under Section 3 (prohibited) are not considered to place any undue restriction upon the future use or development of the site. We refer you to the ordinances provided as an annexure to this report with respect to the allowable and prohibited uses. In undertaking our assessment of value of the subject parcels, we have had regard to the Future Urban Structure Plan, with the highest and best use of the individual unserviced parcels identified within the PSP s and Urban Structure Plan and current social and economic conditions within the western growth area. The highest and best use of the individual holdings is summarised within the Scope of Development - Highest and Best Use section of this report.
WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS PAGE 7 Site Description. The Wyndham West PSP s relate to five precincts, described as follows: Alfred Road PSP. The Alfred Road PSP relates to a total of 10 holdings and an existing road (Alfred Road) with a total parent area (excluding Alfred Road) of 89.35 hectares. The precinct is irregular in shape, bound by Geelong Road to the east, existing residential development to the north-east, existing railway line to the north-west and agricultural land to the south and west. In accordance with the Alfred Road Precinct Structure Plan: Background Information - Precinct Context and Site Features Report prepared by the GAA dated November 2011,... the land within the Alfred Road precinct is generally flat, sloping gently south towards Lollypop Creek. A minor drainage line winds from the northern boundary to the south carrying run-off from the precinct and, in high-rainfall events, overflow from flooding in the Melbourne-Geelong railway corridor. Additional run-off from high-rainfall events flows to the site from the neighbourhood of Westleigh Gardens in the north. These flows are managed by a retarding basin at the corner of Alfred and Geelong Roads from where they are piped east toward the Werribee River... flooding from Lollypop Creek does affect the eastern boundary of the precinct... As part of Melbourne Water s Development Services Scheme (DSS) the drainage line within the precinct will be modified to cater for the increased run-off post urban development. The new channel will be within a 45-metre reserve that runs centrally through the precinct... Drainage works within Black Forest Road South will also change flood characteristics within the region. Post construction, overflow from the high-rainfall events within the railway corridor are expected to be mitigated and the extent of the flooding along Lollypop Creek will be reduced. In accordance with the Alfred Road Draft Land Budget, the proposed encumbered land totals an area of 8.74 hectares. The encumbered land has been deducted from the parent area. Westbrook PSP. The Westbrook PSP relates to a total of 14 holdings and roads with a total parent area of 597.47 hectares. The precinct area is irregular in shape, bound by Ballan Road to the south, the proposed Outer Metropolitan Transit Corridor to the west, the Werribee River to the north and Armstrong Road and railway stabling yard to the east. Ballan Road PSP. The Ballan Road PSP dated August 2012 relates to a total of 30 holdings to provide a total gross area of 528.69 hectares (excluding existing roads). The precinct is broadly bound by Ballan Road to the south, McGrae Road to the east, Hobbs Road to the west and the Werribee River to the north. The Stages 1 and 2 - Desktop Environmental, Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Assessment prepared by Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) in July 2010 identifies the topography of the sites range in elevation from 30-60 metres above sea level and slope towards the east within the southeastern portion of the site with local undulations in topography. The assessment also identifies... there do not appear to be any significant Hydrogeological constraints which would render the land unsuitable for development. However, issues associated with the water table and ground water need to be considered.
PAGE 8 WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS Black Forest Road North PSP. The Black Forest Road North precinct relates to a total of 13 holdings to provide a total gross area of 494.65 hectares. The precinct is broadly bound by Black Forest Road to the south, Greens Road to the north, Armstrong Road to the east and the proposed OMR to the west. Black Forest Road South PSP. The Black Forest Road South precinct relates to a total of 11 holdings to provide a total gross area of 507.54 hectares (excluding existing roads). The precinct is generally bound by Black Forest Road to the north, Bulban Road / Old Bulban Road to the south, existing residential development to the east and rural residential / farming holdings to the west. The Stages 1 and 2 - Desktop Environmental, Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Assessment prepared by Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) in July 2010 identifies the eastern swamp areas and other parts of the site are subject to poor drainage. The report notes... there do not appear to be any significant hydrological constraints which would render the land unsuitable for development. The following issues would need to be considered however, in the planning and design of ant development: The shallow watertable in the Newer Volcanics may cause groundwater inflow to excavations. Increases to groundwater recharge rates (particularly over summer and autumn) has the potential to raise the watertable to within a few metres of the ground surface, potentially causing corrosion to infrastructure and buildings; and Decreased local groundwater recharge in winter and early spring has the potential to reduce discharge to nearby surface water features, which could potentially have a negative impact on the ecological health of local waterways.

WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS PAGE 15 Improvements. Each holding is assessed having regard to the proposed zoning and the notional highest and best use per the PSP s Urban Structure Plan. This report relates to the assessment of the parent holdings within the precincts for the implementation of a DCP. Therefore, the values assessed relate to the underlying land values. Accordingly, the improvements have been excluded from the assessments. Highest and Best Use. In accordance with the Future Urban Structure Plan prepared by the GAA, the parent holdings are proposed to yield primarily residential development (conventional density) and will also provide for employment uses, a local convenience centre and passive open space. Therefore, in assessing value, we have had considered the highest and best use of the parent holdings as inglobo residential uses development land.
PAGE 16 WYNDHAM WEST PSP S DCP LAND ASSESSMENTS 3. VALUATION RATIONALE. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Implications. Transactions of commercial properties and development land are subject to GST from 1 July 2000, at an amount equivalent to one eleventh (1/11th) of the sale price, for which it is the responsibility of the vendor to remit same to the Government. Accordingly, the vendor / notional vendor can only pass on the GST through a specific condition in the sale contract. Most contracts now include a clause that requires the purchaser to pay any GST on the basis that the purchaser is a registered business and entitled to a full input tax credit. This results in GST being a cash flow issue for the vendor only. Our valuation is expressed exclusive of GST on this basis. This valuation is based on the assumptions relating to GST set out above. If any of these assumptions are found to be incorrect, or if the party on whose instructions this valuation is provided wishes our valuation to be based on different assumptions, this valuation should be referred back to the Certified Practising Valuer for comment and, in appropriate cases, amendment. Valuation - Broad Hectare. Subject to the assumptions, we have assessed the current market value of the subject parent holdings reflecting the proposed underlying use. In arriving at our assessment of value, we have assessed the individual parent holdings on the direct comparison approach, having regard to the sales of land released in the western and northern growth corridors, as detailed within the Comparative Sales Evidence - Residential section of this report, market considerations and the associated positive and negative externalities. Accordingly, we have adopted value rates derived by the interpolation of determined rates to apply to the gross developable area of the parent holdings, adjusting for individual property attributes and externalities. In accordance with your specific instructions, we have expressed the value assessed as a rate per hectare respective of the proposed residential use. From the above assessments, the average overall broad hectare values expressed as a rate per hectare has been calculated at $390,000 per hectare.

Pursuant to the Native Title Act (Clth) 1993, and as amended 30 September 1998, land with the exception of an Exclusive Possession Grant, may be claimed as the property of Indigenous Australians leading to the co-existence or likely co-existence of Native Title in relation to a particular piece of land, subject to the verification of a prior or continuing connection to the land. We are not experts in Native Title or the property rights derived therefrom and have not been supplied with appropriate anthropological, ethnoecological and/or ethnographic advice. Therefore, the property valuation or assessment is made subject to there being no actual or potential Native Title affecting: The value or marketability of the property. The land. The National Native Title Register (NNTR) was established under Section 192 of the Native Title Act (Clth) 1993. The NNTR contains determinations of Native Title made by the High Court of Australia, the Federal Court of Australia, or such similarly recognised bodies. Formal verification that the property is not subject to co-existing Native Title interests and/or subject to determination should be obtained by searching the Registry of Native Titles Claims, which is administered by the National Native Titles Tribunal. We have viewed maps prepared by the National Native Title Tribunal detailing Native Title Applications, determination areas and indigenous land use agreements. The map does not identify that the subject property is affected by applications and determinations as per the Federal Court on 31 March 2010. This assessment is completed on the basis that the property is not affected by co-existing Native Title interests. Should subsequent investigation show that the land is subject to existing or potential co-existing Native Title interests, this property valuation or assessment will require revision and should be referred back to Charter Keck Cramer for consideration, comment and amendment. Land Use Zoning and Development Controls. Although a Planning Certificate has not been sighted, the zoning particulars have been confirmed by the online Planning Scheme, which is an internet based copy of the Planning Scheme provided by the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD). Our assessment is completed subject to the planning information obtained being current and correct. Please note that a Planning Certificate has not been provided or obtained. In the event that a Planning Certificate is obtained and the information thereon is materially different to that provided to Charter Keck Cramer via the approved internet based version, then we reserve the right to review our assessment and amend this report (as necessary). Land Description and Site Identification. A current survey has not been sighted. This valuation is subject to there being no encroachments by or upon the property and this should be confirmed by a current survey and/or advice from a Registered Surveyor. If any encroachments are noted by the survey report, the Valuer should be consulted to reassess any effect on the value stated herein.
