Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Importantly, this innovation set us apart from our competitors and helped set up 25 years of continued profit growth. This year, we celebrate 50 years as a publicly listed company and we are now recognised as one of Australia’s largest and most successful diversified property groups.

Stockland was founded in 1952 by Ervin Graf, as the Stocks and Holdings Group of Companies. Five years later, Graf went public by taking over the smallest company on the Sydney Stock Exchange. In a world first for the real estate sector, we pioneered the development of the stapled security structure when we combined our trust and corporation activities into one stapled security, listed as SGP on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Cover We have created a world-class fit out at our new Sydney head office in the Piccadilly Centre.

Chairman’s letter

Dear investors,It is a pleasure to report another strong result – our 25th consecutive year of profit growth. This quarter century milestone is an outstanding achievement. It can be matched by very few Australian companies. It is especially pleasing this year as we celebrate the 50th year of our listing as a public company in 1957.

HighlightsOur 2007 operating profit was $611 million, an increase of 10.3 per cent over 2006. Our earnings per security rose 6 per cent to 44 cents. Our dividend and distribution rose 7 per cent to 44.3 cents per security. Our consistent profit performance and investor returns are testament to the strength of our diversified business model and our strong capabilities in property development, management and investment.

Our results are particularly pleasing given the challenging environment we faced in some markets, notably parts of the New South Wales residential market. Our diversified properties and project pipeline across the country continued to underpin the performance of our business in 2007.

Strategic expansionReflecting on this year, it is evident that we have passed a significant milestone in our strategy for growth, with our considered expansion into new areas of business, by product type and geographic location. Our strategic acquisition of UK property investment and development group Halladale marks our first entry into European markets. Stockland Halladale is now our platform for growth in the UK and Europe. Further, our acquisition of Australian Retirement Communities positions us as a top five player in this sector in Australia. We believe we can build on this foundation to create a market-leading position in this sector to complement our existing residential communities business.

CorporateresponsibilityStockland has a long-standing culture of disciplined, ethical business practice and we recognise our corporate responsibility to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. I am therefore pleased to report that our continued focus has seen us meet some significant targets this year, as outlined in our second annual corporate responsibility and sustainability report.

I am proud of what we have achieved so far, including our commitment to designing more water and energy efficient residential communities, introducing our retail tenancy “green” design guidelines and setting energy and water efficiency targets for our commercial offices. In addition, our new Sydney head office highlights our ability to refurbish an existing office space to deliver an innovative, sustainable and engaging workplace for our people. One of the biggest opportunities for the property sector is to contribute to reducing carbon emissions by effectively recycling and refurbishing existing building stock. Our new Sydney office demonstrates our leadership in this field.

Leadership One of the challenges we will continue to face is attracting and retaining high performing people. In an environment of high employment and skills shortages, our culture, values and workplaces are increasingly important as we strive to deepen our leadership and talent pool. We have made good progress in this critical area in 2007.

As a further stage of our Board renewal process, I am delighted to welcome Duncan Boyle. Duncan brings a wealth of experience in senior executive roles both in Australia and in the UK, adding to the Board’s collective experience. We have also announced the nomination of Barry Neil as a non-executive director. Barry brings many years of property industry expertise that will complement the existing skills and capabilities of the Board.

I would like to extend my thanks to all my Board colleagues for their continued support and commitment over the past year, and to our external directors of Stockland Funds Management Limited, Tony Sherlock and David Kent, who have made a valued contribution.

Board (A-I): Graham Bradley, Nick Greiner, Duncan Boyle, Lyn Gearing, Hugh Thorburn, Terry Williamson, Peter Scott, Matthew Quinn, Bruce Corlett.

Future outlookLooking ahead, volatility in the debt and equity markets across the globe indicates that 2008 will be a challenging year for our industry. In the future, we believe that strong property skills will be more important to successful companies in our industry than financial engineering. Stockland is therefore well positioned for this future environment, given our strong property capability, our strong balance sheet and our strong platforms for future growth.

In closing, I would like to acknowledge the leadership of Matthew Quinn, whose disciplined, practical and understated approach has again produced a year of noteworthy achievements in 2007.

I look forward to working with my Board colleagues and our leadership team to continue our track record of profit growth in 2008.

Managing Director’s message

A strategic approachAt the start of the financial year we took stock of our position in the marketplace, our capability and our competitive advantage. Our objective has always been to deliver outstanding returns for our investors, not just in absolute terms but relative to the multitude of other investment opportunities available.

The view we came to is that we have an outstanding platform, both in terms of our asset base and our people. However, the changing landscape and the world wide competitive nature of our business means that it is incumbent on us to look to new initiatives to deliver future performance, as well as continuing to deliver strong returns from our existing business. This decision wasn’t taken lightly and many organisations have failed at this point in their evolution by not taking a fully strategic approach.

At Stockland, strategy always comes first and opportunity second. Our strategy is driven by our competitive advantage, that is, what we bring to the table through our business model to deliver enhanced returns.

Our real competitive advantage is our integrated, diversified real estate platform coupled with our development expertise. This means we can capture synergies through access to wider market opportunities than sector specific business models, particularly as the rate of urbanisation and infrastructure consolidation gathers pace and we move towards more mixed-use developments.

We identified our next moves to really capture this advantage through:

•Amoveintotheretirementlivingsector,which is a natural evolution of our residential communities business and enhances our integrated platform

•Ameasuredexpansionintointernationalmarkets in locations where we can use our diversified platform to create value, focusing on fundamental property skills such as development, asset management and leasing – not just financial structuring

•Anenhancedapproachtocapitalpartnering and sharing risks and returns with a wider set of investors.

Delivery on strategyHaving agreed these strategies, we then moved into execution mode. We’re delighted to say that we fully delivered on this, through the acquisition of ARC, which gave us a significant and potential market leading position in the Australian retirement sector; the acquisition of Halladale, one of the UK’s leading small cap property development and asset management groups and the creation of Stockland Capital Partners.

All of these initiatives are a means to an end and not an end in themselves. We invested a reasonable portion of our balance sheet ($328 million for ARC and $525 million for Halladale); however, we also realistically managed the risks inherent in these acquisitions. Both acquisitions give us a platform for future growth and enable us to achieve critical mass in what are rapidly emerging and growing markets.

These acquisitions have now been successfully integrated. Through the retention of key management personnel and the introduction of our own people, we now have an enviable platform from which to grow.

Our recent initiative to create Stockland Capital Partners recognises the fact that global capital markets are changing. We need to be in a position to be able to fund our growth targets not just through traditional sources of listed equity and debt, but through other solutions ranging from co-investment joint ventures, traditional funds management and structured financial solutions for a broader range of investors. Stockland Halladale has historically operated in this kind of environment and has already built up $2.2 billion of assets under management. In Australia we have grown this business to $850 million of funds under management and our goal is now to extend our platform onto the global stage and form a strong bridge between the two platforms.

“ Our real competitive advantage is our integrated, diversified

PositionedforfuturegrowthThese strategic initiatives are very exciting for us, but rest assured we’ve kept our eye on the ball in our existing operations. All parts of our business, retail, commercial, industrial and residential, delivered record operating results which enabled us to achieve a record group operating profit of $611 million. All of our operating businesses are poised for further growth and market conditions are generally very favourable for us.

I would like to thank our whole team for not only delivering these great results, but also the energy they have shown in broadening our businesses at the same time. This has been a team effort and everyone’s contribution has been vital to these achievements. We have a great team at Stockland, and I’m proud of every one of them.

Review of the year – High performing people and culture

Our high performing people and positive culture, combined with our sound property skills, enable us to continually deliver on our strategic and financial objectives.

In a market in which it is increasingly difficult to attract and retain talented employees, a successful, growing and diversified business like ours which provides great career development opportunities is well positioned to attract and retain high quality people. This is reflected in our financial performance.

In 2007, we offered significant learning and development opportunities to our people, both on and off the job. We place strong emphasis on leadership and management training as well as technical skills. We also offer the Peter Daly International Fellowship, the Ervin Graf scholarships and various mentoring programs.

Our ongoing measurement of employee engagement via a globally recognised employee survey provides us with valuable feedback on how our employees feel about all aspects of working at Stockland.

Stockhome, Sydney head officeIn April 2007, we relocated our 600 Sydney head office employees to Piccadilly Centre in the Sydney CBD, creating a world-class office environment.

Our employees were consulted at every stage, ensuring we have the surroundings to further enhance their wellbeing and improve business performance. The new refurbishment includes over 10,000m2 across eight floors and is aimed at reducing our environmental footprint in line with our commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability.

Our vision to create one of Australia’s leading office environments demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class projects across our portfolio.

NewMelbourneHQ–452FlindersStreetWe relocated our 130 Melbourne employees to our Riverside Plaza office building in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

The new office incorporates an open plan layout and several environmental initiatives in line with our environmental commitments. This again showcases our ability to successfully recycle existing office buildings and deliver high quality, sustainable office space.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

“There is a strong link between employee engagement and financial performance.”

// 13

In 2007, with a 91 per cent response rate, we achieved an overall employee engagement score of 85 per cent. This is significantly above the average for other Australian companies and is considered on par with global best practice. There is a strong link between employee engagement and financial performance.

Our strong commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability (CR&S) involves high levels of employee consultation and involvement in new initiatives, such as our new Sydney and Melbourne head offices, and employee involvement in our CR&S and giving and volunteering committees. We place great emphasis on the health and safety of our employees and during the year increased our resourcing and focus on safety at all our sites.

We are committed to giving to the community through our work with Australian Business Community Network. Employees from all levels of our business across the country are involved in mentoring and other support programs in schools that receive priority assistance from the Department of Education.

We have established indigenous and disability cadetship programs and our employees contribute to many local community initiatives that primarily focus on children and the environment.

Diversity, engagement, leadership and innovation are core to the ongoing success of our business. Our values come from the top down. Our achievements in building an organisation where people are engaged and can excel have been widely recognised, with the Government’s Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency naming us an Employer of Choice for Women in 2007. We also received recognition as a Hewitt Best Employer for 2006/07.

We will continue to focus on understanding what motivates our employees and strive to maintain a work environment that rewards high performance and provides challenging career opportunities.

It is in a premier location in the Perth CBD, offering extensive views of the Swan River, parklands and the Supreme Court Gardens, and is fully leased until 2010. We will focus on unlocking rent reversions to drive further value.

StocklandGreenHills,NSW With a book value of $243 million and annual sales of circa $290 million for the 2007 financial year, Stockland Green Hills is one of the top performing centres in our retail portfolio. We will drive the continued performance of this centre with a significant upgrade and extension. A development application will be lodged in the coming year. The centre currently includes a Woolworths supermarket, Big W discount department store, Coles supermarket and 90 specialty stores.

Leveraging and extending our existing businessWhile we continue to deliver on our strategy for extending our business model and capabilities into new markets, we remain focused on property fundamentals and operational excellence within our existing businesses.

We are uniquely positioned to:

•Worktogethertounlockthepotentialfrom existing assets in our portfolio

•Sourcethebestmixed-useopportunities•Showcaseourmarketinsightanddesign

and delivery expertise

// 15

In our retail business, we have enhanced relationships with major retailers and strengthened our portfolio by acquisitions with asset management and development upside. In the coming year we anticipate continued positive retail sales, boosted by a combination of the strong employment market, increasing wages and recent tax cuts.

Our retail development pipeline has increased to approximately $1.8 billion, with a substantial rise in active projects. In the year ahead, we will have a renewed focus on leveraging our customer insight and improving amenities and services, ensuring our centres remain at the heart of the communities they serve.

Our commercial and industrial business achieved another solid performance this year. We will add value to our portfolio by capitalising on recent acquisitions, unlocking rent reversions and via the delivery of our burgeoning development pipeline, with nine projects forecast to commence across the country in the 2008 financial year.

This activity will be supported by the expected strong performance of the office market, with the resource-rich states continuing to outperform and Sydney set for rental growth due to limited supply.

The development division is in a strong position for 2008 with an extensive pipeline and diverse spread of projects. We will extract greater value from our projects as they mature. Core drivers for the residential market remain robust, with record population growth and high employment.

Changing demographics continue to fuel increased demand for retirement living facilities. We expect penetration rates to rise as product offerings increase, ensuring our business is poised for future growth.

We have a clear platform for future performance in our residential business, underpinned by a record value of contracts on hand and the quality and scale of our national portfolio.

CapitalpartneringopportunitiesWe are exploring opportunities to extend our capital partners business, which has already developed a solid unlisted funds platform. This approach will enhance our growth and provide a variety of products for a wider group of investors, including wholesale superannuation funds and retail investors.

NewbusinessinitiativesThe strength of our balance sheet ensures we have a competitive advantage in a changing marketplace. We will build on our success by capitalising on opportunities to add value – where we can see synergies and a fit with our overall strategy.

Stockland HalladaleThe creation of Stockland Halladale marks our successful debut on the global property stage. Our UK/continental Europe platform is a co-investment, trading, asset management and development business.

Shaftesbury House (pictured) is a commercial office building located in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre. Stockland Halladale will shortly demolish the existing structure and develop 5,300m2 of modern office space over eight levels. The site will be transformed into a mixed-use precinct including an extensive retail offering and underground parking.

A successful organic extension of our business this year saw us move into home finance with our own mortgage brokers introduced into some of our residential communities. This service complements our existing land sales business, and ensures we improve our customers’ experience at the point of sale.

We are constantly repositioning our assets, pursuing additional uses for projects (for example, the addition of an industrial precinct adjacent to our Lakewood residential community in Sydney’s Greystanes) and development opportunities (for example, through our acquisition of commercial office space in Brisbane’s Toowong adjacent to our Woolworths property, consolidating the site for development potential).

InternationalexpansionWe now have a strong foothold in the UK, and will extend our integrated real estate platform in the year ahead to develop a presence in continental Europe.

In addition to our existing retail and office development experience and expertise, we will focus on adding our residential capability to participate in the development of world-class mixed-use projects across the UK, establishing a recognised brand and reputation.

We will also capitalise on existing joint venture partnerships and a strong investment management platform to source further product and wholesale opportunities.

DurackCentre,WA Durack Centre in Perth was purchased in October 2006 for $49 million and our June 2007 revaluation showed 63 per cent growth to $80 million. We have capitalised on this acquisition in the burgeoning Perth market with plans to develop the back of the site facing the Swan River into additional commercial space. The development will incorporate environmentally sustainable design features to position it as Perth’s first commercial building designed to achieve a 5 star Green Star rating. The project is due to be completed in mid 2008.

AustralianRetirementCommunities(ARC) Our move into the retirement living sector complements our residential communities portfolio. ARC is a solidly performing, well-run business, with 20 established villages across Victoria and Queensland in complementary locations to our existing residential communities.

One of the newest villages in our retirement living portfolio is Cameron Close, located in the sought-after Victorian suburb of Burwood. The retirement village comprises independent living units and serviced apartments, which are 99 per cent occupied, with parts of the property enjoying CBD skyline views.

BaldivisandSettlersHills,WALocated in Perth’s key southern growth corridor, the combination of the Stockland Baldivis retail centre and the Baldivis town centre adjacent to our Settlers Hills residential community is a key example of our ability to capitalise on our diversified business platform, providing a unique mix of lifestyle, retail and social amenity.

The $300 million Settlers Hills masterplanned residential community comprises some 2,500 residential lots, two schools and 18 landscaped parks and gardens. The $46 million Stockland Baldivis and adjoining town centre development provide essential retail and community services to this community, which has become one of Perth’s fastest growing residential areas.

In our commercial and industrial portfolio, we completed the flagship $410 million campus development of the new Optus Centre at Macquarie Park, and there are a number of key projects under construction, including Durack Centre in Perth and Triniti business campus in Sydney’s Macquarie Park as part of our $1.3 billion pipeline.

The residential business commenced a number of key development projects this year, including the Waterside residential community in New South Wales, South Beach in Western Australia and the Allisee apartments project on the Gold Coast.

UrbanrejuvenationOur multi-sector development expertise ensures we can deliver world-class mixed-use projects in key growth areas, particularly at sites like Balgowlah and Tooronga, which require unique capabilities above and beyond traditional development ability.

Our expertise in urban rejuvenation was recognised at the 2007 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) awards for excellence in Western Australia, with our South Beach site remediation and residential community development receiving the award for best urban renewal project in the state.

The recognised experience of the Stockland Halladale team in development and urban rejuvenation in the UK market is a crucial ingredient to the future success of our offshore business.

We are involved in several town centre and urban rejuvenation projects across the UK, including a complete redevelopment of the Billingham town centre in north-east England and a new retail precinct in West Bromwich. We are targeting more mixed-use opportunities in this market as we look to grow our business.

Our range of unlisted property funds continued to outperform forecasts this year, achieving solid capital growth and enhanced investor returns.

Global demand for quality real estate investment options today, both in Australia and internationally, provides the opportunity for us to diversify our sources of capital and develop a wider range of products.

The provision of more diversified capital solutions including unlisted funds, joint ventures, co-investment and other product solutions across a wide stakeholder base will underpin our operations as we continue to grow.

Review of the year – Corporate responsibility and sustainability

Last year we published our inaugural corporate responsibility and sustainability (CR&S) report, outlining our commitment to doing the right thing by all of our stakeholders as a property manager, owner and developer.

Throughout 2007 we have continued to focus our CR&S strategy in four key areas:

•Inthemarketplace with our suppliers, customers, partners and government

•Intheworkplace with our people•Intheenvironment in which we operate,

and beyond•Inthecommunities we create and service

MarketplaceThis year, we focused on driving change in our supply chain through the development of a sustainable supply chain management policy. We are working with the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change sustainability advantage program, which assists in the development strategies for supplier engagement on environmental sustainability.

We have also developed a supplier code of conduct that sets out our prerequisites for doing business, allowing us to work in partnership with suppliers to meet governance, environmental and social principles. We will continue to roll this out and enhance our supply chain engagement over the coming year.

Sustainable asset management at StocklandWetherillPark,NSWOur Wetherill Park shopping centre participated in two major pilot programs run by EcoSave and Energy Conservation Systems, supported by the NSW Government.

The programs aim to improve energy and water consumption by capturing rainwater, using storm water and carrying out educational and awareness programs with retailers and customers. To determine our savings, we’ve carried out monitoring and verification prior to and after the completion of work to record energy and water data. We are now working to implement these initiatives at 19 of our other retail sites across the country.

GivingandvolunteeringwiththeABCNABCN is a group of national business leaders affecting positive social change through programs that engage students, educators and business people.

We also strengthened our involvement in the GOALS mentoring programwithYear9schoolstudentsinSydney and Perth.

WorkplaceOur approach to CR&S is an embedded business imperative driven not only at Board level by our CR&S committee, but at all levels and locations across our business. Underpinning this approach are our formally recognised CR&S objectives outlined in every employee’s objectives.

This year we have focused on establishing an employee giving and volunteering platform and have made significant progress, with the establishment of our employee giving and volunteering committee.

We have also increased our commitment to health and safety in the workplace, striving towards world-class practices. To this end, we created the new role of general manager, health and safety at our Sydney head office.

EnvironmentThis year we participated for the second time in the Carbon Disclosure Project. We are committed to becoming a leader in awareness, innovation and accountability in relation to climate response and carbon management, with the development of our Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP). Our CCAP will establish clear goals, targets and actions to ensure we achieve measurable emissions reductions across all of our businesses.

We recently trialled the Green Building Council’s Green Star shopping centre tool and improved the performance of our commercial office portfolio by implementing initiatives using the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) tools, including the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating scheme. We will continue to work with all levels of government to develop and improve industry tools and to enhance our performance.

CommunityWe strengthened our community engagement across our projects this year, building a more consistent approach to stakeholder management. We have broadened our stakeholder engagement process via our project-based stakeholder management plans and have expanded our involvement in the Australian Business and Community Network (ABCN) to a national scale.

We have been recognised for our community involvement both at a corporate and project level, with our managing director, Matthew Quinn, elected deputy chairman of ABCN in 2007 and our awards for best practice stakeholder engagement at Wallarah Peninsula.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

CoRPoRAte GoveRNANCe (CoNtINUeD)Role of the Board (continued)The Board has delegated responsibility to the Managing Director to manage the business of Stockland and to its various Board committees to deal with specific areas described later. These delegated responsibilities are regularly reviewed and the Managing Director regularly consults with the Board on performance and related matters. Matters which are not specifically delegated to the Managing Director require Board approval, including capital expenditure decisions above delegated levels, expenditure outside the ordinary course of business, major acquisitions and sales, changes to corporate strategy, the issue of securities by Stockland and key risk management and accounting policies.

Role of Stockland trust Management Limited as Responsible entity for Stockland trustStockland Trust Management Limited, as Responsible Entity for Stockland Trust, is responsible for the operation of the Trust. The Responsible Entity must exercise its powers and perform its obligations under the Stockland Trust Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 in the best interests of security holders to ensure that the activities of the Trust are conducted in a proper and efficient manner. The major activities of the Responsible Entity include:

ongoing selection and management of property –investments;management of the Trust’s property portfolio; –maintenance of the accounting and statutory –records of the Trust;management of equity and debt raisings; and –preparation of notices and reports issued to –security holders.

Board processesThe Board currently holds ten scheduled meetings each year. Additional meetings are convened as required. The agenda for each meeting is prepared by the Company Secretary in conjunction with the Chairman and Managing Director and, along with supporting papers, is distributed to directors prior to the meeting. Standing items include the Managing Director’s report, the Finance Director’s report, reports of each Divisional and Functional Executive, together with reports addressing strategic matters, governance and compliance. Senior executives are directly involved in Board discussions and directors have a number

of further opportunities to contact a wider group of employees, including visits to business operations.

Board papers are designed to focus Board attention on current and future issues of importance to Stockland’s operations and performance, including monthly and year-to-date divisional performance against budget. Board papers include minutes of Board committees and subsidiaries which have met since the last Board meeting and papers on material issues requiring consideration. Significant matters are presented to the Board by senior executives. The Board may seek further information on any issue, from any executive.

Director educationStockland has a formal process to inform new directors about the nature of its business, current issues, corporate strategies and its expectations concerning the performance of its directors. Directors also have the opportunity to visit Stockland facilities and to meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations. Directors have the right of access to all Stockland information and executives.

Composition of the BoardAt the date of this report, the Board comprised two executive directors and seven non-executive directors. Directors are listed on pages 26 and 27, with details of their other listed company directorships and prior experience.

Stockland recognises that having a majority of independent directors provides assurance to security holders that the Board is properly fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding management accountable for its performance. The Board has resolved that it should continue to have a majority of non-executive directors, that the Chairman and Managing Director must be separate persons, and that the Chairman should be an independent non-executive director. The Board is comprised of directors with a wide but complementary range of experience and expertise, including some with relevant accounting experience and qualifications, and a good understanding of financial reporting.

Stockland has developed criteria for determining the independence of its Board members. A director is considered to be independent if he or she:

is not a substantial security holder of Stockland or –of a company holding more than 5% of Stockland’s voting securities, or an officer of or directly or indirectly associated with a security holder holding more than 5% of Stockland’s voting securities;

is not an employee of Stockland and has not within –the last three years been employed by Stockland;is not a principal of a material professional –advisor to Stockland. A director who is a principal or employee of a professional advisor will not participate in any consideration of the possible appointment of the professional advisor and will not participate in the provision of any service to Stockland by the professional advisor, unless otherwise resolved by the Board;is not a material supplier or customer of Stockland –or an officer of or directly or indirectly associated with a significant supplier or customer;has no material contractual relationship with –Stockland or any of its associates other than as a director of Stockland;has no other interest or relationship that could –interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of Stockland and independently of management; andhas not served on the Board for a period which –could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of Stockland.

In this context, the Board considers that any director-related business relationship that is or is likely in the future to be more than 10% of the director-related business’s revenue to be material.

All directors are expected to act in the best interests of Stockland.

Stockland is committed to having a Board whose members have the capacity to act independently of management, and have the collective skills necessary to optimise the long-term financial performance of Stockland so as to sustain superior returns to security holders. Having considered carefully the above criteria, the Board has determined that all of Stockland’s non-executive directors are independent directors.

In making this determination, the Board considered the transactions between Stockland and entities with which Stockland directors are associated as directors or advisors set out in Note 48 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Board concluded that none of these transactions made those entities significant suppliers to, or customers of, Stockland when the relative size of the transactions was compared to the total revenues or business of those entities. Further, in none of those transactions did Stockland directors

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

CoRPoRAte GoveRNANCe (CoNtINUeD)Composition of the Board (continued)receive direct financial benefits as principals, partners, or substantial shareholders of the entities concerned.

Also, two members of the Board, Mr Greiner and Mr Corlett, have been directors for more than 10 years. The Board considers that these directors add significant value to the Company since they thoroughly understand Stockland’s businesses and processes, and contribute insightfully to board discussions, strategy and policy. The Board does not believe that their tenure impairs their ability to bring an independent mind and judgement to bear in holding Stockland’s management accountable for its performance.

The only change to the composition of the Board during the year was the retirement of David Fairfull on 24 October 2006. In line with Stockland’s Board renewal programme, Mr Duncan Boyle was appointed as a director on 7 August 2007. Mr Boyle was Chief Executive Officer of Royal & Sun Alliance UK from 2002 to 2005, and prior to that held various CEO and Managing Director roles in the Royal & Sun Alliance group over twenty years. He brings a wealth of financial services and international business experience to complement the expertise of the Stockland Board.

The Board’s policy is that a majority of the members of each Board committee should be independent directors. The Audit and Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee comprise only non-executive directors. The Compliance Committee and the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee are chaired by an independent director and have a majority of independent directors as members.

The Board also has adopted the policy that non-executive directors will meet before each Board meeting in the absence of executive directors and management.

The Constitution of Stockland Corporation Limited (the “Constitution”) provides that:

the maximum number of directors shall be ten; –no director may retain office for more than three –years or until the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment (whichever is the longer), but retiring directors are eligible for reappointment;

directors appointed to fill casual vacancies must –submit to election at the next general meeting; andthe number of directors necessary to constitute a –quorum is not less than two.

The Constitution also enables the directors to appoint a Managing Director, who is not required to retire and be re-elected by members every three years while he or she continues to hold that office. Article 15.7 of the Constitution provides that if the Managing Director ceases to hold the office of director for any reason, he or she immediately ceases to be Managing Director, and if he or she ceases to be the Managing Director he or she immediately ceases to be a director.

terms of appointment and retirement of non-executive directorsThe terms of appointment of a non-executive director are set out in a letter to the director from the Chairman which, among other things, sets out the expectations of the Board in relation to the performance of the director, procedures for dealing with a director’s potential conflicts of interest, and the disclosure obligations of the director, together with the details of director’s remuneration and relevant company policies.

The Constitution provides that a director may enter into an arrangement with Stockland. However, these arrangements are subject to the restrictions and disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, common law directors’ duties and Stockland’s policy on the independence of directors. The indemnity and insurance arrangements for directors are described under “Indemnities and insurance of officers and auditors” on page 56.

Directors are required to keep the Board advised of any interest that may be in conflict with those of Stockland, and restrictions are applied to directors’ rights to participate in discussion and/or to vote, as circumstances dictate. In particular, where a potential conflict of interest may exist, affected directors may be required to leave the Board meeting while the matter is considered in their absence.

Stockland has also entered into a deed of disclosure with each director, ensuring that Stockland can comply with its obligations under the ASX Listing Rules relating to disclosure of changes in directors’ stapled security holdings.

The Board has a policy of enabling directors to seek independent professional advice for Stockland related matters at Stockland’s expense, subject to the prior

agreement of the Chairman that the estimated costs are reasonable. Directors may also communicate directly with Stockland’s own advisors and share advice obtained with other directors. The Board has a policy that all non-executive directors acquire and hold at least 5,000 stapled securities in Stockland within a reasonable time of becoming a director. This policy is intended to align the personal financial interests of directors with those of security holders.

Board committeesFour permanent Board committees have been established to assist in the execution of the Board’s responsibilities as described below. These are the:

Nomination and Remuneration Committee; –Audit and Risk Committee; –Compliance Committee; and –Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability –Committee.

These committees have written charters which are reviewed on a regular basis. All non-executive directors may attend any Board committee meeting. All committees have unfettered access to in-house professional advice and appropriate external advisors where the circumstances require. Committees may meet with external advisors in the absence of management. The minutes of all Board committee meetings are circulated to directors and are reviewed at the next scheduled Board meeting.

Nomination and Remuneration CommitteeThe Nomination and Remuneration Committee meets as frequently as required and during this financial year held five meetings which were attended by all members of the committee. The committee also met informally on a number of occasions. The committee operates under the Board’s delegated authority and supports the Board by overseeing nomination and remuneration activities at Stockland.

The committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on:

Nominationscompetencies necessary to fulfil the duties of a –director at Stockland;the Board’s succession plan; –the Board’s collective performance and the –performance of individual directors;the appointment and removal of non-executive –directors;

Stockland Capital PartnersStockland Capital Partners (previously known as the Unlisted Property Fund business) was established in 2005 to offer high quality property investment opportunities in both retail and wholesale investments, provide new sources of capital, facilitate asset growth and generate additional sustainable income. A wholly owned entity, Stockland Funds Management Limited (“SFML”) operates this business, with a separate board of directors (“SFML Board”). During the year Stockland Capital Partners launched the following trusts for which SFML acts as responsible entity:

Stockland Direct Retail Trust No. 1 which invests –in a portfolio of neighbourhood shopping centres located in New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland; andStockland Direct Office Trust No. 3 which invests –in a diverse portfolio of four commercial office properties and a car park located in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.

On 17 April 2007, following the sale of Stockland’s hotel business, unit holders of the Saville Private Syndicate Trust (“SPST”) unanimously resolved to sell the sole trust property to Saville Brisbane Trust, a Stockland Controlled entity, and to wind up SPST in accordance with its Constitution.

Mr P Scott (Chair) – Non-Executive Director

Ms L Gearing – Non-Executive Director

Mr D Kent – Independent Non-Executive Director

Mr M Quinn – Managing Director

Since Stockland Capital Partners business has dealings with and may acquire assets from Stockland, the SFML Board has two independent non-executive directors who must approve each transaction SFML enters into with Stockland and must be satisfied that it is on arm’s length commercial terms. In order to protect the unit holders in the event there is a dispute or default by Stockland under the terms of any contract, the SFML Board has resolved that the unanimous consent of the two independent directors must be obtained as to any action SFML may take.

With a strong philosophy of co-investment, well defined fund investment strategies and transparent reporting, SFML’s governance is designed to ensure that the investors in its unlisted securities are not disadvantaged by the interests of Stockland.

CoRPoRAte GoveRNANCe (CoNtINUeD)Board and director performance (continued)The assessment process requires each non-executive director to complete a questionnaire relating to the role, composition, procedures, practices and behaviour of the Board and its members. Assessments are confidential, other than to the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman who discuss the results with each director individually. A further discussion is held on the Board’s effectiveness and performance by the Board as a whole. As part of this process, each Board member has the opportunity to raise any matter, suggestion for improvement or criticism with the Chairman.

Directors who will be offering themselves for re-election at the 2007 Annual General Meeting have been reviewed by the Board which has resolved to support their re-election.

Non-executive directors receive a fee for their services and, following a resolution of security holders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting, have the opportunity to take part of their fees in the form of Stockland securities acquired on the ASX in the ordinary course of trading. Non-executive directors are also paid superannuation but receive no other retirement benefits. Refer to the Remuneration Report for further information.

Risk managementoversight of the risk management systemManaging risk is fundamental to the operations of Stockland. The Board and senior executives accept their responsibility to manage these risks through a framework of internal control that includes:

establishing applicable ethical standards; –comprehensive written policies and procedures; –formal delegations of authority to and from the –Managing Director;recruiting skilled, professional staff including a –Chief Risk Officer with a direct reporting line to both the Finance Director and the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee;establishing suitable management reporting and –audit systems to monitor compliance; andhaving in place a suitable disaster recovery plan for –major systems.

The Board oversees the establishment, implementation and annual review of Stockland’s risk management systems, with assistance from the Audit and Risk Committee. Management has established

and implemented an enterprise-wide risk management framework for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing financial, operational, strategic and compliance risk for Stockland.

At the core of this framework is the principle that each Division is accountable for implementing and managing the standards required under the risk management programme. Risks covered by the framework include changes to demand and supply in the property market, occupational health and safety issues, changes in government policy and environmental matters.

Management reports to the Audit and Risk Committee on the status of risk management initiatives and the findings of internal audit reviews. The Audit and Risk Committee regularly reports to the Board on these matters.

Risk profileWhilst the identification, monitoring and reporting of risk occurs continuously throughout the year, an annual risk profile exercise is conducted to re-assess the materiality of individual risks and prioritise activities for the coming year. This exercise covers all Divisions and is performed in accordance with the Australia, New Zealand Risk Management Standard AS/NZS4360.

Assessment of risk management effectivenessThe effectiveness of risk management practices is assessed by the internal audit function and reported to both Executive Management and the Audit and Risk Committee. The annual work programme for the internal audit function is based upon the outcome of the annual risk review and internal control issues identified by both internal and external auditors. The work programme is considered and approved by the Audit and Risk Committee.

Stockland’s Risk Management Policy may be viewed on the Stockland website.

Integrity of financial reportingIn accordance with ASX Guidelines, the Managing Director and the Finance Director have declared in writing to the Board that:

in their opinion, Stockland’s financial records (a)have been properly maintained and the financial reports for the year ended 30 June 2007 present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of Stockland’s financial position and performance and comply with relevant accounting standards, in all material respects; and

to the best of their knowledge and belief:(b) (i) the statements made in (a) above regarding

the integrity of the financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control systems which, in all material respects, implement the policies adopted by the Board;

(ii) the risk management and internal compliance and control systems for the year ended 30 June 2007 were operating effectively, in all material respects, based on the risk management model adopted by Stockland; and

(iii) nothing has come to their attention since 30 June 2007 that would indicate any material change to the statements made in (i) and (ii) above.

Associates and joint ventures, which Stockland does not control, are not covered for the purposes of this statement or declaration given under S295A of the Corporations Act 2001.

These statements provide a reasonable but not absolute level of assurance about risk management, internal compliance and control systems, and do not imply a guarantee against adverse events or more volatile outcomes occurring in the future.

environmental regulationStockland is committed to achieving a high standard of environmental performance. The Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee regularly considers and reports to the Board on issues associated with the environmental impact of Stockland’s operations and, together with management, monitors Stockland’s compliance with relevant statutory requirements as well as published policies and guidelines.

Stockland’s operations are subject to various environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation, particularly in relation to its property development activities. Stockland undertakes an environmental due diligence and risk assessment of all properties it acquires. The Board, with the assistance of the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee, monitors environmental performance by setting objectives, monitoring progress against these objectives and identifying remedial action where required.

Communication to security holders The Board aims to ensure that its security holders are kept well-informed of all major developments and business events that are likely to materially affect Stockland’s operations and financial standing and the market price of its securities. Information is communicated to security holders through:

Annual and Half year Financial Reports lodged –with the ASX and distributed to all security holders;announcements of market-sensitive and other –information, including annual and interim results announcements and analyst presentations released to the ASX;

the Chairman’s and Managing Director’s –addresses to, and the minutes of, the Annual General Meeting; copies of announcements, presentations, past and –current reports to security holders and a five year summary of key financial data made available on the Stockland website; andrelevant announcements lodged with the –Singapore Securities Exchange (“SGX”) following the issue of Notes in Singapore by Stockland Finance Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stockland Corporation Limited.

Stockland has a security holder disclosure policy which includes a formal procedure for dealing with potentially price-sensitive information. The policy sets out how Stockland meets its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.1 (continuous disclosure requirements). Stockland’s policy is to lodge with the ASX and place on its website all market-sensitive information, including annual and interim result announcements and analyst presentations, as soon as practically possible.

Stockland produces two sets of financial information each year: the Half year Financial Report for the six months ended 31 December and the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June. Both are made available to security holders and other interested parties.

Security holders have the right to attend Stockland’s Annual General Meeting, usually held towards the end of October each year, and are provided with an explanatory memorandum on the resolutions proposed through the Notice of Meeting. A copy of the Notice of Meeting is also posted on the Stockland website and lodged with the ASX. Security holders are encouraged to vote on all resolutions. Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Notice of Meeting, all stapled security holders are eligible to vote on all resolutions. Security holders who cannot attend the Annual General Meeting may lodge a proxy in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. Proxy forms may be lodged by facsimile or electronically. Stockland’s external auditor attends the Annual General Meeting to answer questions from security holders concerning the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, accounting policies adopted by Stockland and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

While Stockland does not web cast its Annual General Meeting proceedings, transcripts of the Chairman’s and Managing Director’s Reports to security holders are released to the ASX upon the commencement of the Annual General Meeting. These transcripts, together with the minutes of the Annual General Meeting, are also posted on Stockland’s website.

Staff and director trading in Stockland securitiesStockland directors and executives may only trade in Stockland securities during nominated trading windows which are typically of four weeks duration following the announcements of Stockland’s half-yearly and full year results and after the Annual General Meeting. At other times, directors may trade only with the consent of two non-executive directors, one of which must be the Chairman or Deputy Chairman. Senior executives who wish to trade outside nominated trading windows may do so after first obtaining the consent of the Chairman and the Managing Director. Notwithstanding those designated windows and approval requirements, a person is prohibited from trading if they possess material, price-sensitive information about Stockland that is not generally available to the public.

Directors and employees may subscribe for securities in any offering in an unlisted property fund promoted by Stockland. Applications by directors and employees for such securities are on the same terms as applied to other investors. Directors and employees are prohibited from trading in unlisted property fund securities while they possess material, non-public, price-sensitive information.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)A Non-executive director remunerationThe Board is responsible for determining the fees for non-executive directors. Decisions are based on recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“the Committee”), taking into account advice from independent external remuneration advisors. The fees are set within an aggregate maximum pool approved by security holders at an Annual General Meeting. At the 2005 Annual General Meeting, security holders approved a pool of $1,900,000 per annum. For the 2007 financial year, $1,521,040 (80%) of the fee pool was utilised (2006: $1,493,951 (79%)).

Board fees and committee fees are reviewed annually taking into account:

the responsibilities of non-executive directors and the Board committees; –the size and complexity of Stockland; and –the need to attract and retain well qualified non-executive directors. –

The schedule of fees, excluding superannuation, for the Board and Board committees were as follows:

BOARD POSITION FEES 2007 FEES 2006

Chairman1 $341,250 $325,000Deputy Chairman $204,750 $195,000Non-executive director $136,500 $130,000BOARD COMMITTEE CHAIR MEMBER CHAIR MEMBER

Audit and Risk $31,500 $15,750 $30,000 $15,000Compliance $26,250 $15,750 $20,000 –Nomination and Remuneration $12,600 $8,400 $12,000 $8,000Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability –1 $8,400 $12,000 $8,000STOCKLAND FUNDS MANAGEMENT LIMITED BOARD FEES 2007 FEES 2006

Chairman $42,000 $40,000Non-executive director $42,000 $40,000Independent2 Non-executive director $75,000 $40,000

1 The Chairman does not receive any committee fees. However, Mr Bradley received fees of $15,762 as a director of Stockland Funds Management Limited until his retirement from the Board of that company on 22 November 2005. The Chairman is also Chairman of the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Committee.

2 Independent non-executive directors of Stockland Funds Management Limited are those who are not also on the Stockland Board.

Stockland does not operate a retirement scheme for non-executive directors. However superannuation contributions are paid by Stockland into a complying superannuation fund at the rate of 9% of the above fees.

Non-executive directors do not participate in any incentive plans. No bonuses, non-monetary benefits, long service leave or share-based payments were made to non-executive directors during either year, and no portion of the remuneration paid was performance related.

Non-executive Director Security Acquisition PlanStockland’s directors consider it good governance for directors to own Stockland securities. Approval was given at the Annual General Meeting on 24 October 2006 for a non-executive director Security Acquisition Plan (“SAP”) to facilitate and encourage non-executive directors to acquire Stockland securities through a fee sacrifice arrangement. The SAP operates under the following terms:

eligibility All non-executive directors on a voluntary basis.Disposal Restrictions The earlier of ten years from the date of acquisition and the retirement of the non-executive director from the Board.Source of securities All securities will be acquired on-market.Performance Conditions Not appropriate as securities are in lieu of fees sacrificed.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)B Remuneration frameworkPhilosophyStockland’s remuneration philosophy is designed to reflect Stockland’s need to attract talent and retain employees whose contribution is critical to the achievement of the continued growth and success of Stockland.

The remuneration framework is based on the following core principles:

remuneration is performance focused, with –incentives based on financial and non-financial targets that link to the overall business plan and support the creation of long-term security holder value;reward outcomes are linked to the performance of –the individual executive, the performance of the executive’s business unit and/or division and the performance of Stockland;the quantum of remuneration and its components –should place Stockland in a strong position to secure the services of executives of the calibre required to provide good long-term returns to security holders; andto ensure executive performance and security –holders’ interests are aligned by ensuring that a portion of executive reward is equity-based and dependent on Stockland’s returns to security holders.

The framework is applied consistently across Stockland and any decisions in relation to executive reward are based on it, including those relating to executive directors. The Stockland remuneration framework is regularly reviewed via a continuous improvement process and is designed to be appropriate and competitive in each business location, having regard to local practice. Stockland recognises the need to take account of differing costs of living especially in relation to expatriates when determining remuneration.

Performance management and measurementThe Board believes effective performance management is critical to the integrity of the remuneration philosophy. The Board considers Stockland has a rigorous performance management system that ensures executives understand what is expected of them, how they can achieve their objectives and the impact of their performance on their reward. Objective setting, performance

measurement and remuneration recommendations all follow a two tier approach, with the Committee and Board approving those of the Managing Director; the Committee and Managing Director approving those for the Managing Director’s direct reports, the Managing Director and his direct reports approving those for their direct reports and so forth. Common objectives reinforce cross divisional collaboration which the Directors believe is pivotal to sustained long-term growth and security holder returns.

A balanced scorecard approach is used, with objectives linked to four elements:

Business/financial results – – group, divisional and business unit performance, using measures such as profitability and return on funds employed.Stakeholder management – – achieving and maintaining effective stakeholder relationships such as with investors and customers.People – – the engagement and leadership of employees.Corporate responsibility and sustainability – – contribution to Stockland’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Strategy, including Health Safety and Environment.

The Managing Director has additional key performance indicators (“KPIs”) related to the development and execution of group strategy.

Performance is reviewed informally on a regular basis. At the completion of the financial year, each executive’s performance is formally reviewed by his or her manager. The outcomes of the performance review are then used as input to determining an executive’s remuneration.

The Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) programme includes performance hurdles relating to growth in Earnings Per Security (“EPS”) and Total Security Holder Return (“TSR”).

The EPS measure used for the LTI is basic EPS adjusted for certain significant items being net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties (including share of associates and joint ventures and excluding revaluation upon completion of newly constructed retirement living communities and fair value movement of deferred management fee contracts), retirement living resident obligation fair value movement, net gain from sale of the hotel business, tax on gain from sale of the hotel business, net gain/(loss) on sale of investment properties, net gain from financial instruments treated as fair

value hedges, net realised gain on other financial instruments, net unrealised gain on other financial instruments, net realised and unrealised foreign exchange gain/(loss) and security holders’ costs. These significant items are set out on page 35 of this Report. The Board considers that this reflects the true operating performance of the group.

EPS is used as it is a key indicator of Stockland’s financial performance and long-term security holder wealth creation. The target is the sum of annual growth targets, each set to reflect the Board’s performance expectations for the coming year, taking into account prevailing market conditions and outlook. The Board believes this approach is better aligned to security holders’ interests than setting a three year target which may become unreasonably high or low as market conditions change over the three year period. Due to their commercial sensitivity, the annual EPS targets and the extent to which the targets have been achieved are disclosed retrospectively.

TSR is a market accepted relative measure and the Board considers this to be a fair reflection of the overall wealth created for investors. The LTI plan measures TSR relative to the ASX 200 Property Trust Accumulation Index (excluding Stockland in the case of the Performance Rights Plan). Both Stockland’s and the Index’s TSRs are calculated by an independent third-party. The Board has final accountability for the determination of performance relative to targets, independently from management.

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)B Remuneration framework (continued)Fixed payFixed Pay is aligned to the market and is based on remuneration information sourced from independent external remuneration advisors.

An executive’s Fixed Pay is comprised of a base salary and superannuation contributions in line with Stockland’s obligations under the Superannuation Guarantee Charge (“SGC”) legislation. All employees are able to select a fund of their choice, including an employer fund administered via an external master trust. Stockland has no defined benefit superannuation plans.

Executives may choose to salary package various items, such as motor vehicles, car parking, additional superannuation contributions or other benefits provided by Stockland from time to time such as the Childcare facility being developed for our new Head Office location. To ensure there is no additional impost on Stockland, the cost of any benefit and applicable Fringe Benefits Tax (“FBT”) is deducted from an executive’s base salary.

There are no guaranteed increases in fixed remuneration in executive service contracts.

Short term IncentivesAll employees have the opportunity to earn a Short Term Incentive, which is paid in cash after the close of the financial year. The quantum of incentives is dependent on the employee’s role and level within the organisation, with higher levels of “at risk” remuneration the more senior the executive.

The actual STI earned is based on performance against the four elements of a balanced scorecard: Financial, Stakeholder, People Management and Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, as described in “Performance Management and Measurement”. These four scorecard elements are chosen to reflect key business drivers. Metrics used for an individual are created with specific reference to the level and role of that individual. KPIs are not disclosed as they are commercially sensitive.

Performance is assessed by an individual’s manager, within the two tier approval process described earlier. In the case of financial hurdles, it is formula driven (110% of target results in payment of 110% of that portion of STI, capped at 200%). For other elements of the Scorecard there is management discretion to increase or decrease STI payments after considering matters such as demonstration of Stockland values and behaviours. The Board believes stretch targets and Stockland’s high performance culture generated results in the range 50% to 150% of target in the last two financial years, but the structure enables a range from 0% to 200% in exceptional circumstances. A minimum performance threshold of 50% of target must be achieved before any STI is payable. Generally executives must be employed for at least three months of the financial year and remain employed at the end of the financial year to receive an STI payment.

Long term IncentivesExecutives (and others at the Board’s discretion) are invited to participate in the Performance Rights Plan (“PRP”). Other employees are eligible, after a qualifying period, to participate in a $1,000 tax exempt employee security plan (discussed below). These plans are designed to align the interests of employees with those of security holders in creating sustainable long-term growth in security holder value. In addition, the PRP acts as a retention mechanism for executives, with award deferred until three years from grant date. Executives must not deal in an option over Stockland securities whether held in equity plans or otherwise acquired.

Performance Rights PlanThe PRP was approved by shareholders in October 2006. The first allocation was made to the Managing Director, the Finance Director, and the CEO of Retail (who joined Stockland in October 2006) in April 2007, with a grant date of October 2006, following changes to the tax legislation which were contemplated but not yet enacted at the time of approval by security holders. The plan will be extended to other participants in August 2007. Eligibility is by invitation of the Board and is reviewed annually. Participants of the PRP are prohibited from receiving grants under any other Stockland employee security plan in the same financial year.

As with the STI, the target PRP quantum is set as a percentage of an executive’s fixed remuneration, with specific reference to the role and in accordance with the remuneration framework. The PRP provides for equity grants under the following terms:

Structure of grant Performance rights – right to acquire Stockland securities at nil cost to participants when certain performance conditions are met. Each grant will comprise two equal tranches, each of which vest based on separate performance hurdles (being EPS and TSR).

Measurement Period Three financial years – from 1 July in the financial year of grant to 30 June three years later.Re-testing No re-testing of performance: to the extent targets are not achieved, rights lapse except at the discretion of the Board.

Service Condition If a participant resigns from Stockland prior to the end of the vesting period, the rights lapse, unless the Board exercises its discretion to allow vesting in certain circumstances.F

Disposal restrictions and expiry date

Following vesting, the appropriate proportion of performance rights is exercised at nil cost to Plan participants to acquire securities. The securities are subject to disposal conditions until the expiry date, up to seven years after vesting (ten years from the date the performance rights were originally granted).

Source of securities for satisfaction of performance rights exercised

Stockland reserves the right to review the most appropriate source of securities at the time of vesting. This may be via purchase on market or via newly issued securities.

Issue price The volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of securities at 30 June prior to allocation determines the number of securities to be allocated.

Accounting expense The fair value is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, being the period during which the securities are subject to performance and service conditions. The fair value is determined as at the grant date.

The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value for grants during the year:

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)B Remuneration framework (continued)Long term Incentives (continued)Tax Exempt Employee Security PlanThe new $1,000 tax exempt plan (“$1,000 plan”) was approved by shareholders in October 2006. Under the $1,000 plan eligible employees may be granted, at nil cost to the employee, Stockland securities to a maximum value of $1,000. Offers are approved by the Board dependent upon the performance of Stockland over the previous twelve months. Offers will be made in August each year, concurrent with the PRP. Such offers recognise the contribution of employees to Stockland’s performance and provide a link to growth in long-term security holder value.

The revised plan meets the requirements of the tax legislation in that it includes a holding lock of three years if the employee remains with Stockland and no forfeiture provisions (participants keep the securities and the holding lock lifts when they leave). The prior plan, approved in 2002, had a lock of only one year, and Stockland was required to pay FBT on the securities issued to employees.

Following finalisation of the changes in the tax legislation, the first offer under the $1,000 plan was made in April 2007, along with a cash top-up to reflect the reward participants would have achieved if the grant had been made in August 2006.

C Legacy security plansThe following provides an overview of the operation of the prior plans because they form part of ongoing remuneration with the fair value of grants expensed over vesting periods until August 2009. The Incentive Security Plan (“ISP”) and the Executive Securities Scheme (“ESS”) both operated on the basis of limited recourse loans to participants for a maximum term of five years, provided by Stockland. Final grants under ISP and ESS were made in August 2006, and no new grants are contemplated under either plan in future.

Under AASB 2 “Share-based payment”, these securities are treated as options for accounting purposes. The fair value is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, being the period during which the securities are subject to performance and service conditions. The exercise period spans from the vesting date to the end of the five year loan period.

The following assumptions are used in determining the fair values for securities granted under these plans:

Valuation methodology Monte Carlo Simulation Black Scholes1 The volatility is based on the historic volatility of the security adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.2 Represents the estimated correlation of Stockland’s TSR and the TSR of the ASX 200 Property Trust Accumulation Index. 3 Participants transitioned from a two year vesting arrangement under the ESS to a three year vesting under ISP. A transitional ISP grant was made to participants to provide continuity of vesting during the transition period.

This additional grant is referred to as the “transitional grant” in this report.

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)C Legacy security plans (continued)Incentive Share Plan Under the ISP the loan is interest free. After tax dividends and distributions paid on securities subject to the ISP are applied against the loan balance. The ISP operates under the following terms:

Structure of grant Limited recourse interest free loan.

A portion of the loan may be waived if certain performance conditions are met. The two measurements (EPS and TSR) have equal weighting for the loan waiver, having regard to the vesting scales below, retaining Board discretion.

Service period

Required for vestingThree financial years.

18 August 2005 and 26 October 2005 transitional tranche: Two and a half years (to 31 December 2007).

(The maximum period for the loan is five years.)

If a participant resigns from Stockland prior to the end of the vesting period, the securities are forfeited, unless the Board exercises its discretion to allow vesting in certain circumstances.

Measurement period Three financial years – from 1 July in the financial year of issue to 30 June three years later. 18 August 2005 and 26 October 2005 transitional tranche: Two financial years 23 November 2004: One financial year.

Re-testing No re-testing of performance – to the extent targets are not achieved, portion of loan is not waived unless the Board exercises its discretion to do so.

ePS vesting

Target being the sum of annual EPS targets over the measurement period

ePS growth ePS related proportion vestingLess than target 0%Equal to target 50%Up to 5 percentage points greater than target Straight line between 50% and 100%5 percentage points or more greater than target 100%

tSR vesting

Target being ASX S&P 200 Property Trust Accumulation Index over the measurement period

tSR growth tSR related proportion vestingLess than or equal to target 0%Greater than target 50%Up to 10 percentage points greater than target Straight line between 50% and 100%10 percentage points or more greater than target 100%

outperformance For the 18 August 2005 and 26 October 2005 grants, the loan waivers are capped at 200% for executives and the original loan balance for executive directors. If the loan waiver from the two hurdles combined exceeds the loan balance, the excess is applied to any other ISP loan, except for Executive Directors where the loan waivers were capped at the original loan balance. If there is no other ISP loan the excess is forfeited.

Source of securities for ISP

Securities are met via newly issued securities. These securities are not recognised in share capital until the loan is extinguished.

Issue price The issue price was based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) at which stapled securities are traded on the ASX during the five trading days up to and including the last trading day before the date of issue.F

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)C Legacy security plans (continued)Incentive Share Plan (continued)Transitional tranche (granted 2005)The transitional ISP tranche will vest on 31 December 2007, with performance measured over the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2007. The aggregate EPS growth of 12.2% compared to the aggregate target EPS growth of 10.2%. Stockland’s TSR of 65.6% compared to the Index TSR of 48.6%. In line with the vesting schedule in the above table, the Board approved waiver of the maximum 200% of the original loan balance (from which FBT is deducted). For executive directors, this award is subject to a cap limiting the net of tax waiver to the amount of the original loan balance. For other participants, any loan waiver in excess of the original loan value may be applied to other ISP loans.

October 2004 ISPFor the first ISP grant, the service vesting occurred on 30 June 2007. The performance was measured over the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005. For that period the EPS target of 39.5 cents was achieved, actual EPS was 39.8 cents. For the same period, Stockland’s TSR of 13.9% compared to the Index TSR of 18.1%. However, this reflected extraneous market movements around the measurement date, much of which corrected in the month following measurement. If either the EPS or TSR hurdles are achieved, a further loan waiver may be granted, reflecting the VWAP movement from 30 June to date of issue. The Board exercised its discretion to grant the TSR Award in part, granting a total award of 87.5% of the 2004 awards, along with the 65c per security issue price adjustment. The cost of FBT is deducted from these awards. The combinations of awards, FBT offset and dividends/distributions over the lifetime of the award, has so far resulted in a net loan waiver of $3.67 per security being 61% of the $5.97 issue price for executive directors, and 63% of the $5.79 issue price for other participants. Future dividends/distributions to 30 June 2009 will further reduce the loan balance.

executive Securities SchemeUnder the Executive Securities Scheme (“ESS”), participants were invited to acquire securities at a discount to the market price equivalent to the discount that applies to the Stockland Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”). Interest charged is equivalent to the dividends and distributions received annually on the securities. After a two years service period, from the date of issue, these securities vest fully with the participants. If a participant leaves prior to vesting, the securities are forfeited. This plan has not applied to KMP since the ISP was introduced in 2004.

Mr Pitman does not hold any securities under Stockland share plans.1 Proportion vesting reflects the meeting of service conditions. As at 30 June 2007 62% of the original loan on the 23 November 2004 grant had been waived. 2 Vesting date refers to the date at which the performance and service conditions are met. The securities may remain in the plan until the 5th anniversary of the grant date with trading restrictions until the loan is repaid.3 Mr Macnicol left Stockland in March 2007. In recognition of his achievements at Stockland, the Board exercised its discretion to allow vesting of Mr Macnicol’s 2004 ISP award on 30 June 2007, to the extent of achievement

of performance conditions in line with vesting for all other participants on 30 June 2007.

No awards were forfeited due to failure to meet performance conditions. The minimum future value of these ISP/ESS securities is nil as future performance and service criteria may not be met.

Loans in respect of Long term Incentives repaid during the yearDuring the year, the following KMP sold LTI securities and/or repaid loans in respect of LTI securities granted as remuneration in previous years. The associated LTI securities are now issued capital and not considered as in substance options for accounting purposes under AASB 2 “Share-based payment”. There are no loan amounts remaining unpaid in respect of these securities.

1 Exercising of the security occurs when the loan associated with the ISP/ESS securities is repaid, either through the sale of securities or in cash by the individual, or when repayment of the loan is waived under the terms of the ISP. The value shown in the table represents the difference between the value of the loan repaid and the market value of the securities on the date of repayment.

2 The only forfeitures relate to failure to meet service conditions by those leaving Stockland, and comprise all non-vested ISP securities except in relation to Mr Macnicol. Mr Macnicol left Stockland in March 2007. In recognition of his achievements at Stockland, the Board exercised its discretion to allow vesting of Mr Macnicol’s 2004 ISP award, to the extent of achievement of performance conditions in line with vesting for all other participants on 30 June 2007.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

ReMUNeRAtIoN RePoRt (CoNtINUeD)e Additional information Additional benefitsUnder the remuneration framework, Fixed Pay comprises monetary and non-monetary amounts. Non-monetary comprises salary sacrificed amounts, e.g. in relation to motor vehicle, car parking, superannuation, other specified benefits and applicable FBT. As required by AASB 124, superannuation is identified separately. The monetary amount of Fixed Pay is denoted “Salary” in “Executive Directors’ and Senior Executives’ Remuneration”.

Non-monetary amounts also include interest-free housing loans where relocation for work at Stockland has been required. The loans were advanced by a wholly owned subsidiary of Stockland and are secured by unregistered mortgage over residential property. Commercial interest rates apply should the executive no longer be an employee of Stockland, and the loan matures within 180 days of ceasing employment with Stockland. The value of these loans as remuneration represents the fair value of interest that would otherwise be payable (together with any related FBT). Mr M Quinn has an interest-free loan of $159,000 maturing on 20 August 2009. Mr D Hickey has an interest-free loan of $300,000 repayable on 8 November 2012.

Mr D Steinberg had an interest-free loan of $300,000 which was repaid in November 2006 on his ceasing employment with Stockland.

All employees, including executives, are entitled to discounts of up to 4% on the purchase of Stockland properties held for sale. These discounts approximately represent the savings in agent’s commissions and sales and marketing costs. Such discounts are not included in remuneration as there is no net cost to Stockland.

Prior to the disposal of the Saville Group on 31 January 2007, discounts were offered to all Stockland staff on accommodation at Saville hotels. The availability of discounts was dependent on occupancy levels. Such discounts are not included in remuneration as there was no net cost to Stockland.

The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date is measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the balance date is measured as the present value of expected payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Insurance premiumsInsurance contracts in respect of Directors’ and Officers Liability, Fidelity and Professional Indemnity prohibit the disclosure of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the contract. No part of the premium has been included in the details of remuneration for directors and executives.

employment arrangementsThere are no fixed terms in the contracts of Stockland’s KMP. The notice periods are shown below, with potential payment in lieu of notice by Stockland. Where the termination occurs as a result of misconduct or serious or persistent breach of agreement, no notice is required. In the event that Stockland initiates the termination for reasons which are outside the control of the individual, severance payments are payable.

Total severance payments (including payment in lieu of notice), are the following percentage of the annual rate of Fixed Pay plus STI:

INDeMNItIeS AND INSURANCe oF oFFICeRS AND AUDItoRSSince the end of the previous financial year Stockland has not indemnified or agreed to indemnify any person who is or has been an officer or an auditor of Stockland against any liability.

Since the end of the previous financial year, Stockland has paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance contracts, for directors, executive directors, company secretaries and officers. Such insurance contracts insure against certain liabilities (subject to specified exclusions) for persons who are or have been directors and officers of Stockland.

Premiums are also paid for Fidelity insurance and Professional Indemnity insurance policies to cover certain risks for a broad range of employees, including directors and executives.

NoN-AUDIt SeRvICeSDuring the year Stockland’s auditor, KPMG, provided certain other services to Stockland in addition to its statutory duties as auditor.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those services is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

the non-audit services were for taxation, –regulatory and assurance related work closely linked to the Group’s audit, and none of this work created any conflicts with the auditor’s statutory responsibilities; the Audit and Risk Committee resolved that the –provision of non-audit services during the year by KPMG as auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001; the Board’s own review conducted in conjunction –with the Audit and Risk Committee, having regard to the Board policy set out in this report, concluded that it is satisfied the non-audit services did not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; andthe declaration of independence provided by –KPMG, as auditor of Stockland.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of Stockland, KPMG, and its related practices and to other auditors for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 8 of the accompanying Financial Statements.

Security holders’ finance costs represents trust

distributions payable for the period 1 July 2005 to 25 october 2005, being the date of the annual General meeting. For the period, 1 July 2005 to 25 october 2005, aaSBs required Stockland Trust unit holders’ issued capital to be treated as a liability and trust distributions payable to be treated as a finance cost in the Income Statement. at the annual General meeting, Stockland Trust unit holders agreed to amend the Stockland Trust Constitution, which meant the unit holders’ issued capital from that date would be treated as equity in accordance with accounting standard aaSB 132 “Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation”.

4 There is no effect on the income tax expense associated with security holders’ finance costs as this amount represents Trust undistributed income available for distribution recognised during the period when Trust unit holders’ issued capital was classified as a liability under aaSB 132.

The above Income Statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

The Financial Report of Stockland as at and for the year ended 30 June 2007 comprises the consolidated Financial Report of Stockland Corporation Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities including the Trust, which form the consolidated entity (“Stockland” or “consolidated entity”).

This Financial Report has been prepared based upon a business combination of the parent entity, the Company, and Stockland Trust and their controlled entities, in accordance with australian Interpretation (“aI”) 1013 “Consolidated Financial Reports in relation to pre-date-of-Transition Stapling arrangements”.

The Financial Report was authorised for issue by the directors on 8 august 2007.

(a) Statement of complianceThe Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with australian accounting Standards (“aaSBs”) (including australian Interpretations) adopted by the australian accounting Standards Board (“aaSB”) and the Corporations act 2001. The Financial Report also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”).

(b) New accounting standardsCertain new accounting standards have been published that are not mandatory for this reporting period. Stockland’s assessment of the impact of these new standards is set out below.

aaSB 7 “Financial Instruments: disclosures” replaces the presentation requirements of financial instruments in aaSB 132 “Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation”. aaSB 2005-10 “amendments to australian accounting Standards” makes consequential amendments to aaSB 132, aaSB 101 “presentation of Financial Statements”, aaSB 114 “Segment Reporting”, aaSB 117 “Leases”, aaSB 133 “earnings per Share”, aaSB 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement”, aaSB 1 “First-time adoption of australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards”, aaSB 4 “Insurance Contracts”, aaSB 1023 “General Insurance Contracts” and aaSB 1038 “Life Insurance Contracts”.

aaSB 7 and aaSB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. Stockland has not adopted these standards early. application of these standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to Stockland’s financial instruments.

aaSB 8 “operating Segments” and aaSB 2007-3 “amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from aaSB 8” make amendments to aaSB 5 “non-current assets Held for Sale and discontinued operations”, aaSB 6 “exploration for and evaluation of mineral Resources”, aaSB 102 “Inventories”, aaSB 107 “Cash Flow Statements”, aaSB 119 “employee Benefits”, aaSB 127 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, aaSB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting”, aaSB 136 “Impairment assets”, aaSB 1023 and aaSB 1038.

aaSB 8 and aaSB 2007-3 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Stockland has not adopted these standards early. application of these standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to Stockland’s segment reporting.

aaSB 2007-4 “amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from ed 151 and other amendments” is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007. Stockland has not adopted this standard early. application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but may impact the level of disclosure.

(c) Basis of preparationThe Financial Report is presented in australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the consolidated entity.

The Financial Report has been prepared on the basis of the going concern and historical cost conventions except for:

investment properties (including retirement living –assets), derivative financial instruments, certain financial assets and liabilities which are stated at their fair value; andnon-current assets classified as held for sale –which are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Stockland is an entity of the kind referred to in aSIC Class order 98/100 (as amended) and in accordance with that Class order, amounts in the Financial Report have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. actual results may differ from these estimates. estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Refer to note 2 for significant areas of estimation.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the consolidated entity for the purposes of this consolidated Financial Report.

In the prior financial year the consolidated entity adopted aaSB 132 and aaSB 139 in accordance with the transitional rules of aaSB 1. This change has been accounted for by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings and reserves at 1 July 2005, as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in equity.

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this Financial Report are:

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(d) Basis of consolidationThis Financial Report has been prepared based upon a business combination of the parent entity, the Company, and Stockland Trust and their controlled entities, in accordance with aI 1013 “Consolidated Financial Reports in relation to pre-date-of-Transition Stapling arrangements”.

Controlled entities are entities controlled by either Stockland Corporation Limited or Stockland Trust. Control exists when the entity has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account.

The Financial Statements of controlled entities are included in the consolidated Financial Report from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

any balances, unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full within Stockland.

(e) investments Controlled entitiesInvestments in controlled entities are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Company’s Financial Statements.

Associatesassociates are those entities over which Stockland has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated Financial Report includes Stockland’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. If Stockland’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, Stockland’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that Stockland has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Joint venture entitiesa joint venture is either an entity or operation over whose activities Stockland has joint control, established by contractual agreement. Investments in joint venture entities are accounted for using equity accounting principles. Investments in joint venture entities are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and the recoverable amount.

Stockland’s share of the joint venture entity’s net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated Income Statement from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases. other movements in reserves are recognised directly in reserves.

Joint venture operationsStockland’s interests in unincorporated joint ventures are brought to account by recognising its proportionate share of joint venture operations’ assets, liabilities and expenses and Stockland’s revenue from the sale of its share of goods or services on a line-by-line basis, from the date joint control commences to the date joint control ceases.

other investmentsInvestments in other entities which do not qualify as associates, joint ventures or joint venture entities are classified as financial assets available for sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the financial asset revaluation reserve.

Transactions eliminated on consolidationany balances, unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from transactions with joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of Stockland’s interest.

unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of Stockland’s interest in the entity with adjustments made to the “Investment accounted for using the equity method” and “Share of profits of investments accounted for using the equity method” accounts.

unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed by the associates or jointly controlled entities or, if not, consumed or sold by the associate or jointly controlled entity, when Stockland’s interest in such entities is disposed of.

(f) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”) levied.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

Property development salesRevenue from residential land sales and property development sales is recognised in the Income Statement upon settlement and after contractual duties are completed.

Revenue from property development services rendered is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at balance date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

no revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, the costs incurred or to be incurred cannot be measured reliably, there is a risk of return or there is continuing management involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership.

Rent from investment propertiesRent from investment properties is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent not received at balance date is reflected in the Balance Sheet as a receivable or if paid in advance, as rents in advance. Lease incentives granted are recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rent.

hotel operations Revenue from hotel operations is recognised in the Income Statement in proportion to the stage of services provided at balance date. The stage of services provided is assessed by reference to the work performed.

Dividends and distributionsRevenue from dividends and distributions from controlled entities and other investments are recognised in the Income Statement on the date the entity’s right to receive payment is established, being the date when they are declared by those entities.

dividends and distributions received out of pre-acquisition reserves are eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment and not recognised in revenue.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(f) Revenue recognition (continued)interest incomeInterest income is recognised in the Income Statement as it accrues using the effective interest method and if not received at balance date, is reflected in the Balance Sheet as a receivable.

(g) operating leasespayments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(h) Segment reportinga segment is a distinguishable component of Stockland that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

Stockland’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.

(i) goods and services taxRevenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST or overseas equivalent, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Balance Sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(j) income taxStockland Corporation limitedIncome tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense/benefit is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted

or substantially enacted at the balance date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. deferred tax provided is based upon the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at balance date.

a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

additional income taxes that may arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

The united Kingdom operations of controlled entities of Stockland Corporation Limited are subject to united Kingdom tax on their taxable earnings.

Tax consolidationThe Company entered into tax consolidation from 1 July 2003. Stockland Corporation Limited, as the head entity, recognises all current tax balances relating to wholly-owned entities included in the Tax Consolidated Group (“TCG”).

The current and deferred tax amounts for the TCG are allocated among the entities in the TCG using a form of the group allocation approach whereby each entity is allocated current and deferred taxes in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles of aaSB 112 “Income Taxes”, based on the underlying effect of transactions with those subsidiaries.

deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to temporary differences are measured by reference to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in the TCG member’s balance sheet and their tax values applying under tax consolidation. any fair value adjustments on accounting consolidation are included in the TCG’s tax calculation.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits and other tax attributes assumed from subsidiaries of the TCG to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits of the TCG will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

Nature of tax funding and sharing arrangementsStockland, in conjunction with other members of the TCG, has entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the TCG in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangement requires that payments to or from the Company shall equal any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses or tax credits or other tax attributes assumed by the Company at the then recognised amount, and generally will not require any further payments to or from the Company should the recognised amount subsequently change, except for changes by way of correction.

any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses or tax credits or other tax attributes assumed from subsidiaries are recognised by the Company only and do not result in further amounts being payable or receivable under the tax funding arrangement.

Where there is an amendment of a prior year tax return of the Company and/or recalculation of the stand alone tax calculation of a TCG member and/or adjustment to the disclosed tax losses or other tax attributes not requiring an amendment to the tax return, the change in tax liabilities or assets should be allocated on a systematic and rational basis between the TCG members, based on the principles that each member should be allocated current and deferred taxes in a systematic manner based on the underlying tax effect of transactions within those subsidiaries.

The tax liabilities of the entities included in the TCG will be governed by the tax sharing agreement should the Company default on its tax obligations.

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(j) income tax (continued)Stockland Trustunder current australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax, provided that the taxable income (including any assessable component of any capital gains from the sale of investment assets) is fully distributed to unit holders each year. Tax allowances for building and plant and equipment depreciation are distributed to unit holders in the form of tax deferred components of distributions.

The new Zealand operations of Stockland Trust are subject to new Zealand tax on their taxable earnings.

(k) foreign currencyTransactionsForeign currency transactions are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at reporting dates are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Income Statement.

non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the date the fair value was determined.

Translation of financial reports of foreign operationsThe assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated to australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of transactions. equity items are translated at historical rates.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised directly in the foreign currency translation reserve, a separate component of equity.

exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of related hedges, are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released into the Income Statement upon disposal.

(l) Derivative financial instrumentsStockland holds derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures arising from operational, financing and investment activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, Stockland does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised in the Income Statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. Refer note 1(m).

The fair value of interest rate derivatives is the estimated amount that Stockland would receive or pay to terminate the swap or swaption at balance date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap or swaption counterparties.

The fair value of cross currency interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that Stockland would receive or pay to terminate the swap at balance date, taking into account current interest and exchange rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at balance date, being the present value of the quoted forward price.

(m) hedgingStockland formally designates and documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items at the inception of the transaction, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Stockland also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

fair value hedgea fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of an asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect the Income Statement.

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

Cash flow hedgea 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 the Income Statement.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

amounts in the hedging reserve are recognised in the Income Statement in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in the Income Statement.

When the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously in the hedging reserve are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. any cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the Income Statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognised in equity is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

hedge of net investment in foreign operationThe portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(n) financing income and expensesnet financing costs include interest payable on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income net of interest receipts, payments on derivatives and gains and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in the Income Statement and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings.

Financing costs are expensed as incurred except to the extent that they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to reach the stage of their intended use or sale.

In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the cost of the assets until the assets are ready for their intended use or sale. Total interest capitalised within Stockland must not exceed the net interest expense of Stockland in any period, and project carrying values, including all capitalised interest attributable to projects, must continue to be recoverable based on the latest project feasibilities. In the event that development is suspended for an extended period of time, the capitalisation of borrowing costs is also suspended. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is the actual borrowing cost incurred on that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate applied to the expenditures on the asset excluding specific borrowings.

(o) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and at call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of Stockland’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(p) Trade receivables Trade debtors are carried at cost less impairment losses. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis and at balance date specific impairment losses are recorded for any doubtful accounts.

(q) Non-current assets held for saleImmediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable accounting standards. upon initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (except for investment properties which are held at fair value).

Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in the Income Statement, even when there is a revaluation. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent re-measurement.

net gains from disposal of non-current asset sales are recognised in the Income Statement at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer.

(r) inventoriesdevelopment properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable valuenet realisable value is determined on the basis of sales for each class of inventory in the ordinary course of business. expenses of marketing, selling and distribution to customers are estimated and deducted to establish net realisable value.

Development work in progressCost includes variable and fixed costs directly related to specific contracts and those costs related to contract activity in general which can be allocated to specific contracts on a reasonable basis and other costs specifically chargeable under the contract. Costs expected to be incurred under penalty clauses and rectification provisions as well as financing costs on qualifying assets are also included.

land and property held for resaledevelopment properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development and holding costs such as borrowing costs, rates and taxes. Holding costs incurred after completion of development are expensed.

(s) impairment of assetsThe carrying amounts of Stockland’s assets, other than investment properties (refer note 1(u)), inventories (refer note 1(r)) and deferred tax assets (refer note 1(j)) are reviewed at each balance date, to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

an impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement, unless an asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any losses that exceed the previous revaluation recognised through the Income Statement.

Calculation of recoverable amountImpairment of receivables is not recognised until objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred. Significant receivables are individually assessed for impairment. non-significant receivables are not individually assessed. Instead, impairment testing is performed by placing non-significant receivables in portfolios of similar risk profiles, based on objective evidence from historical experience adjusted for any effects of conditions existing at each balance date.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less cost to sell, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

1 Summary of Significant accounting policieS (continued)(s) impairment of assets (continued)reversals of impairmentImpairment losses, other than in respect of goodwill, are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

An impairment loss in respect of a held-to-maturity security or receivable carried at amortised cost is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.

An impairment loss in respect of an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale is not reversed through the Income Statement.

(t) depreciation and amortisationAll assets having limited useful lives, are depreciated/amortised using the diminishing value or the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Land is not depreciated. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use.

Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. Depreciation and amortisation are expensed, except to the extent that they are included in the carrying amount of another asset as an allocation of production overheads.

The depreciation/amortisation rates of useful lives used for each class of assets are detailed below:

Leasehold improvements 10-20% –Plant and equipment 2-50% –Hotel management rights 10% –

These rates are consistent with the prior year.

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at least annually.

(u) investment propertiesInvestment properties comprise investment interests in land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) held for the purpose of producing rental income, capital appreciation, or both. Retirement living community assets are classified as investment properties as they are held to earn revenues and capital appreciation over the long term. These assets comprise independent living units, serviced apartments, common facilities and integral plant and equipment.

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including any acquisition costs. Investment properties are subsequently stated at fair value at each balance date with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised in the Income Statement in the period. The value of retirement living community assets within investment properties includes the value of land and buildings as well as the value of future resident fees to be derived. The value should be considered in conjunction with the retirement living resident obligations as described in Note 1(z).

Where a property is undergoing redevelopment, it is carried at fair value. Where property does not qualify as investment property but is to be redeveloped into investment property it is treated as property, plant and equipment and carried at cost until completion and then transferred to investment property at fair value. Finance costs incurred on investment properties undergoing redevelopment are included in the cost of the development as set out in Note 1(n).

Lease incentives provided by Stockland to lessees, and rental guarantees which may be received by Stockland from third parties (arising from the acquisition of investment properties) are included in the measurement of fair value of investment property and are treated as separate assets. Such assets are amortised over the respective periods to which the lease incentives and rental guarantees apply, either using a straight-line basis, or a basis which is more representative of the pattern of benefits.

When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any differences arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of the item, the gain is transferred to retained earnings. Any loss arising in this manner is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes for subsequent recording. When the consolidated entity begins to redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as investment property, the property remains an investment property, which is measured based on a fair value model, and is not reclassified as property, plant and equipment during the redevelopment.

A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis when the consolidated entity holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair value.

fair valueWhen assessing fair value, the directors will consider the discounted cash flow of the investment property, the highest and best use of the investment property and sales of similar properties.

In addition, Stockland is required to ensure that independent valuations are performed at regular intervals appropriate to the nature of the investment property. These valuations are considered by the directors when determining fair value.

Subsequent costsStockland recognises in the carrying amount of an investment property the cost of replacing part of that investment property when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Income Statement as an expense as incurred.

disposal of revalued assetsThe gain or loss on disposal of revalued assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal and is included in the Income Statement in the year of disposal.

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(v) Property, plant and equipmentItems of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

property under construction or development for future use as investment property (but which does not yet qualify as investment property as it is not complete) is classified as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost until construction or development is complete and the property is able to be leased, at which time it is reclassified as investment property. property under construction or development for future sale is classified as inventory and stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The construction or development of a self-constructed investment property is classified as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified as investment property.

(w) goodwillBusiness combinations prior to 1 July 2004Goodwill is included on the basis of its deemed cost, which represents the amount recorded under previous australian Gaap. The classification and accounting treatment of business combinations that occurred prior to 1 July 2004 was not reconsidered in preparing Stockland’s opening IFRS Balance Sheet at 1 July 2004.

Business combinations since 1 July 2004all business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment (refer note 1(s)). In respect of associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate.

negative goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised directly in the Income Statement.

(x) Trade and other payablesTrade and other payables are stated at cost.

Dividends and distributionsdividends and distributions payable are recognised in the reporting period in which the dividends and distributions are declared, determined, or publicly recommended by the directors on or before the end of the financial year, but not distributed at balance date.

(y) interest-bearing loans and borrowingsInterest-bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis unless there is an effective fair value hedge of the borrowings, in which case the borrowings are carried at fair value.

(z) Retirement living resident obligationsRetirement living resident obligations are treated as financial liabilities at fair value and resulting fair value adjustments are recognised in the Income Statement.

The fair value of retirement living resident obligations is determined by the contract between the resident and Stockland.

under an exit fee contract, the value of the obligation is measured as the principal amount plus the resident’s share of capital growth at the reporting date. These obligations are classified as current liabilities because Stockland does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement greater than 12 months after the resident turnover date. The underlying investment property is classified as a non-current asset.

under a deferred repayment contract the nominal value of the obligation is measured as the principal amount plus the resident’s share of capital gains based on the expected market value of the underlying property at turnover and is then discounted to its fair value at balance sheet date. The terms of the contract type allow Stockland to defer settlement of the obligation for a maximum of eight years after the resident turnover date based upon the resident’s tenure period. In the event the loan is settled early, the nominal value of the obligation is discounted at a

rate in accordance with the contract for a maximum of eight years. Given Stockland has an unconditional right to defer settlement greater than 12 months, the value of the obligation is classified as a non-current liability.

(aa) Provisionsa provision is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the timing or amount of which is uncertain.

provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(bb) employee benefits(i) Wages, salaries and annual leaveLiabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised as current liabilities in respect of employees’ services up to the balance date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) long service leaveThe liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the balance date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date.

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.F

1 SuMMARy of SigNifiCANT ACCouNTiNg PoliCieS (CoNTiNueD)(bb) employee benefits (continued)(iii) Bonus entitlementsa liability is recognised in other creditors for employee benefits in the form of employee bonus entitlements where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for employee bonus entitlements are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

(iv) Superannuation planStockland Corporation Limited contributes to several defined contribution superannuation plans. Contributions are recognised as an expense as they are incurred.

(v) employee benefit on-costsemployee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.

(vi) Share-based paymentsEmployee share plansStockland securities/rights granted to executive directors and senior executives together with the associated loan, where applicable, under executive share plans are required to be accounted for as options. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in the executive remuneration reserve. The fair value is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes or monte Carlo Simulation option pricing models taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is the period over which the securities are subject to performance and service conditions. Securities are allotted to the individuals, though ultimate beneficial ownership is dependent on meeting both performance hurdles and a service period.

Stockland securities issued to eligible employees under the Tax exempt employee Security plan are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in issued capital. The value recognised is the market price of the securities granted at grant date.

(cc) issued capitalIssued capital represents the amount of consideration received for stapled securities issued by Stockland. Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.

2 ACCouNTiNg eSTiMATeS AND ASSuMPTioNSestimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Stockland makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) key sources of estimation uncertainty estimates of fair value of investment propertiesThe best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar investment properties. Where such information is not available, Stockland determines a property’s value within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. In making its judgement, Stockland considers information from a variety of sources including:

(i) current prices in an active market for properties of different nature, condition or location (or subject to different leases or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those differences;

(ii) recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices;

(iii) discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, derived from the term of any existing lease and other contracts, and (where possible) from external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; and

(iv) capitalised income projections based upon a property’s estimated net market income, which is assumed to be a level annuity in perpetuity, and a capitalisation rate derived from analysis of market evidence. Reversions associated with short-term leasing risks/costs, incentives and capital expenditure may be deducted from the capitalised net income figure.

Assumptions underlying management’s estimates of fair valuei) Investment property excluding retirement

living assets The discounted cash flow approach applied for

investment properties includes assumptions in relation to current and recent investment property prices. If such prices are not available, then the fair value of investment properties is determined using assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance date.

The principal assumptions underlying management’s estimation of fair value are those related to the receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, void periods, maintenance requirements, and appropriate discount rates. These valuations are regularly compared to actual market yield data, and actual transactions by Stockland and those reported by the market.

The expected future market rentals are determined on the basis of current market rentals for similar properties in the same location and condition.

ii) Retirement living assets and liabilities The discounted cash flow approach applied for

retirement living assets and liabilities include assumptions in relation to:

discount rates; –compound annual growth rates of the value of –the underlying property;forecast period of occupancy of residents; –estimates of future capital expenditure; and –contract terms between Stockland and the –residents of the retirement living asset.

Where possible, these valuations are regularly compared to transactions reported in the market and underlying data.

2 ACCouNTiNg eSTiMATeS AND ASSuMPTioNS (CoNTiNueD)(b) Critical judgements in applying Stockland’s accounting policiesDistinction between investment properties and owner-occupied propertiesIn applying its accounting policies Stockland determines whether or not a property qualifies as an investment property. In making its judgement, Stockland considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to property but also to other assets used in the production or supply process.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes. If these portions can be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), Stockland accounts for the portions separately. If the portions cannot be sold separately, the property is accounted for as investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is applied in determining whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property. Stockland considers each property separately in making its judgement.

3 SegMeNT RePoRTiNgSegment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. unallocated items mainly comprise corporate assets, liabilities and expenses.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period.

Business segmentsStockland comprises the following main business segments, based on its management reporting system:

development (including retirement living); –Retail (previously referred to as “Shopping –Centres”);Commercial and Industrial; –Stockland Halladale; and –other. –

other comprises the Stockland Capital partners and Hotel divisions and Responsible entity fees relating to the Trust management.

The Stockland Halladale segment was created on 30 april 2007 following the acquisition of Halladale Group plc.

geographical segmentsIn presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue and segment assets are based on the geographical location of the underlying assets.

all segments operate solely within australia with the exception of Stockland Halladale, which operates within the united Kingdom, and Retail which also operates in new Zealand.

4 BuSiNeSS CoMBiNATioNS AND DiSPoSAlS2007Disposal of hotel businesson 31 January 2007 the consolidated entity sold its hotel management business which operated under the Saville Hotel Group brand. The Saville Hotel Group managed 11 apartment style hotels under lease agreements and management contracts with third party owners. The group was included in “other” within the segment note. The net gain on sale of this disposal group before tax was $87.8 million. proceeds from the sale amounted to $100.0 million.

Acquisition of businesses Australian Retirement Communitieson 28 February 2007 Stockland acquired the Retirement Living division of australian Retirement Communities (“aRC”), a privately owned retirement living operator, for $338.7 million in cash. The purchase involved both the acquisition of assets and shares/units in entities held by aRC. during the four months to 30 June 2007 aRC contributed profit before tax of $4.4 million to Stockland’s results for the year. management believe that it would be impractical to estimate the revenue and profit effect of this acquisition if it had occurred on 1 July 2006 given that it was a privately owned business not required to prepare a general purpose financial report.

The acquisition had the following effect on the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities on acquisition date:

The goodwill recognised on acquisition is attributable to premiums paid to gain a strong market entry position into the retirement living sector. aRC was an industry leader with a strong reputation and a highly desirable retirement living asset profile in locations complementary to other Stockland land holdings.

4 BuSiNeSS CoMBiNATioNS AND DiSPoSAlS (CoNTiNueD)2007 (continued)Acquisition of businesses (continued)Stockland halladaleon 30 april 2007 Stockland acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Halladale Group plc, which was listed on the London aIm exchange, for $305.5 million via a Scheme of arrangement. Halladale Group plc operated primarily in the united Kingdom commercial and retail property sector within the areas of asset management, development and co-investment funds management. management believes it is impractical to estimate the revenue and profit effect of the acquisition if it had occurred on 1 July 2006 as Halladale was not required to report under IFRS to the London aIm exchange for their financial year ended 30 april 2007.

The acquisition had the following effect on the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities on acquisition date:

1 Included within the total cost of acquisition are transaction costs of $11.9 million.

pre-acquisition carrying amounts were determined based on applicable aaSBs immediately before the acquisition. The values of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised on acquisition are their estimated fair values.

The goodwill recognised on acquisition is attributable to the strength of knowledge of the acquired business’ workforce primarily within the united Kingdom property market, particularly in the areas of development and co-investment fund management, as well as the synergies expected to be achieved by integrating the business into Stockland.

Basis for determining fair values of assets and liabilities acquiredThe fixed rate debt was valued by an independent valuer using a discounted cash flow analysis. no fair value adjustment arose on floating rate debt as the interest rate inherent in the instruments is market related.

The fair value of inventories were determined based upon passing rent (where applicable) or estimated rental value and an applicable yield as determined by the respective asset manager and confirmed by the property director. The fair value of inventories held by joint ventures and associates were valued by independent valuers and adjusted for development and settlement risk.

The fair value adjustments recognised against investments accounted for using the equity method relate to the underlying fair value of inventory and debt.

2006There were no acquisitions or disposals during the year ended 30 June 2006.

22 NoN-CuRReNT ASSeTS – iNTANgiBle ASSeTS (CoNTiNueD)The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each unit are as follows:

Stockland Halladale 222.4 –Stockland aRC 98.3 –diversified property assets (adp) 226.8 236.9other 8.8 8.8

556.3 245.7

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. no impairment losses have been recognised in the current or prior years.

The Stockland Halladale goodwill arose on the acquisition of Halladale Group plc on 30 april 2007. The goodwill impairment test was based on the fair value less costs to sell method. This involves identifying other recent transactions in the market place of entities that appear to have similar cash flow characteristics to Stockland Halladale. a comparison is then made between the premium percentage paid by other parties in the marketplace for similar entities and the premium percentage paid for the underlying assets in Stockland Halladale.

The Stockland aRC goodwill arose on the acquisition of the retirement living division of australian Retirement Communities on 28 February 2007. The goodwill impairment test was based upon the value in use method. This involves using cash flow projections for current and future Stockland retirement living communities based on formal budgets approved by management covering a five year period at a discount rate of 15%. Cash flows beyond the five year period have been determined by applying a steady 3% p.a. capital growth rate assumption for future Stockland retirement living communities once complete and projecting the costs and selling price for retirement living communities in the construction pipeline. This growth rate does not exceed the long term average rate for the australian retirement living property market. management believe that due to the long-term nature of retirement living communities and the ability to manage assets over that extended period, it is reasonable to use a cash flow period of greater than five years.

The diversified property assets (adp) goodwill arose on the acquisition of the amp diversified property Trust in 2003. The goodwill impairment test was based on the fair value less costs to sell method. This involves identifying other competitors in the marketplace that appear to have similar cash flows. a comparison is then made between the premium percentage being paid by competitors compared to the premium percentage paid for the underlying assets to which the diversified property assets (adp) goodwill relate.

Stockland Corporation Limited has guaranteed loans provided by the Commonwealth Bank of australia (“CBa”) to Key management personnel (“Kmp”) and other executives for a period of up to three years and 90 days from the date of the loan. The guarantee is for the shortfall, if any, between the value of the loan and the market value of the securities that the loan supports. The guarantee ends 90 days after the borrower ceases to be an employee of Stockland or a related entity. The value of the guarantee, being the value of the underlying loans, has been recorded as a contingent settlement provision.

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

34 eMPloyee BeNefiTS (CoNTiNueD)Superannuation contributionsStockland contributes to several defined contribution funds in accordance with the superannuation guarantee legislation and choice of fund legislation. Stockland and the employees make contributions based on various percentages of gross salaries. employees are entitled to benefits on retirement.

long Term incentive PlansTax exempt employee Security PlanThe new $1,000 tax exempt plan (“$1,000 plan”) was approved by security holders in october 2006. under the $1,000 plan eligible employees may be granted, at nil cost to the employee, Stockland securities to a maximum value of $1,000. The number of securities issued is based on the five day volume weighted average price (“vWap”) of securities prior to grant date. offers are approved by the Board dependent upon the performance of Stockland over the previous twelve months. offers will be made in august each year, concurrent with the pRp (discussed below). Such offers recognise the contribution of employees to Stockland’s performance and provide a link to growth in long-term security holder value.

The revised plan meets the requirements of the tax legislation in that it includes a holding lock of three years if the employee remains with Stockland and no forfeiture provisions (participants keep the securities and the holding lock lifts when they leave). The prior plan, approved in 2002, had a lock of only one year, and Stockland was required to pay FBT on the securities issued to employees.

Following finalisation of the changes in the tax legislation, the first offer under the $1,000 plan was made in april 2007, along with a cash top-up to reflect the reward participants would have achieved if the grant had been made in august 2006.

Performance Rights PlanThe performance Rights plan (“pRp”) was approved by security holders in october 2006. The first allocation was made in april 2007, with a grant date of october 2006, following changes to the tax legislation which were contemplated but not yet enacted at the time of approval by security holders. under the pRp, executives have the right to acquire Stockland securities at nil consideration when certain performance conditions are met as part of their remuneration package. each grant will comprise two equal tranches, each of which vest based on separate

performance hurdles (being earnings per Share (“epS”) and Total Security Holder Return (“TSR”)). The plan will be extended to other participants in august 2007. eligibility is by invitation of the Board and is reviewed annually. participants of the pRp are prohibited from receiving grants under any other Stockland employee security plan in the same financial year.

The number of rights granted to executives pursuant to the plan for the year ended 30 June 2007 was 854,000.

incentive Share PlanThe Incentive Share plan (“ISp”) was approved by security holders at the Stockland annual General meeting held on 26 october 2004. The ISp is administered by the Board in accordance with the plan Rules and the terms and conditions of the grants to participants. as a consequence of the creation of the pRp following tax legislation changes in april 2007, no further grants will be made under this plan following the august 2006 grant.

due to the FBT legislation previously in place, it was cost effective for Stockland to operate the ISp via a loan plan, such that executives acquire securities funded via a limited recourse loan provided by Stockland. The issue price of all securities was based on the vWap at which stapled securities are traded on the aSX during the five trading days up to and including the last trading day before the grant date. all grants under the ISp have been funded by interest-free loans provided by Stockland for a maximum of five years. dividends and distributions paid (net of FBT) on ISp securities are applied against the loan balance. The outstanding value of the loan is limited to the market value of the securities.

under the ISp rules, a proportion of the loan for the securities may be waived if certain performance conditions are met over a two to three year period and if continuous service is rendered over either two and one half or three years. The amount of loan forgiven is an award.

The number of securities acquired by employees pursuant to the plan for the year ended 30 June 2007 was 795,000 (2006: 2,260,000). outstanding loans to participants at 30 June 2007 amounted to $15,699,956 (2006: $13,218,398).

executive Securities Schemeprior to the approval of the ISp in 2004, executives participated in the executive Securities Scheme (“eSS”). under the rules of the eSS, senior employees

below executive level are invited to acquire a specific number of securities at a discount to the market price that is equivalent to the discount that applies to the Stockland dividend Reinvestment plan (“dRp”).

as a consequence of the creation of the pRp following tax legislation changes in april 2007, no further grants will be made under this plan following the august 2006 grant. as with the ISp, it was cost effective for Stockland to operate the eSS via a loan plan, such that participating senior employees acquired securities funded via a limited recourse loan provided by Stockland. all grants under the eSS have been funded by loans provided by Stockland for a maximum term of five years. Interest charged on the loans is equivalent to the dividends and distributions received annually on the securities. The outstanding value of the loan is limited to the market value of the securities.

The number of securities offered to each participating senior employee is dependent on their role, individual responsibilities, past performance and other components of remuneration detailed above. participating senior employees only receive a benefit after two years continuous service from the date of issue, being the vesting date, with the exercisable period expiring at a maximum of five years from grant date when repayment of the loan is required.

no grants were made under the eSS to any executives (being executive directors, senior executives and general managers) during the current or prior financial years.

The number of securities acquired by employees pursuant to the plan for the year ended 30 June 2007 was 4,113,000 (2006: 3,801,000). outstanding loans to participants at 30 June 2007 amounted to $28,215,180 (2006: $32,938,930).

The pRp, ISp and eSS operated in the same manner for senior executives as they did for executive directors, with the exception that any allotments were approved by the nomination and Remuneration Committee and did not require the passing of a resolution at a general meeting.

under aaSB 2, the pRp rights are options with performance conditions. ISp and eSS securities are options for accounting purposes. The fair value of the options is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, being the period during which the rights/securities are subject to performance and/or service conditions.

34 eMPloyee BeNefiTS (CoNTiNueD)long Term incentive Plans (continued)Calculation of fair value of rights/securities granted under share plansThe fair values of the rights granted under the pRp during the year have been measured using a monte Carlo Simulation (TSR hurdle) and the Black-Scholes options pricing model (epS hurdle).

The fair values of the securities granted under the ISp and eSS during the current and prior years have been measured using, for the ISp grant monte Carlo Simulation, and for the eSS grant Black-Scholes options pricing model.

assumptions made in determining the fair value of rights/securities granted under the share plans are detailed in the tables below:

Issued capital issued on aSX4 1,450,457,4861 For the period 1 July 2005 to 25 october 2005, aaSBs required Stockland Trust unit holders’ issued capital to be classified as a liability. at the annual General meeting held on 25 october 2005, the Stockland Trust unit

holders agreed to amend the Stockland Trust Constitution, which meant the unit holders’ issued capital from that date would be treated as equity in accordance with accounting standard aaSB 132. Therefore, the value of units on issue at 1 July 2005, being $4,276.8 million, was reclassified as a liability for the period 1 July 2005 to 25 october 2005.

2 These securities were issued during the period 1 July 2005 to 25 october 2005 when aaSBs required Stockland Trust unit holders’ issued capital to be classified as a liability under aaSB 132. This means that the value shown on 31 august 2005 of $0.47 represents the value of Stockland Corporation Limited shares issued, and the value shown on 25 october 2005 represents the reclassification of the value of Stockland Trust units at $5.43 per unit from liabilities to issued capital following amendment to the Stockland Trust Constitution at the annual General meeting which allowed the unit holders’ issued capital to be treated as equity from that date.

3 under aaSB 2, the executive Securities Scheme and the Incentive Share plan equity instruments are required to be accounted for as options. Refer accounting policy in note 1(bb)(vi). The value of the securities granted under these share plans represents the fair value of those shares at grant date calculated using either the Black-Scholes or monte Carlo Simulation option pricing models which takes into account the terms and conditions upon which the share were granted. The fair value is expensed in the Income Statement when granted over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in the executive remuneration reserve. Refer to note 37.

Terms and conditions of securitiesHolders of stapled securities are entitled to receive dividends and distributions as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per stapled security at security holder meetings. The liability of a member is limited to the amount if any remaining unpaid in relation to a member’s subscription for securities. a member is entitled to receive a distribution following termination of the stapling arrangement (for whatever reason). The net proceeds of realisation must be distributed to members, after making an allowance for payment of all liabilities (actual and anticipated) and meeting any actual or anticipated expenses of termination.

effect of stapling arrangementunder aI 1013, this Financial Report has been prepared based upon a business combination of the Company and Stockland Trust and its controlled entities. Therefore, there is a difference between the consolidated and company issued capital as a result of this stapling arrangement.

(c) Nature and purpose of reserves(i) Realised capital profits reserveThe realised capital profits reserve is used to transfer realised gains on the sale of investment properties which have been recorded in the Income Statement to reserves, as management policy is generally to reinvest these profits into future acquisitions of investment properties.

(ii) executive remuneration reserveThe executive remuneration reserve has arisen under aaSBs due to the pRp, ISp and eSS equity instruments being required to be accounted for as options. The fair value of the options is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, being the period over which the securities are subject to performance and/or service conditions. Refer accounting policy at note 1(bb)(vi).

(iii) Cash flow hedge reserveThe cash flow hedge reserve is used to record the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Refer accounting policy at note 1(m).

(iv) unrealised financial instruments reserveThe unrealised financial instruments reserve is used to transfer gains and losses on financial instruments which have been recorded in the Income Statement to reserves until such time as they are realised.

(v) foreign currency translation reserveThe foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations.

(vi) financial assets revaluation reserveThe financial assets revaluation reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of financial assets until the investment is derecognised.

Dividend franking account30% franking credits available to shareholders of the Company for subsequent financial years 28.9 1.7

The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for:

(a) franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liability;

(b) franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date;

(c) franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date; and

(d) franking credits that may be prevented from being distributed in subsequent financial years.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The positive balance of the franking account at 30 June 2007 was due to timing of dividend and tax payment cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

43 RetiReMent livingStockland arC owns 20 operational retirement living communities. The contracts entered into between Stockland and the resident, entitle Stockland to earn a resident fee which is linked to the resale value of the resident’s unit or apartment and their period of occupancy. under the contracts the residents are entitled to receive their ingoing payment plus any increase in the value of the property on turnover. The timing for settlement of this obligation upon turnover depends on the contract.

under an exit fee contract, Stockland does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement greater than 12 months after the resident turnover date.

under a deferred repayment contract, the terms of the contract allow Stockland to defer settlement for a maximum of eight years after the resident turnover date based upon the resident’s tenure period. in the event the loan is settled early the nominal value of the obligation is discounted at a rate in accordance with the contract for a maximum of eight years.

No interest is payable to the residents on these obligations.

Given the resident contracts are either loan/lease or loan and repurchase agreements, the accounting standards require the amount payable to residents to be recorded as a liability and the capital value of the retirement living communities to be recorded on the balance sheet as part of the fair value of the investment property.

The following table represents the net investment by Stockland in operational retirement living communities:

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Stockland Corporation Limited and its controlled entities (including Stockland Trust)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2007

47 finAnCiAl inStRuMentS(a) financial risk managementStockland’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk. Stockland’s overall financial risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Stockland’s financial performance. Stockland uses derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Financial risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the Board. The Board provides written principles of overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas such as mitigating interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity.

Credit riskStockland has no significant concentrations of credit risk and has policies to review the aggregate exposure of tenancies across its portfolio. Stockland also has policies to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. Stockland has policies that limit the amount of credit risk exposure to any one financial institution.

The carrying amount of financial assets included in the consolidated balance sheet represents Stockland’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these assets.

liquidity riskprudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Stockland aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

foreign exchange riskForeign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not Stockland’s functional currency, being australian dollars.

Stockland is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the New Zealand dollars, uS dollars, Japanese yen and pounds Sterling.

Stockland manages its foreign exchange exposure by using cross currency interest rate swap contracts and forward exchange contracts.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate riskThe income and the associated operating cash flows of Stockland’s assets are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

Stockland’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose Stockland to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Stockland to fair value interest rate risk.

Stockland manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, Stockland raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if Stockland borrowed at fixed rates directly. under the interest rate swaps, Stockland agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (generally quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts.

(b) derivative financial instruments used by StocklandStockland is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business in order to hedge exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates in accordance with Stockland’s financial risk management policies as mentioned above. From time to time Stockland uses other derivative financial instruments to diversify and/or enhance the yield on its investments.

Allocated interest rate swap contractsThe weighted average effective interest rate on the domestic medium term notes at 30 June 2007 is 5.97% (2006: 5.93%) and the nominal interest rate is 6.18% (2006: 5.99%). in accordance with Stockland’s policy to protect borrowings from exposure to increasing interest rates, interest rate swap contracts are entered into to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rate exposures.

Swaps currently in place cover approximately 49.4% (2006: 49.3%) of the note principal outstanding and are timed to expire as each note repayment falls due. The fixed interest rates range between 5.13% and 5.29% (2006: 5.13% and 5.29%) and the variable rates are the 90 day bank bill rate which at 30 June 2007 was 6.44% (2006: 5.98%).

These contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each 90 days. The settlement dates coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt.

interest rate swap contracts have been recorded on the Balance Sheet at their fair value in accordance with aaSB 139. These instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, nevertheless management believe the hedges are effective economically. as a result movements in the fair value of these instruments are recognised in the income Statement. refer accounting policy at Note 1(m).

at balance date, these contracts had a fair value of $11.5 million (2006: $6.3 million) included in non-current other assets and $12.6 million (2006: $12.8 million) in non-current other liabilities.

unallocated and future dated interest rate swap contractsStockland enters into unallocated and future dated interest rate swaps to manage the risk profile of its debt portfolio.

at 30 June 2007, the notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the unallocated and future dated interest rate swap contracts are as follows:

2007 2006$M $m

Less than one year – 400.01-2 years 150.0 –2-5 years 300.0 –over 5 years 2,104.3 1,200.0

The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each 90 days.

interest rate swap contracts have been recorded on the Balance Sheet at their fair value in accordance with aaSB 139 “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement”. These instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, nevertheless management believe the hedges are effective economically. as a result movements in the fair value of these instruments are recognised in the income Statement. refer accounting policy at Note 1(m).

at balance date, these contracts had a fair value of $18.7 million (2006: $6.7 million) included in non-current other assets and $38.6 million (2006: $0.9 million) included in non-current other liabilities.

Cross currency interest rate swap contractsSwaps currently in place cover 100% of the uK private placement principal outstanding and are timed to expire when each uK private placement loan matures. The fixed interest rate is 5.625% and the variable rates are between 0.630% and 0.635% above the 90 day bank bill rate which at 29 June 2007 was 6.44%. The foreign currency exchange rate has been fixed at aud/GBp 0.4037 for the notes on issue in the uK private placement market.

Stockland’s foreign medium term notes create both an interest rate and a foreign currency risk exposure. Stockland’s policy is to minimise its exposure to both interest rate and exchange rate movements. accordingly, Stockland has entered into a series of principal and cross currency interest rate swaps.

Certain of the cross currency swaps have been designated as a hedge of Stockland’s investment in Halladale. The carrying amount of these cross currency swaps recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve at 30 June 2007 was a $8.3 million loss.

Swaps currently in place cover 100% (2006: 100%) of the foreign currency loan principal outstanding and are timed to expire as each loan repayment falls due. in addition to these swaps, additional interest rate swaps totalling $63.1 million (2006: $63.0 million) have been entered into to further manage the risk profile of the foreign medium term notes.

(d) fair values of financial assets and liabilitiesSet out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all Stockland’s financial assets and liabilities recognised in the Financial Statements.

The fair values of other financial assets have been determined by reference to the net assets of the underlying investments.

The fair values of medium term notes (domestic and foreign) and derivative financial instruments have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market interest rates and exchange rates.

The fair value of the contingent settlement provision has been determined by comparing the value of the loans guaranteed by Stockland to the 30 June 2007 value of the securities to which they relate.

The difference of $151.3 million (2006: $156.7 million) between the carrying amount and fair value of the domestic medium term notes is due to the notes being carried at amortised cost under aaSB 139, whilst the fair value represents the amount required to replicate at balance date the principal and duration of these notes based on current market interest rates and conditions.

The difference of $17.7 million (2006: $27 million) between the carrying amount and the fair value of the contingent settlement provision is due to the market value of the Stockland securities which support the loans guaranteed by Stockland being higher than the loan values at balance date.

information regarding individual directors’ and executives’ remuneration is provided in the remuneration report section of the directors’ report.

basis of disclosures included as remunerationThe equity remuneration provided by Stockland under the prp, iSp and the eSS involves a benefit to the recipients of the grants, which is disclosed as remuneration and calculated in accordance with australian accounting Standards.

Measurementrefer Note 34 for details regarding the calculation of fair values for the prp, iSp and eSS.

The remuneration to the individual under each plan is this fair value multiplied by the number of equity instruments granted to the individual to determine the total value of the remuneration benefit for each issue.

refer Note 1(bb)(vi) for further details regarding the accounting policy for rights/securities granted under these plans.

Allocation of accounting expenseWhere the benefit from equity remuneration is expected to be earned over several reporting periods, the total benefit determined at the grant date of the equity remuneration is apportioned on a straight-line basis over the periods in which it is expected to be earned, being the vesting period.

For the equity remuneration granted by Stockland, where the individual forfeits the rights/securities due to failure to meet a service or performance condition, no remuneration in respect of that grant is reflected in the remuneration disclosures in that period, unless forfeiture relates to a market condition. The cumulative expense on forfeited rights/securities is reversed through the income Statement.

Where amendments are made to the terms and conditions of the grant subsequent to the grant date, the values of the grant immediately prior to and following the modification is determined. This occurs upon resignation or termination where the amendment relates to securities becoming vested in terms of beneficial ownership, which would otherwise have been forfeited due to the failure to meet future service or performance conditions. in this situation, the value that would have been recognised in future periods in respect of the securities not forfeited is brought to account in the period that the securities vest, along with the incremental value change of the grant resulting from the modification.

Loans granted under the ISP and ESS Loans made to individuals by Stockland to fund the purchase of securities granted under the iSp and eSS are not disclosed in the Balance Sheet under aaSBs because they are considered options for accounting purposes.F

This 10 year loan is repayable on 8 November 2012, or within 180 days of ceasing employment with Stockland, whichever is the earlier. Commercial interest rates apply should the executive no longer be an employee of Stockland. in the event of death or disability rendering the executive unable to work for Stockland, the loans may be repaid from the proceeds of life insurance policies.

in consideration for moving interstate to join Stockland, mr d Steinberg had an interest-free loan of $300,000 secured by unregistered mortgage over residential property with Stockland. This was repaid on 1 November 2006 and the mortgage was released.

No amounts have been written down or recorded as an allowance, as the balances are considered fully collectible.

The difference between fair value and face value of the loans being the value of the interest-free element (together with the related fringe benefits tax) has also been disclosed as a “Short-term Non-monetary” benefit in the remuneration report.

Share-based payment loans to KMPLimited recourse interest-free loans have been made by a wholly owned entity of Stockland to Kmp to finance the purchase of Stockland securities, pursuant to the iSp and the eSS as described in Note 34. The annual General meetings of Stockland have approved the grant of securities to executive directors and the grant of securities under the iSp. These loans have a maximum term of five years from the date the loan is advanced. early repayment is required upon resignation, retirement, or dismissal (within 91 days) and within 182 days after death of the individual. The stapled securities are security for the loan until all outstanding amounts are fully repaid under the eSS or waived under the iSp if certain performance and service conditions are met.

Loans made to individuals by Stockland to fund the purchase of securities granted under the iSp and eSS are not disclosed in the Balance Sheet under aaSBs because they are considered options for accounting purposes.

Some eSS loans advanced to Kmp have been refinanced through loans provided by the CBa.

Stockland has guaranteed these loans provided by CBa to Kmp and other executives for a period of up to three years and ninety days from the date of the loan. The guarantee is for the shortfall, if any, between the value of the loan and the market value of the stapled securities that the loan supports. The guarantee ends 90 days after the borrower ceases to be an employee of Stockland or a related entity. The value of the guarantee, being $17.7 million (2006: $27.0 million) has been recorded as a contingent settlement provision in the Balance Sheet. refer Note 33.

Where the underlying iSp and eSS securities are sold prior to vesting, any excess of sales proceeds over loan balances outstanding is to the benefit of Stockland (other than for any capital gains tax liability imposed on the individual) and otherwise, that is after vesting, to the benefit of the individual. any shortfall of sales proceeds over the loan balance is forgiven, except in respect of any dividends and distributions attaching to the securities.

Directors’ declaration

Stockland Annual Report 30 June 2007

Importantly, this innovation set us apart from our competitors and helped set up 25 years of continued profit growth. This year, we celebrate 50 years as a publicly listed company and we are now recognised as one of Australia’s largest and most successful diversified property groups.

Stockland was founded in 1952 by Ervin Graf, as the Stocks and Holdings Group of Companies. Five years later, Graf went public by taking over the smallest company on the Sydney Stock Exchange. In a world first for the real estate sector, we pioneered the development of the stapled security structure when we combined our trust and corporation activities into one stapled security, listed as SGP on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Cover We have created a world-class fit out at our new Sydney head office in the Piccadilly Centre.
