With approximately $20 BAA has proven its leadership internationally. million of revenues subject to direct price oversight and a further $14 million in revenues currently subjected to prices monitoring, WAC is keen to ensure the development of a fair pricing regime that recognises the significant countervailing market power of airlines and David Crawford, Chairman Westralia Airports Corporation Page 5 Property development and management is the fastest growing area of WAC’s operations, and this year, some major milestones were achieved by our property and development group, including securing many new developments and winning prestigious industry awards. Page 6 The longer term potential of WAC’s property and aeronautical assets is encapsulated in ‘Vision 2018’, which shows how the airport and its unique property estate will be integrated as an internationally recognised business enterprise zone and commercial business district. WAC’s aeronautical business and Several significant commercial property development projects were completed during 2000/2001 as the first steps towards ‘Vision 2018’. This saw new tenants, including Fowles, Skywest, Cummins and a Freight Park Complex, tenanted by various freight forwarders and Australia Post. Construction of a new facility for Western Power also commenced. During the year, WAC WAC commissioned and completed a comprehensive independent valuation of all land, building and civil works assets this year. Independent valuers were engaged to carry out the task, valuing many assets not previously valued. The valuation was conducted in accordance with a valuation handbook prepared under the supervision of Ernst & Young. The handbook provides a sound and defensible basis for undertaking future valuations for the purposes of: financial reporting; providing a defensible basis for valuations of currently regulated assets; assisting in determining future property development inherent value; determining insurance values; and determining land tax values. and appropriate form of any The independent valuations have valued land, buildings and works assets at approximately $80 million above current carrying values. WAC has elected not to book the valuations in 2000/2001, although we have disclosed the valuations in the notes to the financial statements. that revenue derived from what it described as A Perth International Airport Property Trust (PIAPT) progress was made this year with respect to is being created to provide ongoing funding for resolving an ACCC recommendation for the property development activities.

The Commission will make recommendations to Government on the need for prices regulation from July 2002. The outcome of the inquiry will have a material impact on WAC’s revenue and a fairer pricing regime to support investment in aeronautical infrastructure is needed. The Commission has circulated a draft report with a final report due in December 2001. The current CPI-X regime has delivered significant discounts in airport charges to airlines, but has proven to be heavy handed and provides little incentives for investment. It has also resulted in a number of interpretations by ACCC which have caused major difficulty for WAC. In particular, in its Regulatory Report relating to Perth International Airport dated April 2001, the ACCC re-affirmed a view it previously held vehicle access charges falls under the definition of ‘aeronautical services’ in Pricing Declaration 87, and that as a result, revenue derived from these charges should be included in the aeronautical price cap. Similarly, no further aeronautical traffic levels at the time. A number of factors outside WAC’s control have contributed to significantly dampening the projected traffic levels. As a result, WAC successfully approached the Department of Transport and Regional Services this year to seek amendment to the commitment allowing it to be extended a further four years. WAC re-balanced its aeronautical charges in 2000/01 to become one of the first airports in Australia to implement passenger-based charging for international airlines. The re-balancing was undertaken within the parameter of the CPI-X price cap that applies to aeronautical charges, and was approved by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. WAC has supported the State Government’s push towards boosting Western Australia’s tourism industry by continuing to play an important role in the industry. For the third successive year, WAC was the major sponsor of the Western Australian Tourism Awards. WAC has also been represented on a number of tourism and travel related International Airport Information Memorandum and by Commonwealth officials in briefings during the time the airport was offered for sale. bodies, working with industry to realise the WAC has continued to make strong Arab Emirates markets.

There are 28 retail outlets at the international terminal, covering a total area of 5,300 square metres and offering a good range and quality of international branded merchandise and services as well as local products. Perhaps the most significant business negotiation for the year in terms of future retail activities was the announcement of a new 10 year deal, commencing November 2001 with the Nuance Group, which trades as Downtown Duty Free. This continues a successful partnership that Perth International Airport has had with Nuance since 1991. This is an exciting development for the duty free market at Perth International Airport, which generates the highest passenger spend rate in Australia. A further increase is expected as a result of capital commitments that will be made by both Nuance and WAC. This is part of the retail component of the terminal redevelopment designed to improve the passenger environment and offer customers an enhanced shopping experience. The deal is expected to generate sales in excess of $700 million over the next 10 years for the airport.

Surrounded by beautiful Volunteers Australia natural bushland, Perth International Airport (CVA) and WAC. has unfortunately been used as a dumping ground by the public. During March, CVA and WAC formed a partnership to clean up bushland at Perth International Airport over a two week period. Grasslands, wetlands and woodlands were combed by 14 volunteers, and of these, many were international visitors. More than 1.5 tonnes of household waste, two tonnes of scrap metal and over 1,000 tyres were collected from the areas involved. As well as the positive outcome of improving the bushland and wetland condition of Perth International Airport, excellent feedback was received from the volunteers. All members took time during the clean up to enjoy the beautiful natural environment and observe the native residents.
