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

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

determining insurance values; and
determining land tax values.

made a submission to the
inquiry by the Productivity
Commission into the Price
Regulation of Airport
Services. 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

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.

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.
