Business Overview 3 Devine’s Business Model • The Devine brand is one of Australia’s most trusted names in residential property – backed by over 26 years of experience and over 18,000 homes built since listing in 1993 • Devine has two business divisions with Housing and Land being the core focus, as well as the ancillary Property Development business which will continue to pursue selected opportunities in medium and high density residential developments • Devine is a leading Housing and Land business • • 1 The 2 - Develops land for residential subdivision and medium density residential development - Sells individual land allotments to other home builders and individual buyers - Is a contract home builder for individual buyers, primarily on Devine’s land estates The “integrated developer” business model is a competitive advantage. The model provides Devine with the flexibility to offer: - House and land “packages” (where the customer buys and pays for a land allotment from Devine Communities and enters into a progress claim1 building contract with Devine Homes2) - Land-only sales (to other builders and individuals) - Government-sponsored social housing projects is a potential growth market Devine’s housing estates are located in key growth corridors in major capital cities; Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide customers make progressive instalment payments to Devine Homes at different stages of construction. Refer to slide 30 for a business description. 4 Devine’s Competitive Advantage • The “integrated developer” model provides a competitive advantage - Underpins Devine’s profit margin and market share through a diversified product offering and by targeting a number of buyer segments - Provides flexibility to take advantage of changing market conditions and opportunities - Enables the efficient and seamless development of land and home construction – providing end-to-end delivery - Gives Devine greater access to the affordable housing market, for example, first-home buyers • Devine’s land bank is largely “market-ready” – planning and development approved and zoned for residential development - Devine does not focus on unzoned broadacre land – where there is a long lead time between the acquisition of land and home sales. Furthermore, the number of lots yielded by unzoned broadacre land and the timing of various approvals/zoning can be highly uncertain - Devine has a proven track record of optimum and efficient development approvals and maximising lot yields from its land acquisitions 5 Devine’s Competitive Advantage (cont.) • Leighton is Devine’s major shareholder and in addition its Leighton Properties division is a partner in two joint-venture projects - Provides complementary expertise, experience and capital for joint projects, such as Hamilton Harbour • Following a review of its business strategy in October 2009, Devine will be focused on residential land and housing development which Devine believes produces more predictable cashflows and earnings • Unlike other companies in the residential market, Devine does not: - Develop to hold property assets for rental revenue - Engage in funds management or the sale/distribution of financial products - Typically build “spec homes”, which are built to generic specifications and then sold once built (instead, Devine typically constructs project homes from its standard range of designs with a home building contract requiring the payment of progress claims to Devine) 6 Overview and History • Devine is a leading Australian home builder and residential land and property developer offering affordable housing products in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia - Since listing on the ASX in 1993, it has grown to become one of Australia’s foremost home builders and residential developers • Devine’s core competencies include concept design, product design, marketing and project management.

Strategy and Market Opportunity Devine announced in October 2009 that Housing and Land will be the core focus and the ancillary Property Development business will continue to pursue selected opportunities in medium and high density residential developments. 20 Refocused Strategy What does it mean for Devine? Previous Strategy • To pursue a wide range of opportunities in the real estate Current Strategy • sector, including: – Large scale property development, such as the French Quarter – Commercial developments, such as King George Central • (145 Ann St) – Mixed-use precincts that include residential, commercial and retail components – Construction of Devine’s large-scale commercial developments and medium to high density residential projects – Property management and body corporate services through SSKB – • • • Traditional housing and land business The Housing and Land division services the Queensland, Victorian and South Australian markets • • • • Leverage Devine’s competitive advantage in developing housing and land projects, with a focus on: – First home buyers – First and second time move-up buyers – Investors – Sale of land to other builders Refocus the business away from large-scale and commercial developments – Release capital tied-up in large, single projects – Increase the predictability of cashflows and earnings – Sale of King George Central (145 Ann St) and Carrington; exit process is being considered for Camelot Continue to seek opportunities in the medium and high density residential space, for example, the successful Hamilton Harbour development Continue to build and develop lots through a mix of wholly-owned estates, joint ventures, deferred settlement contracts and purchase options Increase presence in higher growth states like Victoria Opportunistically re-enter the NSW residential market in the medium to high density sector Pursue selected opportunities in the Devine Constructions business (eg. recent work as part of the Building the Education Revolution school works programme) Exit property management and body corporate services (sale of SSKB completed in August 2009) 21 Housing and Land Refocus • Devine has carried out a detailed strategic review of its business • The Board together with management has decided to refocus the business on Housing and Land projects to enhance shareholder value and allow Devine to take advantage of favourable market conditions in the residential sector over the coming years where it has a long and established track record – – – Access to affordable debt capital for large-scale and commercial development projects has diminished Devine’s core competitive advantage is in developing residential projects, where the capital demand is lower Increase the predictability of cashflows and earnings • A focus on the Housing and Land division will allow Devine to pursue growth opportunities, such as – – – Taking advantage of a shortage in affordable housing and favourable supply / demand dynamics, which are expected to remain in place over the medium to long-term Increasing its presence in the higher-growth Victorian market and re-establishing a presence in NSW Selected medium and high density residential or mixeduse developments where Devine has a competitive advantage 12,000 Total Lots Under Control Strategic growth target of ~10,000 lots 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 FY03 FY05 FY07 FY09 FY12 22 Robust Demand for Housing and Land • Demand is underpinned by favourable demographic, macroeconomic and public policy dynamics - Strong population growth: 2.1% in the year to 30 June 2009 driven by net migration (contributing to 64% of the gain) and total fertility rates at a 30 year high - Net migration of 230,000 expected in FY10 (vs. 285,000 in FY09) - Low levels of unemployment and robust economic growth contributing to the demand factors - Government incentives for first-home-owners of up to $18,000 are still available in some states until 30 June 2010 - Affordability1 has declined from recent highs but is still 35.7% above September 2008 levels - Social housing initiatives are creating additional demand pressures: - Up to 19,200 new dwellings to be built, with only ~2,300 dwellings commenced to date -

Recent government policy initiatives will take some time to impact the supply of zoned, approved lots Developers with market-ready land and a flexible product delivery capability will benefit the most 316,000 The shortage is expected to grow between now and 2018 300,000 Delays in planning approvals, rezoning and difficulty securing finance is exacerbating shortages of approved land in metropolitan growth areas • 350,000 250,000 203,000 Dwellings • Forecast Cumulative Gap between Dwelling Demand and Supply 200,000 179,000 155,000 150,000 131,000 108,000 100,000 50,000 0 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY18 Source: National Supply Council (annual State of Supply Report 2009). 24 Devine is Well Placed to take Advantage of this Opportunity • Devine’s is an “integrated developer” -
