The underlying business remained solid and a number of strategic initiatives were successfully implemented. These initiatives were aimed at increasing the Group’s return on equity, long-term earnings growth and improving the quality of the portfolio. We are now well placed to make the most of new opportunities. In the years since the global financial crisis there has been a stabilisation of international markets and in many regions a return to growth. In its 51 year-history Westfield has seen many economic cycles and constantly draws on this experience to help the Group make the necessary adjustments to adapt to changes in the retail landscape. In recent years the Group has placed a greater emphasis on investment in higher quality assets as it refines its portfolio to meet the needs of the contemporary shopper. There are now flagship centres in some of the world’s leading cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Melbourne and Sydney. Westfield is responding to the continuous change in its marketplace in a number of ways – by creating these new and exciting shopping centres that attract the world’s leading brands and feature the best in design and customer services, through to the use of the internet and digital technology to promote and offer retailers and consumers new opportunities to visit and shop at Westfield. Keeping pace with these developments in the real and virtual worlds will remain a priority.

Our experience through years of stability and volatility alike has demonstrated the importance of a high quality portfolio and the Group has continually managed its investments to maintain that quality, while maximising its capital position through the most efficient ownership structures. In recent times we have increased the number of joint venture partnerships across the portfolio with view to improving return on equity. The 2011 results saw the Group achieve a net profit of $1.53 billion, up 37.6% on the 2010 result. Funds from Operations (FFO) was $1.49 billion representing 64.8 cents per security. This result, which was at the upper end of the forecast range, was pleasing as we absorbed the Australian dollar’s significant appreciation of 12% against the US dollar and 8% against the UK pound over the year. Distribution for the 12 months was $1.11 billion or 48.4 cents per security in line with forecast. The result was driven by net property income increasing 7% for the year, a 100% increase in the Group’s management income and a 92% increase in project income. Return on contributed equity increased to 11.4% for the year. 2011 was a significant year for the Group as we continued to implement the strategy of increasing return on equity through a more capital efficient business. Following the establishment of Westfield Retail Trust (WRT) in December 2010, which created a joint venture partnership over the Australian/New Zealand portfolio, the Group completed further major joint venture partnerships including the £1.75 billion Westfield Stratford City in London with APG (Netherlands-based manager of multiple pension funds including the world’s third largest pension fund) and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB – Canada’s largest single-purpose investment fund.) More recently, we announced US$4.8 billion joint venture over 12 assets in the United States with CPPIB. The joint ventures result in increasing returns for the Group.

Jump on Board: High-performing not-for-profit boards in fundraising 2 Philanthropic fundraising in Australia is in a state of rapid change. While mass giving is in decline, major gifts are on the rise, and in coming years we will see the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in our nation’s history. This undoubtedly presents an exciting opportunity for the non-for-profit (NFP) sector to attract significant support, but also raises questions about how prepared NFPs are to maximise this opportunity.

  • Equity and Excellence in Australian Schools
    159 Government Senators' Dissenting Report Introduction This dissenting report was prompted for several reasons. First and immediately, to correct the inaccuracies and bias in the majority report developed with a clear political agenda and which has eschewed the evidence on school education in Australia today. Second, and more importantly to seek to place future school funding in relation to the Commonwealth, which is all this Senate Committee can and should be considering, in a better context than has occurred throughout these hearings and in the debate, if it can be called that, which preceded the Senate Committee’s appointment. Third, to outline core principles which should drive Commonwealth school education policy for the future and to focus discussion and hopefully future education policy to those issues that matter most – namely the policies needed to improve education outcomes of students. The Commonwealth’s funding arrangements for schools became an area of settled public policy by the early 1970s. After years of acrimonious partisan and sectarian debate, there was strong bipartisan support for Australia’s unique school system where the states and territories were responsible for school policy, and most of the funding, with additional Commonwealth support. Such Commonwealth funding was needs based and reflected principles of equity, fairness and choice. Irrespective of the type of government, of course, there was a residue of confusion about how the funding system worked, and myths abounded regarding funding models and criteria. Sadly, this bipartisan support and rational debate was swept aside following the release of the Gonski Review of Funding for Schooling (henceforth called the Gonski Review) in November 2011.
