Notes

1. Property investment revenues reported are the gross sale proceeds, excluding GST. In 2019–20 the accounting treatment under AASB 16 Leases reports the net gain $15.2 million, with a portion of the gain deferred over the term of the lease.
2. Liquidity ratio excludes current borrowings as borrowed items are rolled on maturity and not considered to be a risk.
3. Figures include all properties managed by DHA (leased and owned).
