After quarter end it entered Victoria through a 15-year service order covering 203 new homes, opened its first retail shopping centre in Rockhampton and partnered with Walker Corporation on a Maroochydore tower.

Sector context

Land lease communities are a growing residential segment, and energy services attached to them depend on contract length and site numbers. The broader index was little changed on 12 November.

Risks and limitations

The PowerHub balance of the purchase price is contingent on pipeline activations. Customer rebate cash is not available to the company, and operating payments rose quarter on quarter.

What to watch ahead

Investors will look for active service point growth, progress of the buy-back and conversion of the Victorian and Walker agreements into connected sites.
