17WATER MANAGEMENT Related UNSDGs Why Is It Important Water sustains life. It supports the communities around us, shapes the environments we create, and enables our developments to function as intended. As a property developer and operator, we rely on water at every stage, from construction activities at our project sites, to maintaining landscapes and shared spaces, and operating assets such as the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”). We consume a significant volume of treated water, particularly for golf course irrigation, which is inherently water intensive. This water is drawn from the same public supply that serves homes, businesses, and the wider community. It reinforces our responsibility to use water carefully, avoid unnecessary losses, and ensure that our operations do not take this shared resource for granted. Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production OUR APPROACH Our policy is to use water responsibly and improve water efficiency across our construction sites and operating assets. We recognise that our developments, particularly construction activities and golf course operations, require significant volumes of treated water. Our commitment is to improve efficiency, reduce avoidable water losses, and minimise unnecessary water consumption where practical, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining reliable operations. Area Key Initiatives Governance and regulatory compliance • Water management requirements are incorporated into project specifications, method statements, and environmental management plans • Compliance with applicable water-related regulatory requirements and guidelines is maintained Water supply and alternative sources • Water is primarily sourced from municipal supply for construction and operations • Rainwater harvesting, recycled water and groundwater are used for suitable non-potable purposes where feasible Water efficiency and conservation • Controlled curing, washing and good housekeeping practices are implemented at project sites • Water-efficient fittings and conservation features are implemented across developments, where applicable Irrigation and landscape management • Irrigation systems are managed and optimised, particularly at the TGCR and township landscapes • Retention ponds and water bodies are maintained to support irrigation efficiency and filtration Monitoring and leak management • Water consumption is monitored through utility records, meters and site inspections • Preventive maintenance and prompt repair of leaks are carried out where identified Water reuse and recycling • Rainwater harvesting systems are implemented at suitable developments • Reuse of air-conditioning condensate water and other recycled water for irrigation and non-potable uses, where feasible Supply reliability and storage • Water storage tanks and retention systems are maintained to support operational continuity and efficient water management 165
