Lendlease Annual Report 2024
Financial Statements 151 33. Disposal Group Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale Accounting Policies The group of assets and their corresponding liabilities (together referred to as a Disposal Group), may only be classified as held for sale once the following criteria are met: • The carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use; and • The sale must be highly probable. A disposal group is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where fair value is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is recognised as an impairment loss within the Income Statement. Australia Communities projects On 18 December 2023, the Group announced that it had entered into an agreement for the sale of 12 Australian master-planned Communities projects to Stockland Corporation Limited and its capital partner, Supalai Australia Holdings, for $1.3 billion, including the assumed exercise of a $239 million right to acquire certain land parcels. The transaction is subject to various conditions precedent, including Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and relevant landowner approvals. On 4 July 2024 the ACCC released a Statement of Issues in relation to the acquisition, which outlined the preliminary views of the ACCC and identified areas of further enquiry. The ACCC advised a provisional date for announcement of its final decision of 12 September 2024, however this date is subject to change. As part of the transaction, the Group will retain four Communities projects, which will continue to be recognised as part of Core operations within the Development segment, with an Inventory balance of $243 million as at 30 June 2024.
