B16 Other intangible assets (continued) Intangible asset model Concession intangible assets accounting policy Concession assets that do not meet the criteria of the financial asset model are classified as intangible assets and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the concession arrangement. The Group has the right to toll and operate the concession assets during the concession period. Extensions to the concession period have been granted to a number of individual concessions as a result of road development projects and improvements. At the end of the concession period, all concession assets are to be returned to the respective government. The remaining periods the Group has the right to toll and operate the concession assets are shown below: 2026 2025 Years Years Melbourne—Victorian State Government 19 20 Sydney—New South Wales State Government 1 0-22 1-23 Brisbane—Queensland State Government and Brisbane City Council 25-39 26-40

KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE AND JUDGEMENT For the purpose of impairment testing, for the Melbourne operating segment, management have determined that the lowest level where there is an identifiable group of assets, that has separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent from other assets or group of assets, is the combined concession intangible assets of CityLink and West Gate Tunnel (CGU). Any identified indication of impairment would require impairment testing at this CGU level. For a majority of the Group's remaining concession intangible assets, any identified indication of impairment would require impairment testing at the individual concession intangible asset level. Impairment testing is undertaken by calculating the recoverable amount, based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in- use, estimated using discounted cash flows. The calculation requires the use of assumptions regarding traffic flows, discount rates, growth rates and other factors affecting operating activities of the CGU. Management have concluded that there are no indications of impairment for the concession intangible assets held by the Group, including CityLink and West Gate Tunnel CGU as at 30 June 2026.

Assets under construction Assets under construction accounting policy Assets under construction are accounted for as contract assets.

Assets under construction are initially measured at the fair value of consideration received for the construction services delivered. Fair value is measured by reference to the SSP of the construction services promised to the customer. The SSP is determined using the expected cost plus a margin approach, which includes all expected costs of satisfying the construction services performance obligation, including additional elements that a market participant would use (including project management costs and borrowing costs). Construction costs relating to completed works are transferred to concession intangible assets upon final completion of the project. For the purposes of impairment testing, the Group applies the simplified approach to measuring the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for all contract assets.
