Independent valuations of land and buildings are undertaken at all sites at least once every three years. Independent valuers value each site on a standalone basis and attribute appropriate valuations to the asset components of land and buildings. An adjustment of $12 million was made at 30 June 2023 to increase the carrying amount of land and buildings to fair value. The adjustment is reflected in property, plant and equipment in the Statement of Financial Position and Other Comprehensive Income in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
