Revaluation increments of $54,412,000 for land (2011: decrements of $42,638,000) and increments of $2,946,000 for buildings (2011: decrements of $48,891,000), impairment decrements of nil of leasehold improvements (2011: decrements of nil) and revaluation increments of $5,642,652 for infrastructure, plant and equipment (2011: increments of $1,199,000) were made to the asset revaluation reserve.

Restrictions on title
Due to the diplomatic nature of the overseas property portfolio, some properties have restriction on title. Restrictions on title vary depending on local government rules and regulations, such as one long term title that prohibits the Commonwealth of Australia from profiting from sale of the land.
