Sydney continues

market performer (Melbourne wide market). Sydney Luxury hotels achieved 91.4%
Occ and $391 ADR, contributing to RevPAR growth of 3.8% to record $358 RevPAR,
which is $47+ ahead of Melbourne’s Luxury market (93.3% Occ, $333 ADR and $311

Melbourne
continues to struggle to grow RevPAR as new hotel supply and generic apartment
product enters the market and Canberra falls moderately on softer Occupancy and
ADR as supply exceeds room night demand growth.
Hobart records
the third highest RevPAR ($163) across Australia despite a fall in all market
performance KPI’s and the Gold Coast, in the lead up to the Commonwealth games,
grews both Occupancy and ADR achieving the fourth highest RevPAR across
Australia.
