MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Broadening Horizons

Toll is very pleased

to announce it

received overwhelming

shareholder approval at its

Extraordinary General

Meeting on 28 May 2007,

to effect the restructure.

This resulted in the separation of Toll’s

infrastructure assets into a new ASX listed

entity, Asciano (AIO), which began trading

for the first time on 6 June 2007 per a

stapled security.

The restructure has now freed up Toll’s

balance sheet and set the Company up to

accelerate growth throughout all current

operations – broadening horizons.

We take this opportunity to thank all

shareholders and employees for their valued

support during this significant milestone event.

Strategic Interest in CSFE

In May, Toll acquired a strategic interest in

one of the Peoples’ Republic of China’s

largest specialist export consolidators,

Cargo Services Far East (CSFE), making it

our second acquisition in Asia following

SembCorp Logistics a year earlier.

Based in Hong Kong, CSFE has extensive

operations in mainland China, providing

export services to many significant European,

US and Australian importers. In addition,

CSFE operates as a shipping agent, and has

recently commenced a barging operation on

the Yangzi River in China.

We see CSFE as a cornerstone operation in

our Asian expansion strategy, complementing

our continuing drive to deliver integrated,

door-to-door services to our customers across

the Asian region.

CSFE operations will be aligned and

integrated with Toll's domestic logistics

businesses throughout the Asian region,

aiding the delivery of seamless international

logistics services.

Asian marine and mining

logistics growth platform

secured

On 13 June, Toll’s wholly owned subsidiary

Toll Express (Asia) Pte Ltd (Toll) announced

an intention to make a voluntary general offer

to acquire control of Sembawang Kimtrans

Limited (SWKT), a publicly listed Company

in Singapore, specialising in integrated

logistics and marine transportation.

Toll, which already holds a 26% interest,

secured irrevocable undertakings from a

company associated with the Executive

Directors of SWKT and another substantial

shareholder, which together with Toll’s

existing interest amounts to more that 57%

of the issued shares of SWKT.

SWKT has its own fleet of purpose built

barges and tugs as well as specialist

warehouses, providing distribution and

transport operations in Singapore and

Indonesia, and the region generally.

The Company has been able to assist multi

nationals in the planning, coordination and

completion of major projects within the

South East Asia-Pacific region. Examples

include the transportation of mill equipment

to remote sites in Indonesia, Myanmar,

Thailand and Papua New Guinea and

subsequent continuity of supply during the

production stages of the mine projects.

In addition, Sembawang Kimtrans provides

logistical support to pipeline operations in

Vietnam, as well as other resources projects

in India and South Africa.

Toll has been impressed by the calibre of the

Sembawang Kimtrans management, and we

are excited to be increasing our stake in a

well managed and profitable business with

strong exposure to the high growth, energy

and resources market in South East Asia.

The two biggest shareholders in Sembawang

Kimtrans other than Toll have already

committed to tender their shares, meaning

that the passing of control in Sembawang

Kimtrans to Toll will be achieved.

Toll Express (Asia) will offer S$0.70 per

Sembawang Kimtrans share, increasing to

S$0.80 per Sembawang Kimtrans share, in

the event that acceptances are received from

shareholders of not less than 90% of the

Sembawang Kimtrans shares the subject of

Paul Little

Managing Director

the offer and Toll is entitled to proceed to

compulsory acquisition.

At a consideration of S$0.80 per share, the

offer premium would be 20.7% above the

12 month VWAP for Sembawang Kimtrans’

shares traded to close on 12 June 2007.

The acquisition will be EPS accretive

immediately and funded by debt facilities in

Singapore.

It is expected that the offer document will

be forwarded to shareholders by early

July 2007.

The acquisition of

Sembawang Kimtrans

will enhance Toll’s strategic

position within the Asian

region, especially within

the marine and mining

logistics sector.

In addition, it will assist

in driving Toll’s strategy

to become the pre-eminent

integrated logistics provider

in the Asian region.

DIRECTOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT’S REPORT

Asia Pacific Focus – Global Reach

Toll’s push into global logistics markets is

gathering momentum with our drive to:

• Grow our Toll Asia business in all the key

domestic markets in the region; and

• Develop an international supply chain and

forwarding business of genuine scale.

Toll Asia

Toll is now exceptionally positioned, through

its pan-Asian footprint, to capitalise on the

enormous growth in the Asian logistics markets.

China continues to grow at a phenomenal rate

of 8 percent GDP and other exciting markets

including India and Vietnam are also on the

move, both too are growing at over 8 percent

GDP per annum. In addition, most other Asian

countries are exceeding 5 percent GDP per

annum, offering Toll enormous opportunities to

provide integrated logistics services.

Toll Asia is now looking to grow aggressively

across the region through strategic

acquisitions, winning new contracts, as well

as starting up new services such as

AutoLogistics, based on our Australian

business model.

To that, we are striving to make Toll competitive

in a global environment. Our future success is

reliant upon maintaining best practice

throughout our operations and continuing to

address the challenges as we compete

vigorously with most of the world’s largest

logistics companies, and many strong, specialist

Asian companies with detailed knowledge of

the vagaries of their home markets.

Toll Group Director Strategy, Mergers and

Acquisitions Mr Stephen Stanley, is currently

driving the Toll Asia business, since the recent

retirement of the former President and CEO

Mr Koh Soo Keong.

Toll Global Forwarding

In support of our Asian, Australian and New

Zealand businesses, we are developing an

international freight forwarding and supply

chain management business of significant

scale, with blue-water and air freight

capability.

We are utilising our existing Toll International

business as our platform to springboard and

grow our new Global Forwarding business.

Toll International today, represents the

progressive integration of the original Toll

International, Patrick International Freight,

Tranzlink, and elements of Carpentaria

International.

Although this newly merged single business unit

had excellent capability in Australia and New

Zealand, it had limited capability elsewhere.

Our recent acquisition of a strategic equity

stake in Hong Kong / China based specialist

consolidator and freight forwarder Cargo

Services Far East (CSFE), constitutes Toll

International’s first office outside Australia

and New Zealand, and gives us great start-up

capability in China. CSFE provides specialist

supply chain services and technology to some of

the world’s largest retailers, including Walmart

in the UK and Woolworths in Australia.

This strategic move now enables us to provide

customised door-to-door and value-add

services to our Australian and New Zealand

customers that import from China.

In addition to building our operational

capabilities outside Australia and New

Zealand, we are also leveraging the

significant investment we’ve made in

technology over the past five years to develop

a global visibility platform for our expanding

international operations.

To continue the momentum, we have created

two key roles within the Toll International

business and appointed high calibre

candidates for the positions:

• Peter Winslow has been appointed as

General Manager Asia-Pacific, joining us

with 25 years international freight

experience with DHL and UPS; and

• Paul Damkjaer takes over as Toll

International General Manager for Australia

and New Zealand, after a long career with

Kuehne and Nagel, one of the world’s largest

international freight forwarders.

Toll Partners Local Automotive Manufacturer

Creating Global Competitive Capability

Toll officially opened its new state-of-the-art Logistics Optimisation

Centre (LOC) on 28 March 2007 in the northern Melbourne suburb

of Campbellfield, unlocking significant value to its automotive

customers in Australia.

The spacious 17,500 sqm world-class centre, is focussed on providing

a wide range of superior automotive logistics services to companies

such as Ford, Toyota, Holden and a number of domestic and

international components manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers.

The State Treasurer of Victoria, Minister for Innovation and Minister

for Regional and Rural Development, The Hon John Brumby MP,

opened the centre before an audience of key government, business

and industry dignitaries including: Mr Peter Upton, Chief Executive

FAPM; Cr Gary Jungwirth, The Mayor, Hume City Council, Mr Wal

Lawson, Director City Infrastructure, Hume City Council; Ford Motor

Company of Australia; General Motors Holden and Toyota Motor

Corporation of Australia.

Toll Group’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Little said that Toll is

constantly collaborating with its customers developing cutting edge

industry solutions to changing market demands.

Mr Little said, “Included in our vision of the automotive sector, is the

development of similar optimisation facilities in China and India,

which will further enhance our ability to offer even greater efficiencies

for the automotive sector, to further streamline the movement of parts

and finished cars into the Australian market.

“Toll’s logistics optimisation centre is a key component of the overall

solution, which tracks material throughout the entire supply chain,

providing customers with the parts they require.The centre therefore,

minimises inventory and the costly expediting of material. In addition,

our investment in the new centre demonstrates our commitment to our

customers in the automotive industry.”

Toll Group Managing Director Paul Little delivering his speech.

Key to the success of the LOC is Toll’s AutoLogistics Transport and

Optimisation Management system (ATOM), capturing data at source

using real-time information, backed by specialised decision support

tools to achieve greater supply chain visibility and improved

cost control.

“Toll continues to differentiate its services based on technology, and

we see this as a major point of difference domestically and globally.

“We look forward to continuing our investment in our unique logistics

offering and working in concert with customers to develop the best

possible solutions,” said Mr Little.

Toll SPD Successful in Qenos Plastics Tender

Toll SPD has signed a $225 million

contract to supply a comprehensive

range of logistics services to Australia’s

leading plastics manufacturer, Qenos

Pty Ltd nationally.

Toll SPD’s current operation is based in

Laverton North in Melbourne’s western

suburbs and has serviced Qenos’ Altona

operations for the past twelve years.

The Laverton North facility (also in

Melbourne’s western suburbs) in Cherry Lane

consists of a 15,000 pallet warehouse,

storage for 3,000 shipping containers and a

dedicated packaging plant converting bulk

product into palletised stock.

The transport operation handles around

200,000 tonnes of plastic per annum from

Qenos’ Altona plant into the Toll facility, then

delivers it either in bulk or palletised to

destinations in all states.

The existing business is a significant user of

rail, particularly on the east coast and

expands to around 15,000 rail movements

per annum under the new contract.

The recent tender resulted in Qenos awarding

Toll an additional 200,000 tonnes per annum

from its Botany facility under a five

year contract.

Toll’s success recognises the strength of the

existing relationship and commitment to

work with Qenos to achieve ongoing cost and

productivity targets in the highly competitive

Plastics Industry.

To service Qenos nationally, Toll will expand

existing and develop new operations in

Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

The new arrangement will commence in June

2008 and requires significant investment in

Toll Rescues Zinifex

On 7 February at approximately 5.45am

Zinifex’s transfer vessel, MV Wunma

based at Queensland’s Karumba, started

taking on water in severe seas caused by

cyclone Nelson. As per cyclone weather

protocols the vessel had to be anchored

45 km offshore in the Gulf of Carpentaria

in Queensland. The vessel was carrying

approximately 5,000 tonnes of zinc

concentrate.

The MV Wunma was towed into Weipa where

urgent repairs were undertaken. Toll was

engaged by Zinifex to transport critical

vessel parts required for this repair. Service

Delivery Manager Bruce McDonald,

expediting for Toll Australia Group Business

Development, successfully coordinated with

NQX Freight System and Toll Priority special

‘Hot Shot’ deliveries ex Sydney, Brisbane,

Newcastle, Townsville, Cloncurry, Melbourne,

Wollongong and Tasmania to meet Zinifex’s

service provided by Toll, in particular,

Bruce McDonald:

“On behalf of the GM,

and the whole of Zinifex,

we would like to pass on

our thanks for Toll’s support

so far in assisting us with

our freight requirements

to assist with the repairs

“We would like to make a special note of the

work of Bruce McDonald – not only has he

managed to make it all happen at Weipa and

Karumba when requested, he has also

managed all the specials for the shutdown

and bore pump issues. Would you mind

passing on our thanks to him personally and

let him know we appreciate all of his efforts.”

This is just one of many crucial service

deliveries that Bruce has achieved with an

exceptional outcome. Comments are regularly

received from our major mining accounts on

Bruce’s customer focus and commitment.

Congratulations Bruce on continually

striving to achieve excellent outcomes.

Geoff Kennard

Sadly Missed

Geoff Kennard, 51 of Essendon – sadly

killed in the Burnley Tunnel crash on

23 March 2007 – was a true gentleman

and a ‘nice guy’ according to all who new

him at Toll Fast.

Geoff was one of three people who died after

cars and trucks collided in the tunnel causing

a 15m fireball. He is survived by his wife,

Jenny, and children Sarah, 21, and Tim, 19.

He and Jenny had been married 25 years.

Although his work colleagues said he was a

very quiet man, they all agreed he was the

nicest, most unselfish and happy bloke you

could meet. He was always willing to help

whenever it was needed.

Mr Kennard was working

as a courier with Toll Fast

in Melbourne and was

driving his van through the

tunnel when the accident

happened.

Mrs Kennard said her husband had been

driving for more than 30 years and had only

had one minor accident.

Mr Kennard was a keen Melbourne Cricket

Club member and Melbourne AFL supporter.

He also enjoyed playing golf and playing

tennis with his son,Tim.

He is sadly missed by all at Toll Fast and our

deepest condolences go out to his family at

this time.

Latest Investment in Toll Priority Depot

Toll Priority’s new 5,000 sqm depot at Export Park, Brisbane

Airport commenced operations in March 2007, after

New 5,000 sqm depot at Export Park, Brisbane Airport.

Out of the Box Solution

Toll Priority TechServ accepted the challenge of safely packaging

and transporting complex and sensitive equipment interstate for

Suncorp, and was commended for the successful outcome.

Specialising in the safe delivery and onsite installation of technical

equipment, Toll Priority TechServ was entrusted by Suncorp to

securely handle considerable volumes of valuable sound, visual and

IT equipment during their office relocations in Sydney

and Brisbane.

Such crucial relocation requires a service provider who can address

any potential risks or damages associated with transporting high-risk

goods. Toll Priority did just that, in addition to being on hand upon

arrival in both states, where they met the freight, scanned and

carefully inspected the equipment to ensure all was intact before

supervising its safe delivery.

“The most challenging items to pack and

transport were the 2.2 metre high racks,

which already had sensitive IT hardware

loaded and were previously configured in

Melbourne,” said Toll Priority DX

Solutions Manager Paul Walker.

• Increased operational capacity.

• Fully secured reception for after hours lodgement and collections.

• Improved safety for customers, staff and visitors.

• On-site cold room for specialised products.

• Parking for 100 vehicles.

• Heightened security with 24 hour video surveillance across

32 cameras and swipe card access to all areas.

This issue was resolved by inserting an INSTAPAK (see picture)

between the components. When activated, it expands to lock and

provide a cushion effect to support the equipment in place. Wrapping

the racks in a layer of soft foam, bubble wrap and shrink wrap was the

icing to top off the smooth transition into the new offices.

The interior of an INSTAPAK between the components provides a cushion effect to

Toll Priority is proud to be involved with

the MobileMuster – the official national

recycling program of the mobile phone

industry in Australia – in conjunction with

Infoactiv – by exchanging full recycling

bins with empty ones.

Initiated voluntarily by the telecommunications industry in 1999, the

program’s overall aim is to prevent mobile phones ending up in

landfill. Funded solely by Australian Mobile Telecommunications

Association members, the recycling service is free to consumers and

retailers.

The program collects and recycles mobile phone handsets, batteries and

accessories from a network of over 1,700 mobile phone retailers, local

council, government agencies and businesses from drop off points

across Australia.

Michael Gilmore – Toll Priority, Tristram Travers – Austrade, Louie Georgievski – Toll Priority and Kim Hewett – Austrade.

Manager Tristram Travers said, “Tasmanian

businesses are increasingly targeting the top

end of overseas markets. A reputation for

quality assists Tasmanian companies that are

selling their goods in emerging markets like

China. China’s ever-growing middle class

seeks out premium international goods and

there are countless examples of Tasmanians

enjoying success in China.”

A Liquid Solution for

Woodside Energy

Toll Liquid Distribution was recently awarded a five-year contract

worth over $2 million annually, to cart bulk liquid condensate

between the Woodside Energy Ltd joint venture facility at Port

Campbell and the Shell Refinery in Geelong.

Toll Liquid Distribution General Manager, Rupert Hussey said that

Toll worked closely with Woodside and Origin Energy to develop a

solution enabling all parties to benefit from the volumes already being

transported by Toll into the Geelong Refinery.

“The outcome was a cost effective solution for both Origin and

Woodside that also helped Toll to maximise equipment utilisation,”

Mr Hussey said.

The Woodside work will employ two 25 metre B-Double tankers on a

7 day, 24 hour operation.Toll chose the short bonneted T404, 515 HP

Caterpillar powered Kenworth to pull a 25 metre tanker combination

that also sports a new suspension package, providing the customer

with an additional 400 kg payload.

Mr Hussey said, “Although 400 kg does

not sound like much, when extrapolated

over the life of the contract it adds up to

some significant savings for our customer.”

Given Toll Liquid’s focus on safety, it was natural that both prime

movers came fitted with GPS tracking via Eze-Trak as well as the new

OptAlert glasses that assist in identifying when a driver is drowsy

behind the wheel.

In combination with the other tools already in place to manage driving

hours and fatigue, Toll Liquid Distribution believes that the inclusion

of Eze-Trak and OptAlert ensures that Toll Liquid Distribution is well

placed to maintain our enviable safety record into the future.

A Chain of Responsibility

Co-winner of the 2007 WorkCover NSW Safe Work Awards ‘Best

Individual Contribution to Workplace Health and Safety’.

Pick-up and delivery driver Ron Christiansen knows first hand the

importance of health and safety for truck drivers.

As a truckie and TWU delegate, at the 477 employee Toll IPEC

Moorebank site, Ron has been instrumental in the promotion of safe

driving throughout the road transport industry.

When the NSW WorkCover Long Distance Driver Fatigue reputation

was introduced to the industry in 2005, Ron worked hard to raise

awareness of the legislation and the associated Chain of Responsibility

(COR) principles.

He lobbied and liaised with Toll IPEC to ensure all drivers at the site,

whether permanent, casual or labour hire workers, were appropriately

inducted and understood their role in the COR.

By highlighting the new legislation, Ron was able to work with Toll

IPEC to implement the development of safe driving plans and a

system of monitoring driving hours.These initiatives extended not just to

the Moorebank site, but to all contractors being used by Toll at the site.

His continuing efforts ensure that regulations are regularly monitored

and are being complied. Part of this strategy is Bluecard training and

accreditation (Ron promotes this for all new employees), which

ensures that all industry standard for occupational health and safety

is maintained at all times.

Through a deliberate strategy of targeting areas within the company

that could be enhanced (such as driver fatigue) or have the potential

for non-compliance, Ron has helped to ensure potentially ‘at risk’ OHS

areas are controlled, monitored and improved.

• Superannuation benefits paid from a taxed fund either as a lump

sum or as an income stream (ie pensions) will be tax free for people

aged 60 and over.

• Reasonable Benefit Limits (RBLs) and compulsory cashing of

benefits will be abolished.

• The concessional tax treatment of superannuation contributions

and earnings will remain at 15%. Age based restrictions limiting

tax deductible (concessional) superannuation contributions will

be replaced with a streamlined set of rules – refer below.

• The self employed will be able to claim a full deduction for their

superannuation contributions, as well as being eligible for the

Government co contribution for their after-tax contributions.

• The tax exemption for invalidity payments will also be extended to

the self employed.

• The ability to make deductible employer contributions will be

extended up from age 70 to age 75.

• From 20 September 2007 the pension assets test taper rate will

be halved to $1.50 per fortnight for every $1,000 of assets above

the assets test free area.

NEWSFLASH

Deductibility of employee contributions to change from 1 July 2007

Prior to 1 July 2007, the deductibility of superannuation contributions

paid on behalf of employees was capped based on an employee’s age.

These were called Maximum Deductible Contributions (MDC). This

cap will be abolished from 1 July 2007.That is, an employer is eligible

to claim a full tax deduction for all super contributions made on

behalf of an employee (subject to contribution rules being satisfied).

The changes are outlined in the table below (based on 2006/07

age-based limits):

From an employer’s perspective, this provides flexibility in terms of

being able to structure the superannuation component of employee

salary packages without detriment in the form of denied deductions.

Sounds good? Not quite, the sting in the tail has instead been placed

squarely on employees in the form of capping the concessional tax

treatment of these contributions in their hands.

From 1 July 2007, superannuation contributions will fall under two

categories – concessional and non-concessional contributions:

• Concessional contributions – includes employer contributions

(including salary sacrificed contributions), and contributions by

self-employed persons claimed as a tax deduction.

• – generally all contributions

Non-concessional contributions

where a tax deduction is not claimed (ie contributions from after

tax dollars, co-contribution and spouse contributions).

Concessional contributions

Concessional contributions will be capped at $50,000 (indexed

annually in steps of $5,000) for all employees, with a transitional

period between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2012, allowing employees

aged over 50 to make larger contributions up to $100,000 (this

larger cap will not be indexed). If an employee turns 50 during

the transitional period their cap will increase to $100,000 also.

Contributions above this amount (excessive contributions) will be

taxed at 31.5%. The tax is levied on the employee or they can elect

for their super fund to pay on their behalf. Note also the limit applies

on a ‘per person / per year’ basis, not per employer.

Tax on concessional contributions in the fund will remain at 15%

which when added to the excessive contributions tax (‘ECT’) of

31.5% equals 46.5% – the top marginal tax rate.

The ECT makes it virtually ineffective, tax wise, to contribute above

the concessional limits hence most employee contributions will be

limited to $50,000 and $100,000 depending on which side of 50 they

are – effectively imposing an age-based limit. Note however, for

employees aged under 35, the three-fold increase to their

contributions limit is significant, the benefits taper off for employees

aged 35 or more.

The above ‘age-based’ limits underscore a broader push to remove

restrictions on superannuation fund members accumulating benefits

in a low-tax environment from 1 July 2007 through:

• Removal of the Reasonable Benefits Limit (a cap on concessionally

taxed benefits anyone can have, for 2006/07 the limits are

$678,149 for lump sums, $1,356,291 for pensions).

• Removal of compulsory cashing requirements for individuals

aged over 65 who do not meet work test requirements –

effectively allowing members to retain benefits in a low-tax

environment indefinitely.

• Lifting the age limit for employer contributions to 75.

HEADING AUSTRALIA

• Extension of Eligible Termination Payment (ETP) roll-overs into a

superannuation fund to 30 June 2012 where agreement was in

place at 9 May 2006.

• Extending government co-contributions to self-employed persons

and allowing a full deduction for all contributions made (previously

the first $5,000 was allowable plus 75% of the excess).

Non concessional contributions

A special transitional cap of $1,000,000 applies until 30 June 2007

in respect of non concessional contributions.

These provisions operate from 10 May 2006 through to 30 June 2007

and will offset the total of all employer contributions in excess of their

MDC limit against the employee’s transitional non concessional

contributions cap of $1,000,000.

Post 1 July 2007, non concessional contributions will be capped at

$150,000 per annum, three times the concessional contribution cap –

accordingly as the concessional contribution cap is indexed, the non

concessional cap will also rise.

In addition, you can bring forward non concessional contributions caps

from the next two years. This allows you to make additional non

concessional contributions up to a maximum of $300,000 in the

current year.

Effectively, this means you can make a non concessional contribution

of $450,000 in year 1. Note however, under this approach you would

not be able to make further non concessional contributions until the

beginning of year 4.

Contributions in excess of the non concessional contributions caps (called

excessive non concessional contributions) will be taxed at 46.5% in the

individual’s hands, irrespective of their actual marginal tax rate.

Tips before the fact – what are your options before 1 July 2007?

• If you currently have accumulated benefits in excess of the

Reasonable Benefit Limits, consider delaying your retirement and

accessing your superannuation benefits to post 1 July 2007 –

excessive benefits no longer exist post 1 July 2007. If you are over

60, post 1 July 2007, then the benefits including the excessive

component can be received tax free.

• Salary packaging and superannuation – employees closer to

retirement age should now consider maximising their

superannuation by salary sacrificing additional employer

contributions, subject to the existing age based limit rules.

• Making after tax contributions into superannuation. Utilise where

possible the transitional non concessional contribution cap of

$1,000,000 available until 30 June 2007.

– Remember that employer contributions in excess of the existing

pre 1 July 2007 MDC made during the periods 10 May 2006 to

30 June 2006 and 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 count towards

your transitional non concessional contributions cap and should

be taken into account prior to making any additional non

concessional contributions prior to 30 June 2007.

– Please remember, once the money has gone into a superannuation

fund, it cannot be accessed until you reach preservation age and

trigger a condition of release.

• It is possible for the superannuation fund to repay non concessional

contributions made prior to 7 December 2006 where these

contributions cause you to exceed the transitional non concessional

contributions cap.

• Don’t forget the transitional non concessional contributions cap of

$1,000,000 is per individual, so if you have surplus funds, consider

making the non concessional contribution in the name of your spouse.

• Reducing tax on investment income or capital gains. Where an

individual is not in receipt of employer support, they can make

personal tax deductible contributions to a superannuation fund.

This strategy is useful particularly where an individual has triggered

a large capital gain.

• Spousal splitting. This strategy is particularly useful if your spouse

will be 60 or over post 1 July 2007. Spousal splitting allows you to

transfer 85% of Toll’s employer superannuation contributions to

your spouse. If your spouse is over the age of 60, then these

contributions can be accessed free from tax post 1 July 2007.

Tips after the fact – what are your options on 1 July 2007

and beyond?

• Look to utilise the transitional concessional contributions cap

($100,000) for those employees who are 50 years and over, or turn

50 during the five year period ending 30 June 2012.

• For employees 55 years of age and over, consider utilising a transition

to retirement pension. This strategy is particularly effective for

employees aged 60 years and over as the pension is tax free.

• For employees over 60, consider putting your superannuation into

pension mode. Once the fund is in pension mode, the fund pays no

income tax or capital gains tax on its earnings and as you are over

60, you pay no income tax on the pension received from the fund.

• Ordering your contributions. Given the various caps in place from

1 July 2007, it is critical that contributions are made in the right

amounts and in the right sequence.Typically this would be:

– Make deductible contributions up to the $50,000 cap (increased

cap of $100,000 may be applicable in some instances).

– Make non concessional contributions up to the $150,000 cap.

– If you wish to make further non concessional contributions in the

current year, consider bringing forward the two non concessional

contributions caps attributable to each of the next two years.This

allows you to make additional non concessional contributions up

to a maximum of $300,000 in the current year. Under this

approach, you would not be able to make further non concessional

contributions until the beginning of year 4.

• Don’t forget the non concessional contributions caps of $150,000 /

$450,000 are per individual, so if you have surplus funds,

consider making the non concessional contribution in the name of

your spouse.

We trust you have found the above information useful in

considering your personal superannuation options. However this

TCL a Winner at the BlueScope Steel

Safety and Service Excellence Awards 2007

On 22 May, Toll Contract Logistics (TCL)

Victoria accepted an award as well as

recognition for their exemplary work in

safety and service, during a formal event

hosted by BlueScope Steel at the plush Swiss

Grande Hotel located in Bondi, NSW.

The BlueScope Steel Safety and Service

Excellence Awards 2007 proved to be an

exciting and rewarding evening for Toll, as

Jeff Newton and his Team accepted the High

Commendation for Innovation trophy as a

result of Toll’s recent initiative to install

electronic locking systems on all new prime

movers.

The patented Electronic Lock Indicator

Systems [ELITM], monitors the coupling

between the fifth wheel and the kingpin using

two sensors and an in-cab alert mechanism

which notifies the driver that the trailer

connection is safe for transport. When an

issue occurs, the system locks and delivers an

error message and diagnostic code which the

driver must resolve before he is able to

continue transport.

Avoid the Credit Card Trap

Ease of obtaining and use, convenience and a high degree of

flexibility have won credit cards a massive market acceptance

and usage. The Reserve Bank figures show that total credit card

debt now exceeds $6 billion.

Today many people get caught in the credit trap and some even obtain

extra credit cards to help them survive however, they are merely

spiralling downwards into the credit trap.

With a little thought and planning you can avoid, or minimise, the level

of debt you incur with your credit card by obtaining a credit card that

suits your financial needs. Consumers who do not wish, or are unable,

to pay off the total amount owing each month should seek out a ‘no

frills’ credit card with a low interest rate to minimise the interest

payable. Those who choose to pay off their balance within the card’s

payment period do not incur interest charges so they may look for

other benefits such as reward points or interest free days.

Kevin Durbridge, Business Development Manager, for Industries

Mutual Credit Union says there are tips for minimising the cost of your

credit card:

• Do not withdraw cash from your credit card – you will be charged

a larger fee.

• Constantly shop around for lower interest rate cards – swap if it

saves you money. Log onto www.cannex.com.au and compare all the

the nominations list, received formal

recognition for their contributions to safety

and service alongside their Victorian

Both the Queensland and Victorian business

units handle the metropolitan, as well as

portions of the regional distribution for

BlueScope Steel for their respective regions.

Safety is the predominant focus at all levels

of the organisation, however, special

recognition goes to all of the drivers and

operators supporting the BlueScope Steel

business.

These operators consistently demonstrate

their strict focus on load restraint, load

auditing, PPE compliance, safe driving and

overall commitment to the Take 2 philosophy

which is indeed creating a safer work

environment for all.

Congratulations to all! This recognition is

something we all should be proud of.

rates available in the market.

• Beware of unsolicited offers to increase your card’s credit limit.

• Always ask what other fees will apply to your credit card.

• Reduce the number of cards you have – this will save you paying

additional annual fees.

• Pay as much as you can off your card each month – if you only pay

the minimum amount it will take you many years to repay the debt.

If you find that due to your credit card debt you struggle to pay the

bills, then consider taking out a personal loan with a credit union, or

a bank, to consolidate your debts into one easy payment and make

budgeting your weekly or fortnightly finances easier.

local financial counsellor or alternatively call Industries Mutual

New Carriages

Recent Chartered train journey from Masterton to Wellington

marked the arrival of the first train carriages on the Wairarapa

Line in 60 years.

Carrying regular commuters, Greater Wellington Regional Councillors

and guests from the Wairarapa community, the four-carriage train

was officially launched in a ribbon cutting ceremony and then

welcomed in Wellington by Transport Minister Annette King, Greater

Wellington Passenger Transport Committee Chairperson Peter

Glensor, Toll NZ CEO David Jackson and other Members of

Parliament and special guests.

The cars are the first in a $25 million fleet of 18 units being

progressively introduced on the line this year. The trains have been

bought by Greater Wellington Regional Council who is leasing them to

Toll NZ and Tranz Metro to operate on their behalf.

Features of the modern carriages include air conditioning, better

lighting, baby changing facilities, easy-to-open doors and a more

relaxing décor.

Councillor Glensor described the train’s arrival in Wellington as a ‘very

special occasion’. “We have waited a long time for these new

carriages,” he said.

“But they are well worth the wait. I believe we will really notice the

improved overall travel experience they provide.

The first train carriages on the Wairarapu line in 60 years. The interior of the new carriages.

Lord of the Rings Link

Toll Rail’s Passenger Services Group (PSG) and

Hillside Engineering beat off international competition

to win the contract to build the 18 Wairarapa carriages,

with their previous performance on ex-British Rail

MK11, Capital Connection and Auckland SA/SD models

proving strong.

“But their arrival today really marks

the beginning of a new era in public

transport in Wellington. Once the rest of

the Wairarapa fleet arrives and the 70

brand new electric trains are introduced

across the region’s network, passengers

will begin to see a real improvement in

comfort and reliability.

“We should also recognise the skill and

expertise of the engineers at Hillside

for producing such a high-quality product.

The carriages are a real tribute to New

Zealand workmanship.”

In other improvement work taking place, some Wairarapa station

platforms are to be lengthened and in some cases adjusted for height.

There will also be more parking spaces, new station lighting and

security, including closed circuit television at certain stations.

A valuable boost was also provided to

PSG’s ‘Ideas’ computer, on which the cars

were modelled and designed, through the

purchase of five near-new high-specification

Silicon Graphics Unix workstations from

fellow Wellington designers WETA Digital.

These workstations were surplus after

completion of special effects work on Lord

of the Rings.

Marlborough Grape Crop

Harvesting of the Marlborough grape crop in the South Island in

New Zealand is under way, with Toll Tranzlink Blenheim deploying

10 truck and trailer units and 25 drivers to transport this

season's produce to the wineries for processing.

Running for about six weeks, this intense 24/7 operation is overseen

by Toll Tranzlink Blenheim Branch Operations Supervisor Lee Thorpe

with the assistance of Dennis Brennan. It will result in about 25,000

tonnes of grapes being transported on behalf of the Delegats, Nobilos

and Cloudy Bay wineries.

“We have a great team of high-calibre drivers this year, with many

who have returned from last year's harvest,” says Lee.“This has made

my job a lot easier."

This year also saw Lee and his team move a significant volume of grapes

from Hawkes Bay to Blenheim on behalf of Delegats Winery. Once made

into wine at Hawkes Bay, the produce is then transported by Toll

Tranzlink as a bulk liquid to Auckland for bottling throughout the year.

Hillside Tackles

Ballast Wagon Project

The new 40 YJ ballast wagons.

A technically challenging project to

complete 40 YJ ballast wagons for

Ontrack, under considerable time

constraint has recently been successfully

completed by Hillside Workshops in

Dunedin in New Zealand.

Hillside Workshops Project Supervisor Paul Beattie said that having

completed work on the wagon prototype in July last year, the division

has managed to average the build of two wagons a week since.

“The hydraulic, electronics and complexity of the wagon is a little bit

more than we’d normally deal with in a freight unit, and the timing to

build them in was quite tight as well,” said Paul.

The YJ wagons have replaced previous four-wheeler units, which could

only run on trains travelling at about 50kph and had less capacity.

These are on a high-speed freight bogie, which enables Ontrack to run

them with normal trains.

“The design was from Toll Rail Professional Services Group in

Wellington, loosely based around the hopper wagons that we have

manufactured for coal,” said Paul. “We got the door mechanism from

Gemco Rail in Perth. It is a hydraulic remote controlled system that

they are using in Australia.”

Hillside Workshops also enjoyed the interaction of Ontrack and its

engineers throughout the design and construction process. “We talked

with them to get the right mix of what was required for their guys on

the ground.”

“There was some up-front design work from them, and then we had

the prototype out for their guys to run with and check.They came back

with a few modifications to that, which was good,” said Paul.

Fully Enclosed Rail Wagons a Hit

A new vehicle-carrying rail service

between Christchurch and Invercargill in

the South Island has proved an instant

success with car dealers, lease companies,

vehicle importers and members of the

public – so much so that Toll NZ is

considering expanding the service to run

each week day.

Auto Express – part of Toll Tranzlink – is

running specially designed, fully enclosed rail

wagons between the two South Island cities.

The modified rail wagons are capable of

transporting ten vehicles each, including four

wheel drives or light commercials and provide

absolute protection against the weather, theft

or vandalism.

Auto Express National Manager Hamish

Turner says that Auto Express offers several

significant advantages compared to road

transport. The covered wagons protect the

vehicles from stone chips, grease and grime

as well as from possible vandalism.

“The wagons are sealed when they depart

and the vehicles are not unloaded again until

An initiative of Toll Rail Locomotive Engineer Darryl Hoare to

recently organise a return train between Mount Maunganui and

Britomart has been well received by fellow staff.

Darryl says our company kindly donated the use of Capital Connection

carriages, which enabled the Mount Maunganui Team to spend at least

three hours in the heart of Auckland.

“The seats were snapped up very quickly by staff members from all

quadrants of the Toll spectrum – including stevedoring, BHP, Owens,

Container Terminal and Shed 12, as well as Toll Rail staff from

Kawerau, Hamilton,Tauranga and Mount Maunganui,” said Darryl.

“The train arrived into Britomart with 310 passengers on board,

they reach destination,” said Hamish. “We

can also offer individual containers for

customers who want to ship their vehicle with

other bits and pieces. For example, with

vintage cars being restored, we can offer

containers to take other vehicle body parts

that can travel with the car.”

Alternatively, where people want that

‘personalised’ service, when they need their

high-value luxury vehicle such as a Ferrari,

Auto Express can meet specialised needs.

Another market niche is moving the vehicles

of people on job relocations, or families

moving between cities.

Auto Express has been a big success for Toll

in recent years on the key routes between

Auckland-Wellington-Christchurch, where the

majority of vehicle moves occur.

An overnight service is offered between

Auckland and Wellington and between

Wellington and Christchurch, and a two-day

transit between Auckland and Christchurch.

It was this success that persuaded Toll to

“We have been running four return services a

loading. However, if the volumes continue to

grow we will consider running a service each

Impressive Health and Safety Turnaround

take honours at the Barista of the Year competition.”

Contract Extension with Heinz Watties

A new contract signed between Heinz

Watties and Toll Tranzlink is the first of its

kind to be seen in many years due to the

three-plus two year term conditions, and

the opportunity for further extension by

mutual consent.

The new contract is a sign of the confidence

both businesses have developed in each

other in recent years. It signals a growing

commitment to each other in the Hawkes Bay

region, domestically around New Zealand and

extending into Trans-Tasman activities

as well.

This level of confidence comes as a direct

result of the improved services Toll NZ has

delivered across the road and rail sections

of our business. In addition, is an illustration

of commitment to the customer shown by the Hastings Branch

Team, led by Mark Allan, as well as the rest of Toll Tranzlink

and Toll NZ management.

Toll Tranzlink recognises the relationship with Heinz Watties is a

significant result for all concerned, and in no small part due to the

Bharat STARS Services Pvt Ltd, a

joint venture between one of India’s

premier oil companies, Bharat Petroleum

Corporation Ltd and ST-Airport Services

Pte Ltd, has won the bid to provide into

plane refuelling services at the future

The contract, signed on 14 March 2007

in Bangalore, is worth US$7 million over

a period of 10 years.

The new Bangalore International Airport will

open for commercial operations in early 2008

and is expected to be one of India’s leading

airports, handling some 70,000 to 80,000

aircraft movements annually, with a projected

double digit annual growth.

ST-Airport Services were elated that, despite

the intense competition from major players,

they have been selected to provide this key

service at the Bangalore International

Airport. This contact win is testimony to the

high confidence level in our capabilities.

ST-Airport, a 67/33 partnership between Toll

Asia and aviation fuel supplier Air BP, was

established in 1996. Today, it is a leading

aviation fuel logistics specialist providing a

wide spectrum of aviation fuel related

services, including:

Working with the UN

A little known part of the Patrick Defence Logistics (PDL)

business is our work with the United Nations (UN) Department

of Peace Keeping Operations.

With the UN decision to increase the UN military force in Lebanon,

following the Israeli incursion into Lebanon, the existing UN mission

in Lebanon did not have enough people to coordinate and move the

incoming international troops.

The quickest solution for the UN was to use PDL under an existing

contract. So after a quick planning process, PDL support to UNIFIL

(United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) started on 3 September

2006 with the first team arriving in Cyprus on 4 September 2006, and

transitting to Lebanon on 5 September 2006.

In all, PDL would have had personnel in Lebanon for 192 days. The

team peaked at eight and for the majority of the time, six people were

deployed to Lebanon operating out of Naqoura (near the Israeli

border) and Beirut.

PDL has drawn people from its own resources as well as Toll

International Freight and Patrick Stevedores to make it work. In all,

a total of 21 people have manned the operation which has been led by

Rocky Hoare in Beirut (who has been there for the entire duration)

and Michael O'Brien in Naqoura.

Neil Gray, UN Chief Movement Control Officer for UNIFIL based at

Naqoura in South Lebanon praised PDL's commitment:

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and

gratitude to the entire team of PDL staff who came to Lebanon at

short notice and in difficult circumstances. You can be proud of their

accomplishments and the professionalism shown in performing a

diverse number of functions, mostly in adverse conditions, in order to

deploy the increased UNIFIL force.

“Your staff demonstrated their expertise, showed dedication and were

pro-active in getting the job done in a positive manner.The PDL team

played a vital role in deploying UNIFIL contingents and without their

presence it would have been difficult to achieve the mandate. "

Carbon Trading – Why Going Green is Good

What is Carbon Trading?

Carbon trading is the term applied to the trading

of certificates representative of the volume of

carbon generated by businesses. If reducing

carbon emissions is not possible, investing in

carbon offsetting to become carbon neutral is

required by:

• Buying and trading in carbon credits or

• Sequestration by investing in forestation

programs.

Currently Carbon Trading is a black market

affair in Australia as the Australian Government

has yet to establish acceptable emission levels to

match the international industrial acceptance

of carbon trading.

How does this affect your

business unit?

Toll Group is a signatory member to the

Greenhouse Challenge Plus and the Energy

Efficiency Opportunity Program. Both require

establishing emission abatement initiatives to

Toll Group is currently establishing the

Australian Government program compliance

event that carbon emission levels with business

units cannot be reduced.

As part of compliance, all communication

Team Toll Shines in Cure Kids

Over 34 teams from a variety of companies last week

participated in the Cure Kids Great Adventure Race, including

a Toll NZ contingent for the first time.

The event involves at least six hours of ‘hard slog’ on foot and by bike

through the Waitakere Ranges and along the coast – sometimes in

chest-deep water.

“Our company’s team, which entailed Bruce Houghton, Mark Thomson,

Andrew De Lisle and Gretchen Stone, finished in a creditable eighth

position,” says Toll NZ Corporate Communications Manager Sue Foley.

“Gretchen's effort was made even more remarkable by the fact she

came in with only three weeks' training after Angelique McCall had

injured herself at the last minute,” says Sue. “All team members paid

tribute to their Leader, Bruce, who did an outstanding job of guiding

the team through the day, ensuring they ate at key times and also most

importantly did not get lost.”

In November 2007, emission abatement ideas

will be presented to the Australian Government

home and in their community to make

their cups count in the fight against

cancer.

Toll Corporate was excited and proud to be a

part of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea,

raising $2,160 in support of much needed

cancer research.

Our Unofficial Social Office Co-ordinator and

Head Office Accountant Chiara Lestuzzi, was

a magnificent host and organiser of the

successful event.

“I was initially hesitant in arranging the

event but once my email got around, the

response was instant and positively

overwhelming,” said Chiara. “I had to

actually ask some people (late responders),

not to bother bringing anything in as there

was going to be way too much.”

Toll’s refurbished kitchen at its new address

was the perfect venue to enjoy the enormous

spread. It looked amazing, the variety, the

colours and the quantities had everyone a gasp.

There was a lot of pressure on our budding

pastry chefs. And the result? Perfection.

Definitely no evidence of any amateurs, with

a fabulous line-up of traditional favourites

including cheesecake (apparently the low fat

type), rumballs (less the rum), caramel slice

(for the authentic sweet tooth), scones (with

loads of cream and jam) and the deadly mint

slice (pure decadence), just to name a few.

competitors were so determined to create choppy conditions.

Both teams reported that the bike leg felt fast on the way out, but found

out why at the turn around as they discovered that the fantastic tail wind
