BWP Trust was established and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). BWP Trust is a real estate investment trust investing in and managing commercial properties throughout Australia. Since its inception, and prior to management internalization on 1 August 2025, BWP Trust was externally managed by BWP Management Limited (BWPM), the appointed responsible entity, with 100 per cent of BWPM's share capital owned by Wesfarmers Limited (Wesfarmers). On 28 July 2025, unitholders approved the internalization of the management of BWP, where BWP Management Limited and its subsidiaries were purchased from Wesfarmers by BWP Trust unitholders through a new entity, BWP Property Group Limited (BWP Property Group). This resulted in the formation of a stapled group comprising BWP and BWP Property Group (the Group). BWP is managed by the responsible entity, BWP Management Limited (the Responsible Entity or the RE), now a subsidiary of BWP Property Group, which is appointed under the Trust's constitution and operates under an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL). The responsible entity is solely committed to managing the respective trusts and during the 2024/25 financial year a quarterly fee was paid based on the gross assets of the respective trusts. Most of the Group's properties are well located large format retailing properties, in particular, Bunnings Warehouses leased to Bunnings Group Limited (Bunnings or BGL).
