  • AUD benchmark bonds as the principal source of funding, including new AUD 2037 or longer maturities. 
  • Green bond issuance, including a new green bond maturity 10 years or longer.
  • Other term debt, which may include floating rate notes, non-AUD denominated bonds and bond maturities out to 30 years.
  • Maintaining approximately AUD6.0 billion of short-term debt outstandings.

QTC will continue to apply a disciplined approach to issuance, including syndication, tenders and reverse enquiry.
