Vicinity Ltd does not disclose any internal mechanisms for governing its lobbying activities, including climate-related advocacy. Although it acknowledges that “Vicinity engages with local, state and federal government directly and through industry groups in the locations where our centres operate” and clarifies that “Vicinity does not make political donations at any level of government, including during FY22, in accordance [with our Code of Conduct Policy and our] Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy,” the company does not specify any oversight structure, named individual, committee, or formal review process for ensuring lobbying alignment with its policies or climate goals. We found no evidence of a policy or procedure to monitor or manage its direct lobbying or its memberships in industry associations, and no mention of board sign-off or dedicated climate-lobbying assessments.

Vicinity Centres provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. The company confirms that it interacts with governments and industry bodies—“Vicinity engages with Local, State and Federal Governments through direct communication, industry group participation and submissions”—offering a broad description of mechanisms such as direct communication, participation in industry groups and making submissions. However, it does not identify the specific government departments, agencies or individual policymakers it approaches, nor does it clarify whether these interactions involve meetings, letters, consultations or other channels. The disclosure also omits any reference to concrete climate policies, regulations or legislative proposals it seeks to influence, and gives no indication of the policy changes or positions it advocates. Without naming the policies involved or explaining the outcomes it is pursuing, the company’s transparency on climate lobbying remains superficial.
