What Scentre does

Owner and operator of Westfield-branded shopping centres across Australia and New Zealand.

Earns rent from retailers in its centres, mostly fixed rent with scheduled rises plus some based on tenants' sales, and sits on valuable sites it can redevelop. It was formed in 2014 when Westfield Group split its Australian and New Zealand malls from its overseas business, which later went to Unibail-Rodamco.

In one line: Australia's Simon Property Group.
