Dear Sir,

Please be advised that the Company Secretary of Leighton Holdings Limited, Mr Ashley Moir, has taken leave due to ill health. Mr Moir is expected to return to work in approximately six to eight weeks.

Due to this prolonged period of absence, the company has appointed Mr Peter Janu as an additional Company Secretary effective 26 April 2004.

Yours sincerely,
