Island Public Estate Strategy

The Island Public Estate Strategy provides the framework we use to:

  • decide how to meet competing needs for publicly-owned land and buildings
  • develop detailed property and asset management plans to enable the Government to make informed choices about the utilisation of its estate

State of the Estate annual report

The annual report describes the overall performance and use of the operational estate set out in the Island Property Estate Strategy (IPES). It sets the baseline for future reports to measure the performance of the property estate.

We’ll use trends identified to direct future property decisions.

The report covers the period from 1 January to 31 December 2023. In some areas other relevant data is used that covers earlier periods.
