WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2016

Question

What is the current timescale for the completion of the underground carpark at the Esplanade as part of the International Finance Centre development? Does this timescale affect the viability of Option D, the Waterfront, as a possible site for the new hospital, given the necessary loss of the current replacement carpark on the Waterfront as the development takes place?

Answer

The delivery of the Jersey International Finance Centre is demand led. Based on the demand profiles, SoJDC anticipates the new underground public carpark at the Jersey International Finance Centre being complete around 2022.

Included in the costings for the Waterfront option for the new hospital is the creation of an alternative temporary carpark to relocate the temporary car parking that would be on the site of the Waterfront option.

The timescale of the delivery of the new public underground carpark therefore does not affect the Waterfront option.
