WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 16th FEBRUARY 2026 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2026

Question

"In relation to the planned redevelopment of sports facilities at Les Quennevais, will the Minister –

provide an update on the redevelopment, including the timetable and estimated total budget for the project;
advise whether there any significant changes to the provision of sports facilities are anticipated as a result of the redevelopment and, if so, what these are; and
explain what plans, if any, there are to locate a competitive cricket facility at Les Quennevais and if no such plans exist, explain why not?"

Answer

At this stage, no funds have been allocated within the 2026–2029 Capital Programme to support the redevelopment of sports facilities at Les Quennevais. Initial scoping work has, however, been completed. This work is intended to inform both the Investing in Jersey workstream and the Long-Term Capital Plan currently being coordinated by the Treasury.

The Island's commitment to hosting the Island Games in 2035 is a significant driver for renewed investment in sport, alongside the need to deliver modern facilities for the public. It is essential that adequate time and budget are built into the programme to ensure that any replacement or refurbished facilities can be delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner.

I have recently requested that funding be made available to progress feasibility studies. These studies will enable us to refine the initial high level cost estimates and project timelines, and will support informed decision-making regarding design choices, including the appropriate mix and provision of sporting activities.

Competitive cricket has been played, and will continue to be played, at Les Quennevais for the foreseeable future.
