Question

"In relation to Project Breakwater', will the Chief Minister advise –

  1. which Ministers are involved in the project;
  2. who is the senior Government Officer on the project;
  3. which infrastructure proposals are under consideration; and
  4. what is the anticipated budget, and from where will funding be allocated?"

Answer

Project Breakwater is the internal name, given for reasons of brevity, to the preliminary policy development work being undertaken to scope a long-term strategic investment, designed to improve the attractiveness of Jersey as a place to live, visit and invest.

  1. The Deputy Chief Minister is the sponsoring Minister for the project, and the relevant Ministerial oversight body is the Regeneration Steering Group, which is chaired by the Chief Minister. The Steering Group also includes the Minister for Treasury and Resources, Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Sustainable Economic Development.
  2. The project is being developed by the Group Director of Policy, Paul Wylie.
  3. The project remains at an early stage of development and no decisions have been taken. A number of proposals could be considered for inclusion in the scope of the project, which are designed to improve the Island's social and cultural infrastructure. The detail of these will need to be considered and approved by the Council of Ministers.
  4. Until the project is agreed by the Council of Ministers, no budget or funding mechanism can be confirmed.
