REPORT

In 1999, the Jersey College for Girls relocated from Rouge Bouillon to newly constructed buildings at Mont Millais. Since that time, the former school, which has been identified by the Environment and Public Services Committee as a proposed Site of Special Interest, has been used by the Schools Music Service with part of the first floor leased to the Alliance Française.

In common with other properties in the Public ownership for which an administering Committee has no further permanent operational use, it is proposed that the administration be transferred to the Environment and Public Services Committee, which through its Department of Property Services will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the premises and will undertake, in conjunction with the current Review of all States Property, a feasibility study to bring forward recommendations for the future of the land and buildings.

The transfer of administration does not include the former Sixth Form Farewell Wing and Gymnasium which are to be retained by the Education, Sport and Culture Committee for continued use as a Children's Nursery Unit and leased to the Centrepoint Children's Resource Centre.

The Education, Sport and Culture Committee will continue to pay the appropriate allocation from its maintenance budget to the Environment and Public Services Committee until such time as an alternate use for the building has been found. The existing users of the building will continue until such time that the future of the land and buildings is decided when a minimum of 3  months' notice will be given to those users.

Any future financial implications will be fully assessed as part of the planned feasibility study. There are no manpower implications.
