WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 27th OCTOBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd NOVEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether any assessment has been carried out to establish the cost of fully repairing the Victoria Marine Lake and, if so, what the estimated cost is; and if not, why not?"
Answer
An assessment to establish the cost of fully repairing the Victoria Marine Lake was carried out in 2024, and the estimated costs were subsequently updated in 2025 to account for inflation. These figures are commercially sensitive. However, since the listing of the lake wall, a new assessment is now required. The listing status changes both the nature and scope of the works, as heritage planning requirements mean that the sprayed concrete layer must be removed rather than overlaid. This will result in a revised specification and therefore new costings.
