Road markings aren’t the only way our team makes its mark on our Island. We keep Jersey moving and its spaces thriving. From managing our open spaces, gardens, road systems, public amenities, and sporting venues, to maintaining waste, sewerage, and recycling facilities, our work is essential. We manage public transport and car parking services, perform traffic management, and oversee the Island’s vehicle and driving standards, as well as procuring and maintaining our Jersey Public Service vehicles.
We enhance life in Jersey, keeping Islanders connected and our Island looking beautiful.

Our team acts as the steward of Jersey’s public estate, managing the strategic oversight, maintenance, and development of government-owned land and buildings. The Estates area oversees leases to maximize asset use, while the Maintenance area ensures safety, compliance, and upkeep. Development is led by the Strategy and Project Delivery areas, with the Architectural Design Team, Project Managers, and Quality Inspectors collaborating to shape the Island’s future through innovative planning and major government projects. This work is further supported by Energy Efficiency and Mapping Teams, driving innovation and sustainable procurement.

Protecting Islanders and safeguarding standards is at the core of our team’s work. We deliver socially responsible regulations across areas such as planning and building, trading standards, licencing, food safety, water quality and plant health.
