Question
How much has been spent on upgrading or refurbishing the Welsh Government's building at Cathays Park over the last five years?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Finance and Local Government
Expenditure on upgrading or refurbishing the Welsh Government’s building at Cathays Park over the last five financial years to date is £14,057,637.
The capital projects delivered include essential investment required to maintain / improve the condition, compliance and performance of our buildings – including decarbonisation projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the estate (e.g. solar PV; LED lighting; EV charging etc.) and enhancing biodiversity.
In more recent years capital works have also been aligned with the predicted future use of our estate - in particular, the rationalisation of WG operations to facilitate anticipated sub-tenancy arrangements with other public sector organisations.
