A LIST is being compiled of State-owned land and buildings which could be sold or developed in partnership with the private sector to provide housing, schools and childcare facilities.
The Government plans to draw on a massive landbank held by local authorities, the Office of Public Works and other State agencies to provide key services needed for proper development of villages, towns and cities.
Local authorities control hundreds of hectares of land across the State, much of which was bought for housing over the past decade but is currently lying idle.
The move could also involve neighbouring land banks held by different agencies being merged before being sold or developed.
