GPD Initiatives

The LEMIS Project
The Land & Estate Management Information System is a project intended to enhance the GPD's effectiveness in public service delivery by providing it with modern property management tools such as Geographic Information Systems, Electronic Document Management, Revenue Management and Land Acquisition Management.

The Agricultural Land Scheme (ALS)
The ALS, which was launched in August 2000, provided the chance for the cultivators (both legal and illegal) of government agricultural land to apply for a new lease and thereby benefit from the opportunities offered by the scheme.

Sale of ex-Church Residential Property
Under this scheme, tenants/emphyteuta of ex-church residential property that was transferred to the state by virtue of the Church/State Agreement of 1991, are being given the opportunity to buy their home at special social prices.

Legislative Amendments
In recent years the GPD has undertaken a number of initiatives to streamline its operational processes to the benefits of its clients. Considering the very legal nature of the Department's work (that is tightly regulated by ad hoc laws), this has meant the introduction of new laws and amendments to existing legislation, e.g. the Revasion of certain Loands Act and the Administration of Lands Act

Auberge de Bavière Rehabilitation
This project spans a number of years and involves a complete refurbishment of the Auberge de Bavière to make it more suitable to the functional requirements of the GPD whilst respecting the cultural and historical attributes of the building.
