People are and will remain Defence's most important capability. The Defence Estate Audit recommendations will enhance Defence work environments, ensuring our estate is a key point of attraction and is fit-for-purpose for both current and future members of the workforce. These improvements will strengthen the overall appeal of working for Defence.
Relocation
Derwent Barracks personnel will relocate to Anglesea Barracks, 10km away. Personnel associated with logistics may move to a new leased site, in line with capability requirements.
Cadets will remain in the region and relocate to Anglesea Barracks or a new lease at a community venue or school. Defence will engage with potential venues to facilitate this.
