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

Cadets will remain in the region and relocate to the new tri‑service Cadet depot in Launceston or to a new lease at a community venue or school. Defence will engage with potential venues to facilitate this.
