Under the Government Decentralised Programme announced in 2003 the Office of Public Works entered into a number of leases to provide office accommodation to house both temporary advance parties and long term permanent office requirements. Many of the short term leases (5 years or under) have been surrendered on completion of permanent office facilities; others have been extended at a reduced rent. As the Decentralisation programme has been terminated, these properties now form part of the State's accommodation portfolio. The current status of the leases, including current annual rent, and the staff capacity provided is set out in the table below.

The number of personnel assigned to each location is a matter for individual occupying Departments.
