A proposal is to be lodged by Deputy Rob Duhamel which will help to pave the way for the gasworks car park and Talman land opposite the Odeon Cinema to become the long-awaited public open space.
The Deputy will ask the House to back a move to agree that the trust be incorporated by statute and established for the purposes of holding land, raising funds, developing and operating the Millennium Town Park project.
At the heart of the proposals would be a commitment that the States reimburse the costs of remedial work on the polluted gasworks car park site, although the trust would organise the work.
It is proposed that the site will then be developed using private finance, with the income from the car park used to repay the borrowing and to maintain the park and car park.
