Housing & Infrastructure: The Falkland Islands Government has approved an accelerated Stanley housing push at Murray Heights, with infrastructure for 60 new plots and 30 modular units, aiming to deliver the government’s 30 homes within 12 months, though it may temporarily delay work at Sapper Hill Phase 7 as resources are diverted. Public Finances: The 2026/27 Falklands budget was tabled at £216.3m under a “living within our means” approach, including a ban on borrowing for day-to-day spending and a reserves rule set at 1.5 times operating costs, while fishing-linked tax pressures and lower investment income shape the outlook. Oil & Gas Development: Rockhopper says Sea Lion has moved into full development after phase one was sanctioned, with first oil still targeted for Q1 2028, backed by senior debt and recent equity raises, plus key contracts for the FPSO and drilling services. Local Governance & Oversight: The Legislative Assembly is set to handle overseas expenses questions and draft Finance and Appropriation bills ahead of the new financial year. Community & Skills: The Jane Cameron National Archives’ Corporate Records and National Archives Manager, Dr Chloe Anderson-Wheatley, has completed her doctorate at the University of Dundee. Business & Trade: Borders & Southern highlights Sea Lion’s final investment decision as a major boost for its Darwin project and broader prospect portfolio.
