		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1715079</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1715079</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Can idle government-owned real estate become a driver of capital rather than a drain on the fiscus?<br />
 In this special current affairs podcast, North Coast Radio’s Current Affairs Producer Lwazi Manqele sits down with Annette Lindeque, Chief Executive Officer of Intersite Asset Investments. Recorded ahead of the 16th Annual Public Sector Property and Asset Management Conference at The Capital Zimbali in Durban, Lindeque unpacks Intersite’s progressive model for public asset optimization under the theme "Public Assets for Public Value: Digital Foundations, Resilience and Sustainable Real Estate in the Public Sector." Tune in as we explore:The Intersite Model in Action: How transport hubs like Cape Town Station were successfully repositioned into vibrant economic nodes delivering thousands of student accommodation beds. Unlocking Private Investment: The roughly 30 development partnerships representing close to R9 billion in private-sector investment, alongside a major rooftop solar rollout across 12 sites. Overcoming Structural Obstacles: Tackling deferred maintenance, fragmented institutional responsibilities, and unreliable asset registers through modern digital infrastructure—including GIS, BIM, IoT sensors, and digital twins. Strategic Policy Reform: Lindeque's definitive take on the immediate digital and performance-based reforms needed to turn state property portfolios into sustainable economic drivers. <br />
Whether you are a municipal leader, property professional, investor, or citizen invested in public sector efficiency, this episode offers a forward-looking roadmap for South Africa's public infrastructure landscape ]]></description>
