Land at the south side of Haut du Mont has been transferred from Andium Homes to the Government of Jersey – at no cost – for the creation of a memorial garden.
The transaction passed through the Royal Court on Friday.
In a statement, Andium said the transfer of land was “for the future development, by government, of a memorial garden which is being planned in consultation with the bereaved families”.
It also explained that land being retained by Andium is “currently the subject of an extensive refurbishment programme which will conclude by the end of this year”.
Housing Minister Sam Mézec has previously stated that a planning application for the Haut du Mont site is due to be submitted this year.
The explosion at Haut du Mont claimed the lives of 10 islanders in December 2022, with subsequent criminal investigations being conducted by the States of Jersey Police and the Health and Safety Inspectorate.
Three former Island Energy employees have been charged with gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the blast, and are due to appear in the Magistrate’s Court on 14 March.
Neil Armstrong, Lee Ward and John Wright each face 10 counts of gross negligence manslaughter – one for each person who lost their life as a result of the explosion at the Andium-run Haut de Mont flats.
