Welcome to the Isle of Man Department of Infrastructure

Welcome to the Department of Infrastructure. This Department is responsible for maintaining and developing much of the Island’s key infrastructure including, the highways network, harbours and port facilities, planning and building control and the Island’s key Government buildings including the Sea Terminal, Airport, Energy from Waste Plant and Animal Waste Processing Plant. Through its Operations Division, the Department provides a direct labour organisation which carries out essential works to the Island infrastructure and also maintains a highly effective 24 hour a day emergency response capability for the Island.

Headquartered at the Sea Terminal Building, Douglas we also have a number of other offices and depots around the Island such as Murray House, Ellerslie and Isle of Man Airport. The Department also manages and maintains Stoney Mountain and Poortown Quarries and the Island’s waste management measures including recycling.

The Department is committed to providing high quality service to the people of the Island and is continually looking for ways to improve this service through key schemes such as the highways improvement schemes at Richmond Hill and Bowring Road, Ramsey, marina developments in Douglas and Peel and the construction of a new Air Traffic Control Tower. The Department also provides search and rescue services through the Coastguard and Marine Operations and is also responsible for promoting and developing road safety awareness through education, publicity campaigns and engineering solutions.

Following the restructure of Government, Drainage is now to be found on the Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority website.
