To support national policies such as public construction and social welfare, national property is prioritized for use by government agencies at all levels for official and public purposes. The National Property Administration (NPA), Ministry of Finance, stated that agencies, which manage national public use properties and are already using them according to their designated public purposes or operational objectives, may revitalize said properties and generate revenue in accordance with relevant regulations. The NPA encourages agencies to enhance the use of national public use properties without compromising their intended public purposes, thereby creating added value. In 2024, revenue from national public use property reached over NT$45.6 billion, which was allocated to the national treasury to support various national development initiatives and enhance public well-being.

        There is a wide range of revitalization methods adopted by agencies for national public use properties, including promoting arts and culture, environmental sustainability, and operating food and lodging services. The following are specific examples:

1. The Hakka Affairs Council manages the Liudui Hakka Cultural Park Performance Hall, which, in addition to internal use, is also rented out by time slots to agencies, companies, organizations, schools, or individuals for academic, cultural, public welfare, or educational events, thereby enhancing its utilization.
2. The Veterans Affairs Council’s Changhua Farm manages national land in Hanbao Village, Fangyuan Township, Changhua County, primarily for seawater aquaculture. The farm consigned operations through public bidding, providing ponds and technical information to winning bidders for clam and mussel farming. This approach reduces management costs, increases revitalization revenue, creates local job opportunities, promotes eco-friendly aquaculture, preserves wetland habitats for waterbirds, and contributes to biodiversity and sustainable environmental development.
3. The Maritime and Port Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications oversees the Gaomei Lighthouse. After the lamp was relocated in 1982, its original navigation function diminished. To promote lighthouse tourism, a historic building restoration and reuse project was implemented, upgrading basic infrastructure in the area and transforming the lighthouse into an accommodation site. In addition to lodging, the site offers local cuisine light meals, cultural and creative exhibitions, and allows visitors to climb to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the Gaomei Wetlands.

       By adopting diverse revitalization models within the scope of public use, national public use property contributes to local development, environmental sustainability, and the reuse of national assets. The NPA will continue to promote national property revitalization policies through educational training and on-site inspections, thereby improving the efficiency of national asset utilization and creating a sustainable source of revenue.
