Gizo/Kolombangara Constituency (GKC) has officially opened its new constituency office at Kolombangara on Monday 22, 2025, marking a new era in constituency administration and service delivery.
Member of Parliament for GKC, Jimson Tanangada, described the opening as a major milestone in strengthening constituency governance and improving access to services for people at the rural level.
He said the establishment of the office demonstrates the constituency’s commitment to bringing governance closer to the people and ensuring effective and timely service delivery.
“Today I’m proud to announce the opening of the Gizo/Kolombangara Constituency Office in Kolombangara. This is a major milestone achievement in strengthening constituency governance and service delivery. This office is not just a building; it represents bringing governance closer to the people,” Tanangada said.
He explained that officers will be stationed at the new office to support community members with information, assistance, and access to constituency services.
According to Tanangada, the office will serve as a consultation centre for community development leaders, farmers, fishermen, women, youths, community-based organisations, and the private sector.
He added that it will also function as a hub for training, capacity building, and skills development to support local development initiatives.
“On a broader vision, this office will help organise the administration of constituency development programmes, ensure timely coordination of projects, and strengthen support services,” he said.
Tanangada said the office will enhance access to development information, funding opportunities, government programmes, and serve as a coordination point for business, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry support.
He emphasised that GKC remains committed to ensuring development is people-centred, transparent, and responsive to community needs.
Tanangada said that the constituency is decentralising its administration, believing that bringing services closer to the people will add value to development aspirations and support long-term economic growth within the constituency.
