The Pongi-led Alliance for Reform and Progress Government (ARPG) of Rennell and Bellona province is working on a proposal to develop Tigoa into a township.
Premier Derek Pongi recently made the announcement that his government is behind the historic plan of developing their provincial headquarter into a township.
“We are working on a subdivision plan as part of our proposal to develop our provincial headquarter to township status,” he said.
Pongi also highlighted his government’s plan to strengthen provincial governance by establishing substations in other parts of the province.
He said they are looking at creating and establishing two substations in East Rennell and on the Island of Bellona.
“We are working to establish substations in Bellona and East Rennell,” he said.
His government is also working towards pursuing a deep-sea port at Lughu Bay in the province.
This proposal is part of the provincial government’s plan to address infrastructure deficiency the province continues to face.
It will support the economic development of the province and nation as a whole.
Apart from this, ARPG is also looking at other infrastructure development areas such as roads, wharves and airports for the province.
