New step for Bina Harbour

A CONSENT order that will pave the way for development to take place at Bina Harbour in Malaita, will be signed this Friday. Landowners of Bina Talifu land will sign the order.

This became possible after discussions between landowners and government officials last Friday in Auki.Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Rural Development Dr Judson Leafasia said the consent will pave the way for the development of Bina Harbour International Seaport. “Bina Talifu land is the core area of the Bina Harbour Seaports development,” Dr Leafasia said.“The signing of the consent order will pave the way for development to take place there,” he added.He said the landowners agreed to set up an interim committee to deal with the government on acquisition while they sort out their differences.Dr Leafasia said the Bina Harbour Seaport Project is a big development that needs a big area of land. “This proposed development did not take place because of differences between landowners and the ethnic tension.“Both the government and the landowners are now happy with the agreement and want development to proceed once it is signed,” he said.Dr Leafasia said developing Bina Harbour will open up way for other developments. The Bina Harbour Project is subject to a development agreement signed on 23rd July 1999 but was shelved because of the ethnic tension and land disputes.The Sikua Government says it is committed, under its rural development policy, to implement the project in the next two years.The Government had allocated $5 million for Bina Harbour in its 2008 budget.Two other projects in Malaita, which the national government wanted to start, are Auluta Basin Palm Oil Project and Suava Bay township
