The Minister for Local Government, Hous­ing, Infrastructure and Transport Parveen Bala will officiate at the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow at a new exten­sion of the Davuilevu Hous­ing Subdivision.

The portion of land that is next to Davuilevu Road and Mataika Street is one of the many projects the Housing Authority of Fiji is current­ly working on.

Housing Authority chief executive officer Punit Sethi said developing more resi­dential lots in Davuilevu was another major project to expand access to afforda­ble housing for low and mid­dle income earning families in Fiji.

Mr Bala recently officiated at the groundbreaking cer­emony of Tavakubu Hous­ing Subdivision in Lautoka, where upon completion, 534 residential lots will be avail­able for purchase.

A large number of resi­dents in Tavakubu were overwhelmed by this ini­tiative and showed their gratitude and appreciation towards the efforts of the government.

Mr Sethi said this was the first time in the history of the Housing Authority that so many projects were car­ried out concurrently.

He said the Housing Au­thority would continue working towards the efforts of the Government, to pro­vide access to affordable housing for low and middle income families and meet­ing housing demands in Fiji.

The groundbreaking cer­emony of the extension of the Davuilevu Housing Sub­division will take place at 2pm tomorrow at the junc­tion of Davuilevu Road and Mataika Street.
