The process
Cuvu Settlement advisory councillor Khaiyum Dean said he was grateful to the FijiFirst Government which started the project.
“Upon registration, applicants will be provided with a copy of their lease form for their reference,” he said.
Application letters will be hand-delivered directly to each household within the Cuvu Settlement from tomorrow.
A ministry representative will guide applicants through the process, answer questions and receive completed forms on-site.
Successful applicants will receive official offer letters in July, marking a pivotal moment in their journey toward securing land ownership.
