With an aim to improving access to affordable, adequate, and inclusive housing across the country, the Ministry of Housing has officially launched the National Housing Policy 2025–2030.
Minister for Housing and Local Government, Maciu Katamotu Nalumisa says the new policy focuses on enhancing housing supply, improving affordability for low-income households, and strengthening capacity in the housing sector.
He says the policy also reinforces Fiji’s commitment to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 11, which promotes inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable communities.
Nalumisa further highlighted that the key priorities outlined in the National Housing Policy 2025–2030 include strengthening regulation and legislation to improve the supply and quality of housing and rental accommodation, expanding housing assistance through targeted support mechanisms for low-income families, and investing in skills development, housing data systems, and construction sector capacity to enhance overall service delivery.
The Minister states the successful implementation of the policy would require a whole-of-sector approach, involving collaboration between government ministries, statutory entities, the private sector and communities.
He also reaffirmed the Government’s constitutional obligation to progressively ensure the right to accessible and adequate housing for all Fijians.
Nalumisa added the policy marks a national commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind in the effort to secure decent shelter.
