Plans are in place for new district offices in Daviqele and Kavala in Kadavu, Lakeba, Moala, and Vanuabalavu.
This has confirmed by the Divisional Commissioner Eastern Luke Moroivalu who says that there are also plans to the reconstruction of the district office in Koro Island.
A multi‑agency technical team completed a two‑fold mandate to conduct groundwork for the construction of new government district administration offices and the relocation of coastal villages vulnerable to the effects of rising sea levels.
It was led by the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development and National Disaster Management.
Moroivalu says climate change induced threats to human security has also necessitated relocation plans for a few villages in the Eastern Division.
He says to ensure effective and efficient completion of the projects, the team went out to conduct preliminary works and inform communities.
Moroivalu says the improvement of access to services and the reduction of climate change induced risks help create an environment for sustainable growth and development.
The Office of the Divisional Commissioner Eastern has been allocated $250,000 this year for preparation works for major projects that will be implemented in the coming financial year.
