All processes are being followed for the declaration of Nadi as Fiji’s third city by the end of this year.
Minister for Local Government Parveen Bala says plans are progressing well to declare Nadi a city.
He says Navua’s township was also on the agenda and its declaration to town status would also be declared this year making it Fiji’s 14th town.
He says the declaration of Navua as a town would depend on the improvement of roads, market, bus stand and other amenities.
He says currently they are going through the process of finalising the scheme plan and all other processes with the town and country planning.
He adds Ministry is also looking at improving the infrastructure at Nabouwalu to declare it a town in the next few years.
