Esa’ala

PM Marape is traveling to Esa'ala by chopper from Port Moresby. He will make visit the town of Alotau before his arrival to Esa'ala District.

The Prime Minister will also be launching the Esa'ala District Community Development Center and the DDA's Police Housing Project.

The Community Development Center also houses a transit home in its premises.

The MOU amount of the project is worth K2.40 million with K500, 000 counter in DSIP funds from the district to the Department of Community Development and Religion.

That was 20 years ago.

Today locals in Esa’ala were surprised when a PNG Air Dash 8 aircraft landed at the Districts Airstrip which is currently being given a facelift.

Locals told Loop PNG that they were surprised but happy to finally see an aircraft land in their home district after so many years.

PNG Air is intending to bring its services to the island District and opted for a test run following a meeting with Minister for Civil Aviation and local MP, Steven Davies.

Discussions on services to the district began early last year.
