Lae MP and chairman of LCA, John Rosso, said residents have questioned why LCA has not actively developed the gardens.
“The Forest Research Institute actually owns the botanic gardens,” Rosso said.
“So it’s very difficult for the LCA to develop it but at the same time, I give credit to the Forest Research Institute because they have been very, very good with us and they have allowed us to use the facilities and work in partnership with them.
