Lavongai LLG

This was evident in the number of people who turned up for an awareness meeting on Tunung Island in Lavongai, hosted by the National Alliance (NA) Party branch of New Ireland.

Namatanai MP and Forests Minister Walter Schnaubelt visited Tunung Island for the first time. He was happy to see that locals have shown great interest in economic development. 

Minister Schnaubelt assured them he will work with their local MP and Treasurer Ian Ling-Stuckey to ensure that the existing CBO, Structure Management Team (SMT) work together with the NMT, for a way forward.

Solomon Pela made the declaration in Ungat Village in the Lavongai LLG during a ground breaking ceremony for the 50-kilometre road.

The event was attended by New Ireland Governor Sir Julius Chan, Provincial Executive members, Contractor PNGSJC and special guest Central Province Governor Robert Agarobe.
