refurbished

The Lounge has very modern amenities with excellent acoustics in the pressroom and the Prime Minister also has a private room at the lounge. It was developed as part of the extension of the International Terminal Building in 2015 that was opened in time for the Pacific Games.

NAC’s contractor Butom Services Ltd under supervision of NAC Technical Services Division took two weeks to complete the refurbishment as part of the terminal improvement program to improve service level and customer and stakeholder comfort and convenience.

The refurbishment was funded by the Australian Government through the Papua New Guinea Australian Policing Partnership (PNGAPP) at the cost of more than K2 million.

Commissioner of Police David Manning, thanked the government and people of Australia and especially the PNGAPP for its ongoing assistance to the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. Mr Manning said the Boroko Police Station is the biggest and oldest police station in the country and many senior officers that served at this station were elevated to senior positions within the Constabulary over the years.

Managing Director Henry Mokono said the construction will take a maximum of ten months, under the consulting services of Nakamu Construction Engineers, Journey Architects, M & E Partnership PNG Limited, and Taie Engineering.

“They have been engaged by NHC to give their peer review to our engineers who have done the design works.

“In a few weeks from now this entire place will be demolished and we need their expertise” stated NHC Managing Director Henry Mokono.
