The Housing Authority will work with the Government on our five-year Land Development Plan to ensure that we go into more sites and provide higher number of lot yields, says chief executive officer Ritesh Singh.
“With the support of our board and our line minister who is experienced, has spent considerable time at Housing Authority and is fully aware of the housing needs of our people, let me assure you, that my team at Housing Authority will get into many more such projects and even bigger ones in the near future,” said Mr Singh.
He made the comments at the groundbreaking ceremony for Housing Authority’s Mokosoi Housing subdivision in Deuba on Wednesday.
Minister for Housing Maciu Katamotu Nalumisa officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony at the new Mokosoi Housing subdivision.
Mr Singh thanked the minister for his presence and highlighted the organisation’s intentions to work collaboratively with the new government.
“To all our stakeholders, contractors, utility providers and our permanent secretary present on site on day 1 of his new added responsibility, thank you for your support,” Mr Singh added.
Additionally, Mr Singh mentioned that “this development will feature our first female engineer to contract, Ms Sheemal Nadan”.
The Housing Authority is also reportedly undertaking internal business transformation initiatives by way of having the right staff in the right roles, rolling out digital platforms for customers and streamlining processes and services delivery.
“And above all that, we will stick to our core business, which is helping Fijians in the low to medium income segment to own their first homes,” he said.
