Cabinet has agreed to revert the land where the π π¨π«ππ¬ππ«π² ππ±π©ππ«π’π¦ππ§πππ₯ πππππ’π¨π§ is located to Mataqali Nadakuvatu.
The land size is about 7 acres and was part of the land in Fiji bought by the then Colonial Government.
βIn January 1999, Cabinet had approved the reversion of part of the land to the original landowning units on the rationale that the land concerned was no longer needed for the original purpose it was intended for,β said a Cabinet statement.
βThe operationalisation of the decision took time due to interference from landowning units, delays in survey works, and poor record keeping.β
βWith the survey now complete and registered, the land reserved for the Forestry Experimental Station Government facility will revert to its original landowners.β.
