It is an integral and core component of TLTB’s function to advise, inform and create awareness on issues relating to iTaukei land administration. No doubt, TLTB will continue to advance these discussions with all iTaukei landowners and stakeholders through available platforms.
 

The Greater West Landuse Master Plan boundary stretches from Galoa in Serua to Korovou in Tailevu along the corridor of the Kings Road and Queens Road; from the high water mark to the road and 10km inland from these highways for the purpose of strategically allocating and apportioning land uses for development, conservation and other land use types.

It has come to TLTB’s attention that a group of individuals have been facilitating the issuance of  itaukei land leases under cover of TLTB documentation.

This is TLTB's response to Hon. Niko Nawaikula referred to a number of land issues at Denarau (Nadi), Waiqanake (Rewa), Vatulele (Nadroga) and Dama in Bua saying that the landowners’ rights and their interests have been neglected and abused by TLTB.

Arrears are the non-payment of lease rentals which has always been a major area of concern for TLTB. At the moment, 8,833 tenants out of the 45,205 TLTB tenants are not paying their rent on time and are now in arrears.

I encourage all landowners to start to think differently –– and bigger –– when it comes to your development and nosiness ventures. Our economy is diversifying, our industries are evolving and new opportunities are arising.

 

The extraction of soil from the tokatoka land by landowning unit member Mr Sokonaia Ragose and contractor Mr Tony Herbert was illegal and TLTB will intervene to pursue the necessary payments to the landowners by either C.P.

TLTB re-assures its stakeholders and the public at large that it has a zero tolerance policy on unlawful dealings and remains committed to continue to uphold this position in the best interest of all its stakeholders.
