The Housing Ministry has received National Assembly approval for the sum of $2.8B to continue its housing projects.
Minister Collin Croal told the Committee of Supply on Monday that there are 18 areas countrywide with ongoing developmental works for new housing schemes or newly allocated lands, that will benefit from the sums.
“The $2.8 billion being asked at this time is part of the costs that will go towards the ongoing contracts that we’ve signed to the tune of $14.3 million, and all of the areas are for new openings.
So, some would have commenced last year, on the last emergency budget, and continued into this year and the others are for the opening of new lands for allocations that have been made, including applications that were made under the APNU.”
Some of these areas include Experiment, Diamond, Providence, Hampshire, Cornelia Ida, and Edinburgh.
The Minister said the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) will continue executing works to meet the PPP/C Government’s manifesto target of allocating a minimum of 10,000 house lots per year.
