Social Development

In the aftermath of the 7.3 magnitude earthquake on December 17, 2024, Vanuatu is not just rebuilding—we're reshaping our future with a bold and resilient vision.

Our new Central Business District (CBD) will be a vibrant hub of opportunity, designed to serve the people and power the future. With integrated retail spaces, a school, commercial zones, government precincts, foreign offices, and banking facilities, this development will be the heartbeat of a revitalised city. It’s more than infrastructure-it’s a blueprint for social progress. By addressing traffic congestion, expanding housing, and creating jobs, we’re laying the foundation for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future.

Newtown CBD Development

Following the 7.3 magnitude earthquake on 17 December 2024, Port Vila’s Central Business District (CBD) sustained significant structural damage, resulting in widespread closures and the demolition of numerous buildings. In response, a comprehensive CBD Recovery Plan has been developed to guide the city’s reconstruction and long-term social development.

Since its detection in 2019 on Efate Island, the invasive Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) has posed a serious threat to Vanuatu’s coconut industry. The beetle, known for burrowing into the crowns of coconut palms and destroying young coconut plants, has caused widespread damage across affected islands.
