The Department of Environment has issued another stop work order on the Great Han residential development on Princes Road.

Following questions being raised by fijivillage News and continued concerns being highlighted by the Tamavua Action Group on the need for proper environmental and geo-technical assessments based on the vulnerabilities of the Tamavua-i-Wai Ridge, the Environment Department confirms it was made aware on 5th September of the uplifting of the “Stop Work Order” on the Great Han development, by the Suva City Council.

In light of this information, the Department conducted its own investigation processes and met with the respective parties, to determine whether the uplifting of the stop work order notice was in line with the Department’s position.

It was established that Great Han had not complied with the SCC’s uplift decision, which had indicated that Great Han can only proceed if the requirements of the Department of Environment were met as per the Decline decision.
