Cabinet Approves Town Planning Reforms
The Cabinet has approved the first phase of amendments to the Town Planning Act 1946 and its supporting regulations.
These amendments aim to expedite, simplify, and increase transparency in Fiji's development process, addressing key areas such as:
- restrictions on development following the establishment of town planning areas
- introduction of Certificates of Compliance and Occupancy for building applications
- implementation of a transparent schedule of development application fees
Additionally, manual development forms will be eliminated, and major projects will require approval from the Director of Town and Country Planning. Document security will be enhanced through the adoption of electronic signatures.
Consequential amendments to the Public Health Act 1935 will also be introduced to maintain consistency across related legislation.
