Nabouwalu is set to be transformed into a planned and economically viable township following Cabinet’s in-principle approval of the proposed development pathway under the Government’s New Town Development Programme.
The plan includes a two-stage model comprising Government-led infrastructure development followed by private and landowner-led commercial development.
The initiative aims to support regional growth, investment, and employment opportunities.
A structured leasing framework will be put in place to support the involvement of Nalumatua Holdings Limited, a landowner-backed entity, in the development and management of the township, subject to all legal, planning and financial requirements.
The framework aims to encourage landowner participation, attract private investment and deliver sustainable economic benefits, while ensuring the Government maintains oversight of planning and regulatory responsibilities.
