Rabaul District Administration under its road maintenance plan, intends to take ownership of all classification of roads in the electorate and have them fixed. District Works Engineer, Mellie Munulai when giving a progress report on roads said they are focusing on two locations to improve the road network system. This he said, are Origin District Roads which covers all areas within the origin areas including Rabaul Town Roads and roads in resettlement areas including Warena, Gelagela, Sikut/Talvat, Asing and Clifton areas. Mr Munulai said after the volcanic eruptions, new roads constructed in the resettlement areas have expanded the total road length for the district. He admitted this is a challenge to the district in terms of maintaining development infrastructure in terms of roads which allow accessibility for economic and social development. "Without proper road network there will be challenges in delivering services," he said "As it is, all road networks are deteriorating slowly but the Rabaul District Works Sector through its Maintenance Plan will be working very closely with all its appropriate stakeholders to ensure all roads of all classification-District, Provincial and National Roads, are being rehabilitated because at the end of the day, it is the people of the district that are using these public utilities," he said. "As the District Engineer, we will look at rehabilitating all classification of roads as we need to take ownership of projects that other developing partners through the provincial and national levels are bringing down to the wards,” Mr Munulai said.
