Excitement is building in Marovo, Western Province, as the construction barge for the new Seghe Market has arrived, bringing with it 2,000 tonnes of building materials, plant, and site equipment. This marks a significant milestone in the development of the area, as work is set to begin on the fifth market redevelopment supported by the SIAusPartnership over the past two years.
The market, designed to accommodate 120 vendors, aims to meet the growing needs of the local community while enhancing economic opportunities.
Local company Hatanga will soon establish a presence on site, preparing for construction in the coming weeks. The project is strategically linked to the recently upgraded Seghe Airport, further strengthening connectivity and accessibility to the region.
This development is made possible through the collaborative efforts of Australia and New Zealand, with a focus on boosting local jobs and economic growth. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for May, and Marovo is gearing up for a celebration of this exciting new chapter.
Australia is proud to support this locally-delivered infrastructure project, which promises to make a lasting impact on the region’s development. Stay tuned for updates as construction progresses!
