Construction has officially commenced on the Malu’u Temporary Market Building last week, a key part of the Malu’u Market Redevelopment Project funded by Australia. This temporary building will provide a dedicated space for market vendors to operate while the new market is under construction. The temporary market ensures that local vendors can continue their businesses without disruption during the transition period.
The Malu’u Market Redevelopment Project is set to transform the local economy in North Malaita, providing a modern, accessible, and well-equipped marketplace for the community.
The new market, once completed, will accommodate 100-150 vendors and feature dedicated storage spaces, separate toilets and showers for men and women, and full accessibility for wheelchair users. This includes accessible entrances, toilets, showers, and market stalls, ensuring inclusivity for all members of the community.
The Early Works contract for the temporary market has been awarded to Alrico Constructions, a local company, highlighting the project’s commitment to supporting local businesses and employment. The involvement of Alrico Constructions underscores the importance of community engagement and local expertise in the successful delivery of this transformative project.
As construction progresses, the community eagerly anticipates the completion of both the temporary and permanent facilities, which promise to enhance economic opportunities and improve the overall market experience for everyone in Malu’u.
