In a recent update, the Minister for the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID), Hon. Maelanga revealed plans to introduce a new vehicle test lane service next year. They have the test lane already. Donated by the New Zealand government. The test lane will modernize the vehicle inspection process in Honiara, making it easier and more effective for the Ministry’s to assess vehicles.
“Officers dont have to crawl under vehicles to check their parts anymore, all of that can be done by the machine”said the minister. The construction of the facility is expected to start next year.
The new service is expected to significantly improve the Ministry’s ability to ensure that only suitable and safe vehicles are approved for use by the public. With the support of New Zealand’s expertise, the test lane will enhance the standards of vehicle checks, ensuring better safety and reliability across the fleet.
Hon. Maelanga expressed confidence that this initiative will strengthen the Ministry’s capacity to manage vehicle safety and contribute to safer roads for the public. The new system is seen as a step forward in modernizing the country’s vehicle inspection procedures.
