Madang sets K9mil to renovate admin complex

By DOROTHY MARK
MADANG is vying for bigger projects this year, one of them is the reconstruction of the K9 million Sir Angmai Bilas Complex.
The project has been planned and scoped at the Ramu Development Foundation, which is the business arm of the Madang government.
Project planner Andrew Hawek said he was working on the office complex, which was first constructed in the 1970s and since then no major renovation had been done.
“The three-level administration complex was allocated K9 million which we are working on at the moment,” Hawek said.
Madang Governor Peter Yama and the provincial assembly last year passed a budget which included the K9 million for the office complex.
Yama said at the time that it was time the administration buildings changed its current settings to a modern building.
He said working in a good and new environment would inspire public servants to perform better.
Hawek said other infrastructures the Ramu Development Foundation was working on were the construction of six district headquarters for the six districts in the province, 17 LLG chambers and 2000 low-cost homes for average wages earners.
He said the homes would be constructed at potion 119c, near the Pacific Marine Industrial Zone Centre.
Hawek said many people in Madang needed affordable homes and the provincial government was trying its best through the RDF office to provide homes for its people.
He said Madang would be getting a police mobile squad so a barracks for the mobile squad officers would be built at Mugil in the north road.
Yama said Madang had big business coming up and needed a police mobile unit base.
