AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 minutes ago

Energy & Infrastructure: Construction has started on a 22-kilometre transmission line linking the Tina River Hydropower Facility to Honiara’s Lungga Power Station, aiming to bring up to 15MW of renewable power and cut reliance on diesel; the project is backed by Australia (about SBD$180m) and is expected to finish in early 2028. Mining Reform: The Government says a new Mineral Resources Bill will let Solomon Islands take up to a 25% stake in major mining projects, introduce “No Pay, No Ship” export rules, reserve alluvial mining for Solomon Islanders, and add two new labs to verify mineral exports. Governance & Land: Five land-sector Bills are set to be introduced, covering customary land governance, land dispute resolution, a national housing push, a land information system, and coastal and marine governance. Public Finance Oversight: PAC has paused MID’s supplementary budget review after figure mismatches between the ministry and the 2026 Bill, ordering reconciliation with the Ministry of Finance. Agriculture Jobs Push: Agriculture plans include new cocoa and coconut plantations (10,000 hectares target) plus posting agriculture officers to all constituencies. Education: Fee-free education is set to roll out nationwide in 2027. Markets & Roads: Seghe Market construction is 75% complete, and Honiara’s second road corridor is moving via feasibility and detailed design procurement. Maritime Works: Kirakira Wharf in Makira-Ulawa is at 90% completion, with finishing works expected by month-end. Accountability Watch: Transparency SI is calling for “No Work, No Pay” to be enforced after an Auditor General report found about $1bn paid for absenteeism. Remembering: Red Beach Community held a memorial for 64 people who disappeared aboard RCS Melanesia in 1958.
