Last update: 3 hours ago

Minimum Wage Review: SICCI and the Labour Division are pushing for a data-driven minimum wage process after the three-day Minimum Wage Setting Workshop, noting the last national rate was set in 2019 and that new analysis will use surveys led by the NSO and the ILO. Roadworks Safety: MID is reminding Honiara road users to cooperate with traffic controllers on Mendana Avenue after an incident of a pedestrian slapping a controller, urging patience and strict obedience to work-zone signs. Food Security & Agriculture: Kastom Gaden Association and Solomon Tobacco delivered 35,000+ vegetable seedlings in Honiara to boost nutrition and small-scale income for households. Special Economic Zones: Western Province Premier Billy Veo calls for reform of the SEZs Act, saying provinces and customary landowners are sidelined from key decisions. Energy & Water Infrastructure: Solomon Water reports major progress on new concrete reservoirs at Tasahe, Titinge and Panatina, moving into testing and commissioning. Mining Oversight: Investigations have begun into 33 controversial bauxite shipments from Rennell, with MMERE and the Attorney General’s Chambers leading the process. EU Trade Compliance: Fisheries officials in Suva trained on new EU freezer-vessel food-safety rules that could affect 97% of EU-listed Pacific vessels. Community Renewable Power: Rae’ao community members thank MMERE for cable support to maintain and upgrade a long-running hydro system.
