Solomon Islands needs a land use policy, says the Land Use Planning Officer of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Jimmy Walton.
Speaking to SIBC News Mr Walton says the Government did not legislate a national Land Use Policy, adding, his team had initiated work on a national land use planning policy for Solomon Islands last year.
“An we have done a series of consultations, we did two national workshops in Honiara, and we went to the provinces and we did one consultation and workshop per province and we collected the data that forms the basis of putting together a Land Use Policy. So while the Land Use Policy process now is on, hopefully it will be adopted by the government.”
