SIRUF welcomes govt's decision

SIBConline news, 23 January, 2007 - 10:42am. Sport

SOLOMON Islands Rugby Union Federation (SIRUF) has welcomed the supports shown by responsible bodies in approving the proposed million dollar stadium at Town Ground. These included the National Government, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Survey and Honiara City Council.

SIRUF President, Jay Kabei said it is a huge breakthrough not only for rugby but other sports in the country.

"I feel honored that the government, Honiara City Council and Ministry of Lands have supported us." A big thing, not for rugby but the country as it is a national project," Kabei said.

He said SIRUF had already received letters of approval from these responsible organisations.The president expects work to start soon when the list of building items are cleared at Custom and detail plan is handed to Honiara Town and Country Planning Board (HTCPB) for consideration.

"Preparation still go ahead. If everything go through then work should start at anytime," Kabei said.

China United Corporation Company, which signed the agreement with SIRUF on July 26 last year, will still develop the stadium, he said. The signing became fruitful after the developer agreed to pay the federation SBD$100,000 for unvalued premium at the signing of the deed.

Under the agreement between the two parties, China Cooperation will construct a multi-million dollar stadium for SIRUF and develop a commercial area of 13,000 square metres around the area.This commercial area will see the construction of 350 meters by 22 metres double story commercial buildings and amenities.

Earlier Department of Lands permanent secretary Charles Viva said the minister made the decision after various consultations with the Honiara City Mayor Alfred Maetia. He said the minister considered the interest of the public but eventually a decision had to be made in the best interest of development of the city."He has consulted the mayor of the city council and several criteria were used to assist in the decision.

"The first decision is based on the concern for youth. Often youth related developments were overlooked as the focus is on major developments that are not youth related."With more than 50 per cent of our population being youth, we must not ignore the fact as this is the most volatile group in any society," Mr Viva said.

The other criteria he highlighted were whether the development would generate employment opportunities, which indigenous Solomon Islanders could benefit from.

"In consideration of the nature of development that will take place in Town Ground, employment opportunity will increase and Solomon Islanders will benefit much in the development," Mr Viva said.

Finally, he said it is the desire of the city council to improve the artistic beauty of the city with modern facilities and good landscape."We are too familiar with the fact that Town Ground had been neglected and no one took responsibility for its up keep and maintenance. It is a no man’s land. "While it is open, its has low usage as only once or twice a year it is used for activities such as trade show," Mr Viva said.
