There is no space. Every Saturday the market is chalk-a-block. We need to have space to mingle and trade. We will have 6000 sq metres compared to the 4000 we have now.

Cabinet approved for the new site to be located at the old golf course in Nausori.

The current market has 800 stalls and is deemed to be overcrowded especially on Saturdays.
