Businesses in the Nadroga/Navosa are required to comply with the waste disposal permit requirement, endangered and protected species licensing requirements and the ozone depleting substances licensing requirements.

Minister for Local Government, Housing and Environment, Parveen Kumar says businesses cannot operate without this permit.

He adds all business facilities including resorts along the coast will be inspected as this is a positive integrated approach to protect and preserve our environment.

He urges the people of Nadroga/Navosa to assist in identifying those areas that needs to be addressed.

The Department of Environment will begin the inspection tomorrow.
