Last month, the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding – giving Nasinu Land Purchase Co-operative three months to finalize everything.

About 200 vendors will benefit from the project for which government has set aside $1.2 million.

This will include a car park, changing and feeding rooms and a proper rest room, for those who come from the interior of Viti Levu.
