Land Registry

The Land Registry is in charge of registering leases that have undergone the Lease Registration Process.

The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources oversees the functions of the Department of Lands, the Department of Water, Geology and Mines and the Office of The Valuer General.

It also works in collaboration with other Ministries, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the Port Vila Municipal Council, to deal with land issues.

The main areas we will focus on, are on:

  1. Ensuring there are fair dealing in lands.
  2. Ensuring that the rights of Custom Owners to their lands, and its developments, are fully recognized and protected.
