WELCOME TO THE MINISTRY OF LANDS AND NATURAL RESOURCES

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.
