Welcome to Suva City Online in the Fiji Islands. The Suva City Council
is the municipal law-making body of the city of Suva, Fiji's capital.
It consists of 20 Councillors, elected for three-year terms from four
multi-member constituencies called wards.
This Suva City Council website provides information for both visitors
and citizens. We hope you find the site useful, informative and fun. A
vibrant city with strong community values, recognised for its quality
lifestyle, dynamic investment opportunities and as a desirable place to
live, work and visit."
In this 21st Century our city will face many challenges, to some of
these challenges we will have to adapt, to others we can respond. The
measure of our success will be the extent to which we respond to the
challenges we can overcome.
The second action taken by the Council was to begin work on this
Strategic Plan. This plan is about choosing our destiny, about choosing
a destiny delivered by accident, or choosing a destiny delivered by
vision and purpose.
Whose
vision were we to implement? This is where the principles of good
governance first came to our assistance, if the people of Suva sought
reform, then they would wish to participate in the process of reform.
To this end the third action taken by the Council was to provide the
opportunity for the community to participate directly in designing the
vision.
We have now taken advice from many people, including engineers,
architects, health workers, sports administrators, environmentalists
and welfare groups. Openness and participation with the community are
the cornerstones of this plan. This moment in our history may be more
important to the future of the city than we now realize, it is for this
reason that I ask you all to carefully consider the endvisioned
ideals discussed in this Strategic Plan and I'm also looking forwards
to your full support which is vital to the successful realization of
our vision of the new horizon for the City of Suva.
