“Until now, the Tavua Town Council did not have a vehicle, whilst Rakiraki Town Council has an old vehicle, which needs substantial maintenance. These two Councils have been facing challenges to deliver timely and quality services to the ratepayers and communities.”
According to Nalumisa, the two councils have limited revenue streams and rely on grants and subsidies from the government and development partners to run its operations.
The two vehicles are valued at over $100,000.
