Nausori Town Council

♻️ Exciting Progress at Nakasi Market! ♻️

Construction is underway for a new Return and Earn Facility at Nakasi Market, providing the community with a convenient way to recycle eligible cans and bottles while earning money at the same time.

Once operational, members of the public will be able to return eligible cans and bottles and receive 5 cents for each container returned. This initiative will help reduce litter, promote responsible waste management, and encourage recycling throughout the Nakasi and greater Nausori area.

The facility represents another positive step towards creating cleaner public spaces, protecting our environment, and supporting Fiji’s circular economy by turning recyclable waste into a valuable resource.

We encourage residents, businesses, schools, and community groups to start collecting their eligible cans and bottles and take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to a cleaner environment while earning rewards.

Together, we can make a difference—one bottle and one can at a time.

Community Awareness & Training on Backyard Composting

Nausori Town Council successfully conducted a Community Awareness and Training Program on Backyard Composting at the Waila Housing Community Hall.

The session provided residents with practical knowledge and hands-on guidance on how to convert household organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. Participants learned the environmental and economic benefits of composting, including reducing waste sent to landfill, improving soil health, and promoting sustainable home gardening practices.

As part of the initiative, composting bins were distributed to participating households to support and encourage the adoption of backyard composting within the community.

Nausori Town Council extends its sincere appreciation to all residents who attended and actively participated in the training. Through collective action and responsible waste management practices, we can build cleaner, greener, and more sustainable communities for future generations.

♻️ Together, let’s turn waste into a resource and make a positive impact on our environment.

Nausori Town Council was pleased to host the Standing Committee on Social Affairs and officials from the Ministry of Health today for a public consultation on the Public Health (Amendment) Bill 2026 (Bill No. 4 of 2026) at the Nausori Town Council Conference Room.

The consultation provided an important platform for stakeholders to discuss key public health matters and contribute towards strengthening Fiji’s public health legislation. During the session, submissions were presented by the Nausori Town Council and the Nausori District Advisory Council, highlighting various issues, concerns, and recommendations for the Committee’s consideration.

Nausori Town Council appreciates the opportunity to participate in this important national consultation process and commends the Standing Committee for engaging directly with communities and stakeholders.

🍃 Supporting a Greener and More Sustainable Nausori 🌱

The Nausori Town Council is pleased to acknowledge the handover of a wood chipper by Recycle Organics, a significant contribution towards strengthening our composting and organic waste management initiatives.

This equipment will play an important role in processing green waste and organic materials, transforming what would otherwise be discarded into valuable compost that can be reused to enrich soils and support sustainable landscaping efforts throughout our municipality.

The partnership between Recycle Organics and the Nausori Town Council reflects a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, waste reduction, and the promotion of circular economy practices within our community. By diverting organic waste from disposal and converting it into useful resources, we are taking practical steps towards a cleaner, greener, and more resilient Nausori.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Recycle Organics for their support and collaboration in advancing sustainable waste management solutions. Together, we can create lasting environmental benefits for current and future generations.

The Nausori Town Council today formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Fiji Public Trustee, marking an important step towards strengthening collaboration, governance, and community-focused service delivery.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting sustainable development initiatives, improving public services, and creating stronger institutional cooperation for the benefit of the people of Nausori.

The Council looks forward to working closely with the Fiji Public Trustee to foster transparency, accountability, and opportunities that will contribute positively to the growth and wellbeing of our community.

Today, the Nausori Town Council together with the Ministry of Multi-Ethnic Affairs, Culture, Heritage and Arts, and the Commissioner Central’s Office commemorated 147th Girmit Day in remembrance of the indentured labourers who were brought to Fiji by the British Empire in 1879.

The celebration honoured the sacrifices, resilience, and enduring contributions of the Girmitiyas whose strength and perseverance helped shape the social, cultural, and economic fabric of our nation.

As we reflect on this important chapter of Fiji’s history, may we continue to uphold the values of unity, diversity, and mutual respect that bind us together as one people and one nation.

“From roots to wings, carrying the girmit flame forward”

🚧 Syria Park Works in Progress 🚧

The Nausori Town Council advises the public that gravel filling and maintenance works are currently underway at Syria Park and Mini-van/bus stand.

Motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution when passing through the area, as uneven surfaces, loose gravel, and ongoing works may pose temporary hazards.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve road conditions for the community.

Today, our hardworking Nausori Town Council team was out in full force at Dilkhusha Ward, carrying out essential drain clearing works to keep our community clean and reduce flooding. 💧🛠️

Despite the weather, these dedicated workers removed debris, cleared blockages, and restored proper water flow through the drainage system. Their efforts play a crucial role in preventing flooding, reducing health risks, and maintaining a safe environment for all residents.

We kindly remind everyone that keeping our drains clear is a SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. Please dispose of waste properly and avoid littering, as blocked drains can quickly undo the hard work put in by our teams.

Let’s work together to keep Nausori clean, safe, and resilient.
