Vanuatu Land Program Update

The collection of land rent represents an important source of revenue for the Government of Vanuatu (GoV). The Vanuatu Land program is assisting the GoV with this task through the creation of valuation rolls for properties in the country’s two urban centres, Port Vila and Luganville.

A small team of field officers was recently contracted in Luganville, tasked with collecting information on every property in the Luganville municipality. The work commenced in late 2014, and it is expected that the valuation roll and zone map for Luganville municipality will be completed by mid-2015. The Port Vila valuation roll and valuation zone map were created at the end of 2013.
