South Pacific Commission

Contract awarded

Captionl A Fiji firm, Architects Pacific, has been awarded the contract to design the South Pacific Commission’s new headquarters in Noumea, New Caledonia. The Fiji architects firm won the award ahead of eight other companies from six countries and territories in the region on the shortlist. The rebuilding of the commission’s headquarters is scheduled to start in May next year and to be completed by March 1995.

But a statement from the SPC secretariat said the conference centre should be ready by October 1994, in time to accommodate the 34th South Pacific conference, in Noumea.

The project is being financed by France, New Caledonia and Australia.
