Close to one thousand families will benefit from the new Public Rental Board development plans for the Raiwaqa and Raiwai area.

Public Rental Board member, Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo said the new development will see more single units and housing complexes.

This development is through the $20 million dollar loan from the EXIM Bank of China.

Nawalowalo stressed that PRB will be sticking to its key role of providing affordable housing to low income earners and the housing units are part of the plan.
