A major development is being considered for the island of Rotuma.

Commissioner Eastern Tomasi Tui confirms that a Government taskforce arrived in Rotuma this morning and they plan to submit a paper to Cabinet for its consideration in their next meeting.

Some of the major projects include the upgrading of the island's only airstrip located in the district of Malhaha, the upgrading of the roads and the construction of a jetty that is likely to be classified as an official port of entry for international ships.

Tui said the task force had a very fruitful meeting with the Rotuman Island Council which was represented by the chiefs of the seven districts.
