An additional 17 new houses and a town hall are under construction for the ‘Atata Si’i community in Tongatapu.
The 22 homes that were initially built in 2023, were not enough to house all of the affected families who were relocated from the island of ‘Atata, following the tsunami in January 2022.
The CEO for the Ministry of Infrastructure, Lopeti Heimuli, told Matangi Tonga that “there are quite a few” construction companies working on the current project.
One of KNM Constructions told Matangi Tonga that their goal is to finish the construction of the homes by June 2024.
A new Town Hall for the village is under construction and will be welcomed by the community who are still using tents for their Sunday church services.
