The Minister of Local Government, Hon. Maciu Katamotu Nalumisa, graced the official opening ceremony of the Namoli Green Night Food Market and the launch of Digital Parking Meters in Lautoka City, marking significant strides towards enhancing community facilities and urban infrastructure.

Namoli Green Night Food Market: A Culinary Hub for Innovation

Situated adjacent to the Lautoka Bus Stand, the Namoli Green Night Food Market stands as a beacon of culinary diversity with 70 food stalls, including seven cart spaces equipped with washing and sitting facilities for vendors and consumers alike. This innovative market is not just a place to savor local cuisine but a platform aimed at fostering fresh ideas, nurturing local businesses, and fostering community bonds. In a first for leisure enthusiasts, the market offers an ambiance perfect for strolling, shopping, and relishing delectable food.

Hon. Maciu Katamotu Nalumisa emphasized the Fijian Government and Lautoka City Council’s unwavering commitment to modernize facilities while keeping an eye on the evolving needs of the communities, both present and future.

Digital Parking Meters Revolutionize Lautoka City’s Parking System

In a parallel initiative, the Minister inaugurated the deployment of Digital Parking Meters in Lautoka City, aligning with the city’s commitment to adopting advanced technologies for improved urban services. Lautoka City Council, guided by the Ministry, procured 45 state-of-the-art Electronic Parking Meters to replace the traditional lollipop meters.

The introduction of Pay & Display meters and the revolutionary Pay By Plate technology ushers in a new era of convenience. This technology enables users to input their vehicle registration number into the system, with real-time updates accessible to city rangers via smart devices. In the coming weeks, the Pay By Plate feature will be activated, allowing drivers to pay for parking at the nearest Pay by Plate parking meters without returning to their parked vehicles. During this transitional period, drivers are advised to display their parking tickets on their dashboards.

Lautoka City Council remains steadfast in its commitment to embracing modern solutions that elevate the city’s functionality and convenience, exemplifying a forward-looking approach to urban development.
