Through the Department of Town & Country Planning (DTCP), the Ministry formulates urban and rural planning policies that are environmentally compliant and that accommodate Fiji’s economic and demographic growth objectives. The DTCP is responsible for the overall administration, planning and regulation of land use in Fiji through the Town Planning Act 1946 and Subdivision of Land Act 1937.
