Given the special arrangement of NCD under Section 2 of the District Development Authority Act 2014, which excludes NCD from the application of the Act, the consultation provided valuable insight into the unique administrative and development challenges faced in the nation\u2019s capital and how these relate to the DDA system operating in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insights will assist CLRC in ensuring that its law reform recommendations are comprehensive, practical and responsive to the legal, administrative and policy gaps within the DDA system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invaluable perspectives were shared by representatives from NCDC, including the District Administrator for Moresby South Mr. Aisop Mol; NCDC Deputy City Manager \u2013 Regulatory and Engineering Mr. Wavala Leka; Acting Deputy City Manager \u2013 Community and Social Services Mrs. Edith Laufa, District Administrator for Moresby North-East Mr. Davies Kia; and the Technical Advisor to the Motu Koita Assembly Mr. Bri Olewale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provincial consultations, including consultative meetings in NCD, are ongoing as CLRC seeks to ensure that Papua New Guineans have a say in TOR No.26.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/clrc.gov.pg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3027-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>CLRC Team posing with the NCDC Team after the consultations on TOR No. 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Constitutional and Law Reform Commission (CLRC) continues its consultations on Terms of Reference (TOR) No. 26 \u2013 Review of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1717,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
