The Civil Works Division carries out maintenance work and is a key responder during severe weather. This work is funded through the Rarotonga Asset Management administered funds.
Civil Works division aims to create and maintain a reliable road network that promotes safe and efficient transportation across Rarotonga. This infrastructure not only supports everyday mobility but also contributes to the economic and social well-being of the community by facilitating commerce, tourism, and overall connectivity.
The Civil Works Division has four roles:
Road Network Maintenance
