ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2010 COUNCIL DIRECTORY LOCATION: Council Office Bowling Road, Levuka POSTAL ADDRESS: P.O.

Box 70, Levuka PHONE: 3440014 FAX: 3440288 E-MAIL: ltc@connect.com.fj BANK: Westpac Banking Corporation AUDITOR: Auditor General LEVUKA TOWN COUNCIL The development of Levuka as a township is a formidable option because its ratepayer numbers alone cannot justify it’s viability.
There is also the limitation in the physical terrain which directly affects the limited options available for the economy to develop, which in turn affects every other event or activity that can be staged in the town.

What remains buoyant is the community spirit.

The only option now available to Levuka is the heritage front that tries to ensure Levuka’s entry on the World Heritage Listing in 2012 so that one can develop tourism flows into the historic town.
All historic towns have undergone the same process of change from a traditional town to a historic town and in the process acquired the momentum of tourist flow that enables the town to prosper.

This is a stereotype that needs to be converted to reality.

What is required is to develop the groundwork that enables Levuka to transform to that level of attraction that can then spur world attention to its listing.
It is a mammoth task to be undertaken both by the consultants at the Department of Culture and Heritage and by the Town Council and the community of Levuka in improving the image of Levuka.

This can be done by improvements in the infrastructure by managing the environment effectively and promoting cleanliness and healthy living.

It should strive to widen Levuka’s economic base and promote gainful employment.

Every other town in Fiji struggles with this and Levuka is no exception.
