    Papua New Guinea Trans-Island Highway Construction Project (I) (II) Report Date: February 2003 Field Survey: October – November 2002 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Wewack Indonesia Papua New Guinea Lae Project site Port Moresby Australia Project site Section of the Bereina-Malalaua Road 1.1 Background In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the absence of road links between its capital, Port Moresby, the second city, Lae, and the Highland Province, home to vigorous mining and agricultural production activity, meant a sole reliance on marine and air transport, a situation that was highly inefficient both in economic and social terms. To address this, the government formulated plans to construct a road linking the cities of Port Moresby and Lae that would pass through the Owen Stanley mountains, and in 1979, the Australian government supported the implementation of a feasibility study (F/S) for this route. The plan for the trans-island Port Moresby – Lae highway comprised a stretch spanning 575 kilometers, and included construction of a new 80 kilometer road between Bereina and Malalaua, detailed designs for the 135 kilometer section between Malalaua and Aseki, and widening of the existing 90 kilometer stretch between Aseki and Latep (all distances are approximate). Other sections were excluded from the plan. In the southern Bereina-Malalaua section that was covered by this project, local residents were dependent upon marine transport, a situation that was, in fact, akin to living on an isolated inland islands. It was anticipated that the construction of a new road linking the area with the capital Port Moresby, would make a substantial contribution to economic development and to improving the services like health and education.

Water is obtained directly from rivers, lakes, and other watercourses. At present, Papua New Guinea is undergoing rapid economic growth in forestry, agroforestry, mining, and petroleum development activities. Most (if not all) of these natural resources development activities are conducted on customary land and in and around the environment in which the majority of the indigenous peoples live and on which they rely for their subsistence way of life.
