Apia, SAMOA \u2013 16 February 2024<\/strong> – The Office of the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly (OCLA), together with the Australian High Commission, hosted a pre-tender site visit earlier this week for shortlisted contractors bidding for the construction of Samoa\u2019s new Legislative Assembly Offices (LAO).<\/p>\n

The construction of the LAO is intended to deliver a modern, functional, and cost-effective building that is appropriately fitted out to meet the 21st century needs of Samoa\u2019s parliamentary processes and support the institutions that improve democratic governance.<\/p>\n

Funded by the Australian Government, and designed by the Alexander and Lloyd Group, the new building design is based on extensive consultations with OCLA, as well as groups such as Nuanua o le Alofa, ensuring the new building incorporates principles of universal access, energy efficiency, and climate resilience.<\/p>\n

Experts from Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade\u2019s development procurement section, project consultants Alexander and Lloyd Group, and construction specialists PML & Associates with potential builders for the project.<\/p><\/div>\n

The site visit at Mulinu\u2019u saw experts from Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade\u2019s development procurement section, project consultants Alexander and Lloyd Group, and construction specialists PML & Associates come together with the potential builders to familiarise themselves with the site and learn about its cultural significance from the Government of Samoa.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with our previous support for the construction of Samoa\u2019s Parliament Building, this new project demonstrates Australia\u2019s continued commitment to its partnership with the Samoan Government \u2013 supporting a legislative environment that is transparent, efficient, and responsive to the needs of Samoa\u2019s people,\u201d said His Excellency Mr William Robinson, Australia\u2019s High Commissioner to Samoa.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to commence in June 2024, and is expected to take 18 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
