Prime Minister’s ‘Crucial’ Visit At Sydney’s Desalination Plant – Australia Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, as part of his official state visit to Australia, visited the Sydney Desalination Plant yesterday morning. Accompanied by his high-powered delegation, Prime Minister Bainimarama said the visit to the plant was crucial because it would assist the Government in setting up similar desalination plants, particularly in the maritime islands such as the Lau Group and Yasawa. The Fijian Government aims to allocate resources for sustained maintenance and construction of new water treatment plants, reservoirs and reticulation systems, rural water schemes, development of groundwater sources, setting up of desalination plants in the maritime region, and distribution of water tanks in rural areas.
