CEO VISITS WESTERN DIVISION: A Leadership Tour Rooted in People and Purpose
August 5, 2025
The iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB) proudly marked a new milestone with the official launch of its new commercial arm, known as Qelemaroroi Holdings Pte Ltd (QHPL), and the opening of Taukei Plaza Dua by the Prime Minister Hon. Sitiveni Rabuka last Thursday (24th July 2025).
These initiatives show the Board’s deepening commitment to building sustainable wealth for iTaukei landowners.
CEO Mr. Solomone Nata expressed his sincere gratitude to the Prime Minister for taking time out of his busy schedule to officiate the launch event in Lautoka last week. His opening remarks will resonate in the days to come, serving as our guiding light and source of direction as we move forward.
“We are truly fortunate to have leaders in Government who share our vision — that for Fiji to prosper, the iTaukei people must first be empowered and thrive,” he added.
Last week was both a celebration of success and an emotional milestone, as it marked the beginning of a new realisation — that we, as a people, can confidently step into the commercial space, succeed, and create lasting wealth for our landowners.
Qelemaroroi Holding Co Pte Ltd will provide financial oversight and long-term direction to its three subsidiaries:
1. Qelemaroroi Property Development Co. Pte. Limited
– This arm focuses on land development, subdivision, and acquiring valuable properties for future growth.
2. Qelemaroroi Finance Pte Limited
– This is what we have been referring to as iTaukei Bank — a lending facility that had been running since 2024 as Taukei Development Fund Facility, assisting itaukei start-ups and small and medium enterprises.
3. Qelemaroroi Management Co Pte Limited
– This is what that will be connecting us together in business, especially if you want to set up joint ventures, they will bring in investors and create new income streams.
Mr Nata said the new building is the first major investment under the Board’s new commercial arm, Qelemaroroi Holdings Pte Ltd, and its property subsidiary, Qelemaroroi Property Development Co Pte Ltd, which now leads TLTB’s renewed business focus on financial empowerment and property development.
According to Mr Nata, the Taukei Plaza Dua stands as more than just a modern commercial building—it symbolizes the Board’s transformation and ambition to shift from land administration into active commercial development. The new facility features 12 commercial spaces, each measuring 61 square meters, with two units now occupied by TLTB’s North-Western Regional Office.
Until now, TLTB’s property portfolio has included a commercial building in Savusavu and a residential property in Tamavua. The addition of Taukei Plaza Dua not only expands this portfolio but also reinforces the Board’s confidence in real estate as a key driver of long-term, stable returns for landowners.
“The commercial spaces in this plaza will generate sustainable revenue and open up new opportunities for partnerships. We encourage iTaukei entrepreneurs and businesses to take advantage of these spaces and be part of this vision,” Mr. Nata added.
“Taukei Plaza Dua is not just made of concrete and steel – it is a symbol of transformation and the vision we now carry. It reflects our evolution as an institution, from managing land to creating wealth from it. This building is a bold demonstration that iTaukei landowners can participate in – and lead – commercial success stories.”
The newly appointed directors for Qelemaroroi Holdings are: Mr Alipate Naiorosui as interim chairman, civil engineer Mr Netani Qicatabua, property development management expert Mr Mosese Ratakele, banking and finance expert Mr Isikeli Tuituku, former Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association chief executive officer Ms Olivia Pareti, lawyer Mr Apisalome Matebalavu Rabo, and TLTB CEO Mr Solomone Nata.
