The multi-million pa’anga project funded by a Chinese grant to the Government of Tonga was originally set to start in November last year but was deferred to August this year after the Coronation celebrations.
A press statement from the Prime Minister’s Office said work on clearing the site has begun. Trees were completely removed from the Railway Road side of the park opposite Parliament House.
No mention was made of the fate of Tongan War Memorial and the iconic band stand located at Pangai Si’i.
