Paga Hill Development, PNG

The Paga Hill Estate is located on a small peninsula adjacent to the Port Moresby CBD and is considered to be the future of PNG. The total developable land area covers an area of approximately 28 ha with a 2ha (approx.) elevated summit at 90m above sea level.

With spectacular views, idyllic surrounds, historic war relics and located less than a ten-minute walk to the Port Moresby downtown area, the site provides an unparalleled opportunity to develop a master planned, exclusive development consisting of hotels, resorts, executive residential, technology, commercial, marina and open space precincts.

“With such an opportunity comes responsibility, and despite an enduring timeline, we’ve remained true to our vision of a comprehensively planned, landmark and inclusive development that will transform the face of Port Moresby.” “The site will be one for all to enjoy, a vibrant hub and focal point for the city, and more importantly, an icon of a modern and progressive PNG.”

ERSCON has been working with Paga Hill Development Company (PHDC) for over 10 years and have provided ongoing Civil Design and Contract Administration assistance for the development of the site. The first stage of land reclamation work is currently underway that will create a 9hectare waterfront site for mixed use private and public developments. The seaward edge of the site will include a 700m long waterfront promenade that will be open for public use. Reclamation works are scheduled to be completed in 2023 and ERSCON is now working with PHDC in preparing design options to continue the reclamation works in future stages around Paga Hill.

Paga Hill Estate holds Physical Planning Board approval for bulk earthworks on the site (including reclamation of the sea lease area), preliminary building approval for the complete development of the site including building mass, road networks and intersection locations with the Paga Hill Ring Road. The site has recently been recognised as a Project of National Significance and has received a 99 years exclusive casino licence.
