(No. B/277) Dr. S. Prayag (First Member for Piton & Rivière du Rempart) asked the Minister of Local Government whether, in regard to the Amitié Football Ground in Constituency No. 7, Piton and Rivière du Rempart, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain information as to the current status thereof.
Madam Speaker, I wish to inform the House that a plot of land measuring 8,881 metre square situated at Amitié, has been duly acquired by government and vested in the District Council of Rivière du Rempart in October 2025 for the purpose of constructing a football ground together with the necessary amenities. Following the vesting, the site has already been cleared in December 2025 and a site visit was carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and Lands to confirm boundary points and facilitate reparatory works. Madam Speaker, the estimated cost of the project is approximately Rs40 million. However, due to budgetary constraints, implementation could not proceed during the current financial year. The District Council of Rivière du Rempart has included this capital project as a priority in its proposal for the Financial Year 2026-2027. Implementation will therefore proceed once the necessary financial provision is secured subject to prioritisation by the Ministry of Finance and the completion of all required administrative and technical clearances. In the meantime, I have requested the District Council to ensure that the site is maintained in a clean condition. Thank you.
Thank you. I think we will do a last one with Mr Apollon. That’s the last question. MAHEBOURG WATERFRONT – STEEL JETTY – PROPOSED REPLACEMENT – ESTIMATED COST
