VANUA
Vanua OS · vanua = land

The land stays with the mataqali. The use of it should not sit idle.

91% of Fiji is iTaukei land. It cannot be sold. Vanua OS is the operating system landowners use to reserve, lease, formalise or partner — and to organise consent evidence for independent review.

Why landowners need their own OS

Owning the land has not meant controlling the outcome.

91%
of Fiji is iTaukei land administered by TLTB. It can be leased, not sold.
75%
of people below the basic-needs poverty line are iTaukei — owners who still live poor.
32,762
active residential leases now outnumber agricultural leases. Housing is already the land use.
250+
informal settlements sit on land someone owns. Value drops until the unit decides.

What Vanua OS does

Five jobs a landowning unit actually has to finish.

01

Know the qele

Parcels, hectares, reserve / vacant / leased / occupied — one book the unit can stand behind.

02

Record the vanua

Bose dates, who consented, who objected. TLTB stalls when this is missing.

03

Choose a deal

Lease, revenue share, equity JV, staged JV, or community trust. Modelled on the same facts.

04

Track TLTB

Enquiry → consultation → offer → registered lease. One file per parcel.

05

Plan with occupants

Record discussion options and required advice. No relocation, rights or housing decision is made by this tool.

Split

Not Fiji Homes

Vanua OS is for owners. Fiji Homes is for buyers and the build. The books talk; the mandates stay separate.

Partnership structures

Explore the structure before the commitment.

1

Lease only

Premium + annual rent at 6–8% of UCV.

2

Revenue share

Lease plus a cut of lot sales.

4

Staged JV

Grow the stake when the first phase sells.

5

Community trust

Returns to school, water, church, village works.

Red lines

  • No sale of iTaukei land
  • Reserve stays reserved unless the unit de-reserves
  • Nothing binds before a lawyer and TLTB
