Proposed, not constituted. No advisory council or Vanua mandate is announced on this site. Representation and decision-making need to be agreed through the appropriate local process.
What we want to make useful
Finding a local service. Sharing a public notice. Discovering work or training. Connecting a visiting boat with a nearby operator. These everyday tasks are the starting point.
Basic listings and essential community notices stay free during the pilot. We will judge progress by useful outcomes and whether the information can be kept current.
A voice in the project
We propose an advisory group to discuss priorities, publication boundaries and accountability. The appropriate leaders and participants should determine representation, including how women, youth, residents, boat users and businesses take part.
Relevant custodians retain the decision about their cultural material. The project does not replace existing village, tikina or provincial institutions.
