Fiji's main port in Suva is to get a major overhaul. The current container facility at King's wharf will be moved to newly reclaimed land at Walu Bay and expanded significantly. Once that is complete, the old wharf will be extended and upgraded into a state-of the-art cruise liner facility with a shopping complex. It will be along similar lines to Sydney's Darling Harbour. During construction the project is expected to create around 15-hundred jobs and result in an investment of 520 million Fiji dollars or just over 380 million Australian dollars.
