Lami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lami is an urban area in Rewa Province, Fiji, north-west of Suva. It was formally incorporated as a Town in 1977, and had a population of 18,918 at the last census in 1996. The municipal boundaries enclose an area of 680 square kilometers.

Lami is governed by a Town Council of 12-members, elected for three-year terms, who elect a Mayor from among themselves. The Mayor's term is for one year, but may be extended indefinitely. The last municipal election, held on 22 October 2005, the United Fiji Party (SDL) won 11 of the 12 seats, ending 20 years of rule by the Ratepayers Association. The new council chose Tevita Vuatalevu as its Mayor.
