19401950luvuille

1940-1950 Luvuville is a geographical term that refers to a region in the eastern part of Boroko, a suburb of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The area is largely comprised of land that was previously reclaimed from the harbour. Its development is attributed to the accidental discovery of land, which was initially dismissed as worthless.

The 1940s saw major infrastructure projects taking place in the region, including the construction of military airbases and oil storage facilities as part of the Allied forces' preparations for potential Japanese invasions. The infrastructure was largely left intact after World War II. In the post-war period, much of Luvuville continued to be used for industrial and heavy mechanical purposes, reflecting the enduring need for efficient cargo handling and storage facilities.

From the 1950s onwards, Luvuville underwent significant transformations as it expanded from initial two industrial zones into additional secondary and tertiary zones, supporting abundant green fields for housing working families and providing residential, service, and cottage-type housing options. Further cityward facing views complement progressed transportation infrastructure linkages into new zones. Urban expansion of Boroko spurred various long-stopped matter zones.

Post-colonial development of Papua New Guinea, from the 1970s, ushered a more holistic management and engagement approach, influencing the development of governance systems across Luvuville and the wider region. Archaeological excavations were conducted in the surrounding areas to identify and document any nationally significant history. Presently, Luvuville accommodates some of PNG's most important service facilities.
