The Kairuku-Hiri Electoral Office in conjunction with District offices and the Joint District Planning (JDP) and Budget Priorities Committee (BPC) administers all projects. The JDP and BPC considers and approves all proposed development projects and disburses funds under its jurisdiction to implement them.
The planned Central City at Bautama near Port Moresby will be a major advancement for the people of Kairuku-Hiri and Central Province at large. The Central City will feature modern buildings and facilities, shopping centres, accommodation and amenities for the general public.
Infrastructure is currently under a major rehabilitation programme. A number of projects on water, electricity, communication and roads are underway to improve the general infrastructure. These development plans include upgrading of all feeder roads to all-weather standard, building additional classrooms, teachers' houses and libraries, better aid posts and health centre facilities and improving the water supply systems.
The Hiri district is fortunate to have access to good roads and electricity due to its close proximity to Port Moresby. Kairuku, on the other hand has limited access. Therefore, development plans for a mini-hydro power station and solar-powered street lighting will be implemented to light up Bereina Station and the rest of Kairuku district. With the current mobile telecommunication services installed by Digicel and Telikom, the people of Kairuku-Hiri are able to keep in touch with friends and relatives in remote areas especially through the Digicel network. Landlines are also used where telephone cables run as well as two-way radios, which are very helpful for emergency purposes. The national television network (EMTV) is able to reach most Hiri villages whereas the coverage will have to be extended further into the other isolated Kairuku and Hiri villages.
There are two national highways in Kairuku-Hiri. Magi Highway starts from 6 Mile and extends into the Rigo and Abau Districts while Hiritano Highway begins at Laloki and joins the trans-highway to Gulf Province. Remote areas connect to the main highways through several national and provincial feeder roads. Other west-coast villages not linked to the main highways are accessed via Papa/LeaLea and Porebada roads. Passenger vehicles such as open back trucks, 15 or 25 seater mini vans and coaster buses are commonly used for transportation into the city. Other modes of transportation by sea or rivers include outboard motor boats and locally made dug-out canoes, while isolated areas can only be reached by foot or light aircraft.
Law and Order is maintained by police officers, village councillors and magistrates, local peace officers or special constables. Four (4) main police stations are located in Bautama (Hiri), Sogeri (Koiari), Bereina and Doa (Kairuku). Plans are underway to equip these stations with motor vehicles and proper uniforms for all law enforcement personnel. Highway PMVs will also be fitted with two-way radios interlinked to the major police stations for fast response on law and order monitoring or for any emergency purposes.
