Pacific land issues are not only about Indigenous ownership in rural areas. Within urban areas in particular, land historically alienated into State control produced consequences only now being realized. In Fiji, all State land is claimed by communal landowners and such claims were said to be one reason for the 2006 coup. It has been suggested in recent times that urban informal settlements on the qoliqoli (coastal and foreshore land) are at risk and face increasing challenges from landowners. This paper examines a neglected area of urban State /and in Fiji and comments on the future of the urban poor in Fiji if land tenure is unresolved. Pacific land issues are not only about Indigenous ownership in rural areas. Within urban areas in particular, land historically alienated into State control produced consequences only now being realized. In Fiji, all State land is claimed by communal landowners and such claims were said to be one reason for the 2006 coup (Baba, 2006). It has been suggested in recent times (Bryant-Tokelau, 2012) that urban informal settlements on the qoliqoli (coastal and foreshore land) are at risk and face increasing challenges from landowners whether legal or not. Earlier research by this author examined what seemed to be a neglected area of urban State land in Fiji.1 Future plans are to assess the numbers of people living in these areas and to speculate on the future for the urban poor if land tenure is unresolved.
