Arawa, the former capital of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea, holds a significant place in the region despite its relocation due to the Bougainville Civil War in the 1990s. Administered under the Arawa Rural LLG, it remains the largest town in the area, situated on the east coast of Bougainville Island. Although the capital was relocated to Buka Township on Buka Island, plans are in place to rebuild Arawa and reinstate its status as the capital.

The town of Arawa is closely connected to Kieta, a small port town also located on the east coast of Bougainville Island. Kieta was the previous capital of the Bougainville region before the civil uprising in the 1990s. The area carries historical significance, as it witnessed intense fighting during World War II between the Japanese and Allied forces. It served as a strategic stronghold for launching long-range attacks, and remnants of that era can still be found throughout Bougainville Island.

In July 2021, the Autonomous Bougainville Government expressed appreciation for the initiative taken by Rio Tinto and Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) to address the legacy issues arising from the Panguna Mine. The Panguna Mine played a crucial role in financing Papua New Guinea’s independence and served as the economic backbone from 1973 to 1989. However, the failure to address environmental damage and displacement of the local population by Rio Tinto and BCL led to tensions between the people of Bougainville, the companies involved, and the National Government. These unresolved issues were major factors that contributed to the Bougainville Civil War, which lasted for ten years.

Even after the mine ceased operations three decades ago, extensive environmental damage persists within the Special Mining Lease and Lower Tailings areas. An ongoing environmental assessment aims to evaluate the full extent of the damage caused by the mine. This assessment will help determine the necessary measures to address and mitigate the environmental impact and contribute to the overall restoration efforts in Bougainville.

Despite the challenges faced in the past, Arawa and the Bougainville region hold immense potential for rebuilding, reconciliation, and sustainable development. The commitment to addressing the legacy issues from the Panguna Mine demonstrates a collective effort to heal and move forward, fostering a brighter future for the people of Bougainville.
