Design principles

The design of Paga Hill Estate is governed by three guiding principles: inclusive, connected and landmark. Their bold pursuit will make for a vibrant focal point for everyone to enjoy, providing seamless access between zones, presenting a new and progressive image of PNG to the world.

Inclusive Leveraging its natural position on a point, Paga Hill will move away from the gated communities now commonplace in Port Moresby, establishing itself as truly inclusive – a focal point for Paga Hill residents, city residents, tourists and visitors alike.

The site will be one for all to enjoy, a vibrant hub and focal point for the city, and more importantly, an icon of a modern and progressive PNG. Connected Within a 500 metre radius, residents and visitors will be able to connect with the full range of spaces and activities on offer.

Connected to the waterfront – whether it be strolling along the promenade from the city centre all the way around to Ela Beach, directly accessing the Estate via one of its marinas, or enjoying the spectacular views on offer, people will be able to connect with the waterfront like never before.

Connected to the world – with a planned cruise liner terminal and on-site hotels, Paga Hill will be a destination for tens of thousands of international visitors. World class shopping facilities will connect residents to global brands, providing a premier retail experience.

Connected to culture – with a Cultural Centre showcasing PNG’s 22 provinces, Paga Hill Estate will connect visitors to local and outlying PNG culture. Rejuvenated WWII relics will provide a connection to the site’s history. The green, active and passive open spaces linking these features will provide additional opportunities for cultural expression, whether it be through open air concerts, meeting spaces or quiet reflection. Best of all; it will evolve over time, providing dynamic spaces that deliver experiences worth sharing. Landmark Paga Hill Estate will be a place that is recognised internationally and loved locally. It will dynamically evolve, forging a unique identity that acknowledges its past, but embraces a promising, global future.

With its broad appeal, range of amenities, acknowledgement of past and future-proofed infrastructure, Paga Hill Estate will become an icon of a modern, progressive Papua New Guinea.
