The Asset Development Division at CIIC leads the planning, design, and delivery of the nation’s public buildings, community facilities, and key government‑backed development projects. Our work strengthens the spaces where people learn, work, receive services, and connect — shaping infrastructure that supports national wellbeing and long‑term growth.
We specialise in the development of vertical and community‑focused infrastructure, including:
Government buildings, schools, hospitals and other public facilities
Community spaces and cultural assets
Support for State‑Owned Enterprise (SOE) development projects
Master planning and precinct development
Project delivery and oversight for Government owned building‑related works
Our work complements — but is distinct from — the civil infrastructure responsibilities of Infrastructure Cook Islands, which manages (and builds) roads, bridges and drainage, waste management and other horizontal infrastructure networks.
The Asset Development Division is a multidisciplinary team of planners, designers, engineers, project managers, and technical specialists. Our team play a key role in ensuring that government buildings and public facilities are safe, resilient, and designed to perform in the Cook Islands’ unique environment.
We value collaboration, innovation, and integrity, and we take pride in delivering work that has a real impact across the country.
If you’re looking for a career where your skills contribute directly to national development, this is a place where you can grow, lead, and make a meaningful difference. We welcome people who are curious, motivated, and excited about shaping the Cook Islands’ future. Visit our current vacancies page here. We also offer internships to Cook Islands students and school leavers interested in our line of work.
Our portfolio includes some of the Cook Islands’ most significant public‑sector developments.
Supporting the Ports Authority with planning and development for a safer, more resilient harbour precinct that enhances maritime operations and supports local economic activity.
A major revitalisation of Avarua’s waterfront and public spaces, creating a more vibrant, accessible, and culturally expressive town centre for residents and visitors.
Upgrading health facilities on Rarotonga across the Pa Enua to improve climate resilience. This programme strengthens clinics and health posts so they remain safe, durable, and fit for essential care during extreme weather and other climate impacts.
Advancing planning for new social housing solutions to improve living standards and address long‑term community needs. This includes site planning, concept design, and sustainable development frameworks.
We continue to develop new initiatives across government buildings, community facilities, cultural spaces, and SOE‑supported developments — always guided by strong planning, technical excellence, and a commitment to our national development goals and aspirations.
