The site at Bush Wara in Port Moresby is being cleared by the owner, Nambawan Super Ltd - the superannuation provider, which wants to develop the site.

Bush Wara has been home to about 5,000 people who had built permanent structures on the site and have been pleading they had no where else to go.

RNZ Pacific's Don Wiseman spoke with our correspondent in PNG, Scott Waide on Friday.
