![]() National Capital District (NCD) General Information Administration Provincial headquarters: Port Moresby Number of electorates: 3 - Number of LLGs: n/a Number of wards: 12 About National Capital District The NCD is the administrative unit that encompasses the national capital of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby. While the administration of NCD is quite different to the Provincial Governments, for electoral purposes, is classified as the equivalent of a province, in that it has a Provincial Member, who becomes the Governor of the district. The NCD is separated into three open electorates, however these are not considered districts in the same administrative sense as the other open electorates of Papua New Guinea, due to the wide-ranging authority of the National District Capital Commission (NCDC). The National Capital District Commission (NCDC) is the administrative authority and operates under the National Capital District Commission Act. This law establishes the NCDC a governing body for the purpose of providing municipal services to the entire city. |
