The North West Santo Area Council is a local government division within Sanma Province, Vanuatu, encompassing several rural and remote communities on the northwestern coast of Espiritu Santo island.
The Santo West Coast Area Council Headquarter office is located in Wusi Village. This new building serves as a central hub for government and administrative services, a cyclone evacuation center, and a driver for local economic development. It was officially opened on November 26, 2024.
The North West Santo Area Council is administered by an Area Administrator, who serves as a liaison between the local communities and the national government. The council comprises representatives from various sectors, including chiefs, women, youth, and churches, ensuring inclusive governance.
In collaboration with the neighboring West Coast Santo Area Council, North West Santo launched the Western Santo Sustainable Development Plan 2030 in November 2021. This plan aligns local development priorities with the Sanma Provincial Strategic Development Plan, Vanuatu's National Sustainable Development Goals, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative emphasizes community-led planning and sustainable development practices.
