Local ordinances, which have been updated, can also be found by using a search engine. Many are in English and the ones which are in Dutch will be translated. All ordinances will be posted as soon as they become available. Information on the upcoming elections of the Island Council in October is available as well as information about the current governing structure on the island.

“It is wonderful that St. Eustatius wil have a website to be proud of. A website which is attractive and informative at the same time”, said Government Commissioner Marnix van Rij.

Dynamic

Deputy Government Commissioner Alida Francis said that the new site was dynamic and will be regularly updated with current affairs and relevant information. The website is also intended to be helpful to local residents who have questions about essential units and departments like the Census Office, Immigration and Social Affairs.
