From Kuntu village the road requires leveling and widening for frequent traffic for which funds have been committed by the Mfantseman district, once the construction start. Traffic to and from the island will take place with electric driven boats for passengers and electric golf and freight carts.

Electric capacity is sufficiently available in the area and a power line leads to the property.
