The New Longwoodshire Settlement Scheme was a plan by the colonial government of Riziland to bring in immigrants from Estmere to the northern regions of the Northern Territory. First organised in 1938, the scheme was designed to attract 100,000 Estmerish settlers to the area by 1948.
Background
In the aftermath of the Great War, Estmere faced a process of reconstruction, as much of the country had been destroyed. With a lack of economic opportunities, many Estmerish left for the Colony of Riziland, as it was seen to be a land of opportunity.
With the influx of Estmerish immigrants to the colony from 1936 onward, most of them moved to Port Fitzhubert, while some, particularly the more affluent, headed to the White Highlands. This led to competition between the newly arrived working class white immigrants and the working class Bahian population present in the city.
At the same time, the colonial government sought to focus on increasing its authority on the peripherial regions of the country, including the northern areas of the Northern Territory, which outside of Rusere had very limited control from the colonial government, despite a continuous presence since the early 1890s.
