Since Gam was declared a settlement in 2011, development has taken shape, with the regional leadership optimistic that it could be declared a town in the near future.

Under the leadership of the Governor, the Gam Development Organization has been advocating for the development of the settlement under the leadership of the Governor.

James Uerikua, who was the chairperson of the organization at the time, had requested that the Roads Authority looks into the road infrastructure and how best it could be addressed in 2012.
