THE Nationalist Party is not against the
possibility of land reclamation, as long
as it is implemented in an appropriate
manner and not as a knee-jerk reaction
to a "construction waste crisis", MP Ja-
son Azzopardi said.
"The size of the reclaimed land should
not be proportionate to the amount of
construction waste we produce," Azzo-
pardi said. "Land reclamation should
not be a short-sighted reaction to a
problem but an adequately researched
possibility."
Azzopardi was speaking at a press con-
ference during which the PN presented
proposals and recommendations for the
management of construction waste.
"Before 2012, the PN had already
consulted with Scott Wilson Group on
the possibility of land reclamation,"
Azzopardi said, adding that the con-
sultation had resulted in a 300-page
document.
With regards to construction waste,
Azzopardi argued that the fact that
space to dispose of the ever-increasing
volumes of construction waste was run-
ning out had been caused by
a "deficient and incompe-
tent" government.
PN agrees with land reclamation,
but not as solution to waste crisis
