The canopy will be made of a pre-cast concrete slab and will be supported by steel rods. Plans submitted to the Planning Authority by the Infrastructure Ministry also foresee the construc- tion of restroom facilities, a food kiosk, stores and parking facilities for visitors and farmers. As proposed, the kiosk will have an outside cater- ing area consisting of 20 tables. The project will also include parking spaces for more than 70 cars and 37 farmers' lorries, two four-metre wide cycling tracks, a 2.2m wide jogging track and landscaping works including benches, water feature and various trees. The project covers an area of 1,560sq.m and will include the conversion of two concrete-floored sites – totalling over 2,800sq.m of land – back to agricultural land. In the past, permits had already been issued for the development of public amenities, pavement and a cycle track and the area is zoned for informal rec- reation in the Ta' Qali Action Plan. The project has already been given the go ahead of the Environment and Resources Authority.
