Robert Abela
hits back in a
fiery speech,
announces
changes to
local plans
JAMES DEBONO
A private company has submitted a zoning ap-
plication for the development of four residen-
tial blocks on the site of the decommissioned
Qajjenza gas filling plant.
The application was filed by Paul Attard's
Katari Developments Ltd and envisages four
residential blocks ranging from four to eight
floors and two four-story office blocks.
However, most of the 23,906sq.m site is
owned by Enemalta (13,561 sq.m) and the
government (3,408 sq.m). An additional
6,273sq.m are held by private owners.
MARIANNA CALLEJA
IN hopes of a Malta led by a
government with an "environ-
ment close to its heart," Prime
Minister Robert Abela revealed
that a change in local plans in
Wied il-Għajn will ensure that
a marina will not built there.
"Today I can announce that
we will provide peace of mind
to the residents of Wied il-Għa-
jn with the change in the local
plan that guarantees a marina
will not be built there, contrary
to what was allowed by the lo-
cal plan during the time of the
Nationalist administration,"
Abela said on Monday.
