Paola green wall
does a Houdini
ODZ hotel proposed in
Mosta on land transferred
by parliament in 2020
A 30-room so-called 'healing' hotel
with a large outdoor pool and six lux-
ury tents is being proposed outside the
development zone in the Busbesija area
of Mosta.
The public land covering an area of
7,000sq.m was transferred to GP Borg
Ltd by parliamentary resolution that
was unanimously approved in July
2020, during the pandemic.
The Busbesija land had been the cen-
tre of controversy some years back
when the government entertained a
proposal for a shooting range that was
eventually dropped.

THE Paola local council has unanimously agreed
to remove a green wall hanging on the Corradino
Correctional Facility façade after it became too
costly to maintain.
The green wall was set up by the central gov-
ernment in 2020 and cost €30,000 but accord-
ing to the council the materials used were un-
suitable for Malta's climate.

The green wall was inaugurated in 2020 by then mayor
Dominic Grima and environment minister Aaron Farrugia
