DEMOLITION and excavation
works shall be prohibited from se-
lected touristic areas between the
15th of June and the 30th of Sep-
tember 2025. This initiative, which
is being coordinated between the
Building and Construction Au-
thority (BCA) and the Malta Tour-
ism Authority (MTA), takes into
account the inconvenience that
construction sites cause on sur-
rounding residences and hotels.
The enforcement of Subsidiary
Legislation 623.08 (third Sched-
ule 1c) is one way of alleviating
the inconvenience that construc-
tion sites cause both on the tour-
ism industry and on the number
of Maltese families moving to
live in these areas. The demoli-
tion and excavation phases at a
construction site are an incon-
venience to the surrounding res-
idences.
Any illegal demolition and ex-
cavation works carried out be-
tween the 15th of June and the
30th of September 2025 in the
identified localities and streets,
may be reported to the Build-
ing and Construction Authority
(BCA) on number 138 for both
Malta and Gozo, during and after
office hours.
The MTA is the competent Au-
thority which identifies localities
and roads where demolition or
excavation works cannot be car-
ried out. The MTA reserves the
right to change or amend the list
of roads as it deems necessary.
You can view the full list of lo-
calities and roads where dem-
olition or excavation works are
prohibited during the summer
months on the MTA website:
