First-time buyers are not developers.

Mr Jerome Cahuzac lied and was dismissed from his ministerial post. Joseph Muscat lied and became Prime Minister.

There’s paving the way for no EIS for the new power station.

This is how the deadlines will be met. Build today worry later.

Considering the overall net benefits we gained cia the EU, Mr & Mr Borg did not subsidise RCC, but rather RCC helped give the job that allows them to pay taxes.

Mr &Mrs Borg will on the other hand be subsidising the additional 36 million that the government is paying its klikka.

And this excludes the wasted salaries of ex permanent secretaries still employed by the government.

Most reclamation areas starts by dumping material at sea from existing beach line or loading material upon hopper barges and dumping material at sea forming an island close to the beach.

A good example is Malta Freeport Terminals. The container terminals within the port are all reclaimed land forming container stacking areas and quay for the berthing of the ships.

Right now government is applying dumping charges for such dumping at sea (circa 8 Euros per cu.meter). The official offshore dumping site is circa 3 kilometres perpendicular to Valletta harbour. The sea bed within the area is off the continental shelf and is circa 100m deep. This offshore dumping site has been used since the 1940s or even before.

Re this Land reclamation – We have to ask the following questions.

Will these charges still apply if we dump material at land reclamation area?

Who shall be the owner of the reclaimed area?

Which beaches shall be affected?

Which towns and villages shall be affected with the loading/transportation of such material?

Who will control the dumping works and the environmental aspects?

If they screw up, and release the financial purse strings..

One could not have a situation, he aid, where the government gave directions but committees acted differently.
Oh so MEPA board is just going to rubberstamp “government directions”. Coming from a PS with a week’s experience of MEPA, but with the supreme ‘navigator’ Robert Musumeci as advisor, it seems ‘developers’ can expect to see the winter of their discontent turned in glorious summer…….’

My thoughts exactly, as for the minister’s reasoning, Mepa’s caseload will be increased due the lower tarrifs, thus the books balanced. Swell, a spike in applications should kickstart the demand for ‘minor’ construction works all over the place.

‘Restoration’ works to proceed without even a tariff.
Malta taghna lkoll, fuq il-fil.

And given that any ‘further considerations’ shall be removed from officers’ remit, make that third party objections, concerns et al. we’re in for interesting times.

I recommend they just get rid of application notices, should preempt delays.

When Astrid Vella remains silent in view of the scam about to perpetrated, we’ll know, in reality, what a hypocritical mercenary she was these past four years.

I hate saying it, but how absolutely shameful, spineless and double-faced her silence is.
