The beautification project of the Nadur Belvedere which overlooks the San Blas valley from the side of the Hali area has been inaugurated by Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri.

This project received €61,000 in funding from the Development Planning Fund from the Planning Authority.

“This Belvedere project is another project that the Nadur Local Council was able to carry out through funds it received from the Development Planning Fund, which was first established in 2017 and through which a large number of community projects have been financed around the Maltese Islands,” Minister Camilleri explained.

Minister Camilleri went on to explain that these funds come from two sources; the fees (20%) associated with regularisation applications and the fees charged to a developer when on-site parking is not provided with a development permit.

He said that projects that have benefited in recent years include beautification of playing fields and open spaces, restoration and regeneration of old properties for social community facilities, energy-saving street lighting, installation of outdoor gyms and much more. The proposed projects will be able to receive up to a maximum of 70% of the total cost of the project.

The Nadur Local Council, over the past years, has been able to carry out a number of projects financed through this same fund. These projects ranged from placing planters in the main square, placing equipment for physical training; and repair of a railing on the Kenuna Tower side.

Minister Clint Camilleri thanked everyone who worked so that this project could be completed, the Nadur Council, the Planning Authority employees and all those who contributed.

Also present for the inauguration were the Mayor of Nadur Edward Said and the Mayor of Zafferana Etnea Salvatore Russo.??
