“The Ramla l-Hamra project and the Hondoq ir-Rummien project, two of the most damaging development projects in Gozo, are being refused by MEPA,” Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar (FAA) said. “These are major achievements for the preservation of Gozo’s environment and quality of life,” which, (FAA) said “it has been actively working towards for the last five years.” Although it is based in Malta the NGO said it has always been on the forefront of Gozitan campaigns, helping Gozitan groups, and is now seeking to extend its outreach to its supporters in Gozo.
FAA said that, “Besides being a planning milestone, these decisions also show what can be achieved when we pull together, just as our campaigns have succeeded in bring about MEPA Reform, environmental improvements on construction sites as well as the preservation of many heritage buildings and rural sites.” FAA continued “We are currently forming a core group of FAA members and volunteers in Gozo so that we will be able continue to lobby for your interests, especially to protect your quality of life. We can only do this effectively with local participation and therefore we invite people to join FAA as the contribution, even simply by becoming a member is critical to the success of any campaign.”

FAA will be holding the first event in Gozo on Wednesday, the 7th of September, at the Country Terrace, Mgarr. It will include a presentation on how everyone can protect the local heritage, property and quality of life. This will be followed by a three-course dinner out on the terrace, for just €25. Bookings can be made on bookings@faa.org.mt.
FAA warmly invites everyone to attend their first event in Gozo.
This is excellent news for Gozo. Although FAA have as they say always been at the forefront of campaigns regarding Gozo it will be good to have feet on the ground on a full time basis.
Great news. To all the people of Gozo stop over development on your beautiful island!
Very good idea! I will come.
I hope you will don`t have enough tables for all the people 🙂
So People, we will see there !!

I had to read the first sentence three times to make sure I understood what I was reading. I still can’t quite believe it. Maybe it’s that fermented pomegranate juice I had at lunch. But, if not, if this is really the truth….CONGRATULATIONS!! You all have worked so long and so hard for the good of Gozo and all its visitors. I’m proud to know you.
We’re doing a celebratory Mexican Hat Dance on my roof terrace to salute you!

Correction, I have meant September 4th.
What a success in every way, most important is that Hondoq ir-Rummien will keep its character and facial appearance. Well done to all at FAA and many thanks for the support given by the guests who attended the presentation and evening dinner which were a success in their own different ways. We look forward to more success throughout the coming years.
