In line with the MEPA Reform objectives for greater efficiency and transparency, the Authority today has given NGOs and Local Councils free, unlimited access to digital plans for all planning applications through its e-applications systems.

Addressing this point MEPA Chairman Mr Austin Walker commented that “My approach from the very first day has been one of openness and transparency. E-applications is a system that brings about these two key components. We are confident that in providing NGOs and Local councils with this free on-line service they will now be in a better position to carry out their duties and responsibilities in a more effective and efficient manner.”

The Authority is inviting NGOs that have not received notification of this service to contact the Authority on 2290 2014 or email ruth.micallef@mepa.org.mt and submit their request.

E-applications, which was launched earlier this year is more than just a technological tool. The system brings together different platforms and technologies into one homogeneous system which allows clients to view application details, submit and pay for applications online and send/receive correspondence digitally thus increasing participation, efficiency and transparency.
