Zminijietna – Voice of the Left said in a statement today that it is very concerned with the recommendations put forward by the Privatisation Unit, to regenerate areas in the south of Malta, that fall outside the development zones, into a tourist complex.
“Such proposals will be in breach of the existing planning regulations that regulate development in ODZ areas. Virgin land will continue to be sacrificed for unsustainable development. In fact 30% of the total land in Malta is already built,” stated Zminijietna.
“On the other hand, Zminijietna supports initiatives to re-develop unused or derelict buildings for tourism purposes. Zminijietna also supports proposals to restore and conserve old historical buildings for such reason.” Zminijietna concluded.
