Over 140 applications from Gozo and Malta have been received for the first ‘Green Your Building’ Scheme by the Planning Authority
The scheme was rolled out earlier this year, in collaboration with the Ministry for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning.
The Authority said that the scheme was most popular with private property owners living within the localities of Mosta (12), Naxxar (8) and Birkirkara (7).
With the scheme now closed, the Authority said that it will be funding close to €1.2 million, giving applicants a 100% refund on all eligible works associated with the introduction of green living walls on the facade of their property or for the green retrofitting of their front gardens. Each property will benefit up to a maximum of €10,000.
The scheme was aimed at private residences, living within residential areas, that are not within Urban Conservation Areas or villa/bungalow areas. Shops and offices with existing front gardens within these areas may benefit from the scheme.
The funds for this scheme were made available by the Authority from the fees it generates from the regularisation process application.
The regularisation process application provides property owners with the opportunity to regularise existing non-conformant developments located entirely within the development boundaries.
