A new restoration and maintenance scheme has been launched for local community clubs by the Planning Authority and Ministry for the Environment.

Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning Aaron Farrugia who said that such clubs play an integral role in the social fabric of our towns, villages, and society as a whole.

There is an allocated fund of €250,000, from which social and local community clubs may be awarded up to €5,000.

The aim of the ‘Irrestawra l-Kazin’ grant scheme is to provide financial assistance at a time when such clubs have had to deal with a considerable reduction in their income, but still carry out maintenance works.

It was explained that eligible works are related to the maintenance of the premises and such works may either already have been carried out, are still in progress, or may still need to be carried out, such that all receipts are presented to the Planning Authority by 15th of December 2021.

Applications open on the 22nd of September and funding will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis. The scheme will remain open until the 30th of November, or until the allocated budget is used up.

The conditions applicable to the scheme are available by clicking here.

Further information on the scheme can be obtained by calling 22901554/22901555 or by emailing irrestawrakazin@pa.org.mt
