Demolition and excavation works will once again not be permitted within tourism areas during the coming three months of summer.
The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) in collaboration with the Building Regulation Office (BRO) and the Planning Authority have identified the localities and streets where such works will not be permitted, between June 15 and September 30.
"Conscious that the demolition and excavation phase at a construction site is by far the greatest inconvenience for the surrounding neighbourhood, the legal notice (LN295/07) mitigates the nuisance that such sites have on both the tourism industry and the number of Maltese families who move to their summer residence," the entities said.
Any illegal excavation and demolition works carried out during this period, in the identified localities and streets, may be reported to the Building Regulation Office on telephone number 2292 7608 (during office hours) or 996 37508 (after office hours).
The full list of localities and streets where demolition or excavation works are prohibited during the summer months may be viewed on the Planning Authority’s website http://www.pa.org.mt/summer-breaktime.
The Malta Tourism Authority is the competent authority to identify the localities and streets where demolition or excavation works cannot be carried out. MTA said it reserved the right to change or amend the list of streets as necessary.
