Wasteserv receives six bids to transform Sant’Antnin plant into park
The chosen bidder is expected to be announced in the coming months
Wasteserv has received six bids for the project to turn the Sant’Antnin waste treatment plant into a public park, the agency said on Friday.
The evaluation process for the proposals is already underway and the winning bid i expected to be announced in the coming months.
The Marsascala plant was shut down in December 2022 and the infrastructure has since been dismantled and sent for recycling abroad.
A fire had ripped through the plant in 2017, destroying much of the building.
The first stage of the project will see the excavation of a three-storey car park, an artificial lake and the construction of three water reservoirs.
The excavated material will repurposed within the same site. A retaining wall will also be built to separate the park from the surrounding areas.
“WasteServ remains committed to advancing Malta’s waste management plan - this is the only way we can reduce landfilling to reach EU targets while creating space for more green projects that ensure a better environmental future for our children,” Wasteserv CEO Richard Bilocca said.
WasteServ is organising a family event with activities for families and children, tomorrow, Saturday, June 1, between 4 pm and 7 pm at Ġnien Fuq il-Glażiż, in Vittoriosa.
