The Ministry for the Environment, through the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation (GHRC), is set to embark on a major regeneration project along the Ta’ Xbiex seafront, covering a stretch of over one kilometre.

Scheduled to commence in the last week of October, the project will see the enhancement of the promenade and quay area, including the installation of modern water and street lighting systems.

The announcement was made by the Minister for the Environment, Miriam Dalli, alongside GHRC Chief Executive Officer Gino Cauchi and representatives from the Ta’ Xbiex Local Council.

“Another promised project, another project that will now be delivered. This initiative will address the daily needs of the community while reinforcing our vision for public spaces that are sustainable, inclusive, and of the highest quality. The Ta’ Xbiex promenade will combine functionality with aesthetics, as well as environmental considerations,” said Minister Dalli.

High-quality materials will be used to ensure visual harmony and maintain the aesthetic appeal of the seafront, complementing the paving already installed along the Msida promenade. Durable lava stone and porphyry paving, resilient against natural elements, will feature prominently in the works.

The project will also introduce a greenway to promote alternative and sustainable modes of travel.

Significant infrastructural upgrades will be undertaken in coordination with relevant authorities, including the installation of new water systems, improvements to street lighting with underground ducting for service cables, and enhancements to the rainwater management system.

“This project will complement those already completed by the GHRC in Pietà and Msida. Once complete, the entire seafront stretch, from the Sa Maison area onwards, will benefit from cohesive and modernised public spaces,” added Mr Cauchi.
