Minister Silvio Schembri Inaugurates New Public Space in Ħad-Dingli

Minister for Economy, Enterprise, and Strategic Projects Silvio Schembri, together with INDIS Malta, the National Development and Social Fund (NDSF), and the Ħad-Dingli Local Council, has inaugurated Misraħ Santa Duminka, a newly developed open space in Ħad-Dingli.

Located next to the historic Santa Duminka Chapel, this 800-square-metre site was previously abandoned but has now been transformed into a recreational area for local families.

The project respects Malta’s natural landscape, featuring olive and cypress trees.

Minister Schembri highlighted that while INDIS Malta primarily manages industrial zones, it also invests in community projects like this one, enhancing public spaces in village centres and industrial areas.

Similar initiatives are underway in Bulebel, Siġġiewi, and Ħal Qormi, with restoration works also completed in Żejtun, Ħal Kirkop, and Mellieħa.

INDIS Malta CEO Jean Pierre Attard emphasised the organisation’s commitment to giving back to the community, while NDSF CEO Raymond Ellul noted that this initiative aligns with efforts to promote urban greening across Malta and Gozo.

Ħad-Dingli Mayor Raymond Schembri described the project as a long-awaited dream come true, offering residents a safe recreational space.
