Could Malta transform into a Mediterranean version of Dubai? The government is currently considering four diverse projects related to land reclamation in various areas of the island.
The projects are related to industry, trade and family reclamation, Infrastructure Minister Aaron Farrugia revealed when asked during TVM program Insights.
The Minister said that the government is currently not only exploring these three areas but also a legal framework which could eventually lead to them being carried out.
Before such a project is carried out, the need for an environment impact study is crucial, said the Minister, who previously held the position of Environmental Minister.
Farrugia made reference to two studies being carried out under two different administrations whereby six sites were identified for potential land reclamation. He said such projects will permit the recovery of unused land as well as ease the construction waste issue the island currently faces.
