The area was labelled as private property, with the public being asked to enjoy the view from the road. Campings, barbecues and other such activities were banned from the site.

The area is owned by Sandro Chetcuti, Malta Developers’ Association Head. However, the signs and walls were erected by an unknown source. Appelgren addressed the situation with a humorous take, asking whether it was already April Fool’s day and as to who is buying all the signs in bulk.
