A well-known aviation spotters’ area in Ħal Kirkop, commonly referred to as the iSpotters Wall, will now fall under the responsibility of the Ħal Kirkop Local Council.
This follows a formal agreement signed between the Lands Authority and the Local Council.
The site, which has long been a favourite among aviation enthusiasts across Malta due to its strategic location and unobstructed views of the Malta International Airport runway, will now benefit from improved maintenance and development under local stewardship.
Minister for Lands and the Implementation of the Electoral Programme, Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, noted that the agreement reflects the government’s commitment to returning valuable public spaces to the community through local councils.
Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government Alison Zerafa Civelli also welcomed the agreement, describing the area as an important open space not just for aviation lovers, but for families too.
Ħal Kirkop Mayor Matthew Agius Zammit expressed his satisfaction with the devolved responsibility, pledging to transform the area into a greener, more attractive, and family-friendly open space.
The council will collaborate with the Malta Aviation Society to organise educational and recreational activities that will further enhance the space’s appeal to the public.
