Gozo and Planning Minister Clint Camilleri and Lands and Electoral Manifesto Implementation Minister Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi presided over the official signing of an agreement that transfers land at Pjazza l-Assedju in central Victoria, Gozo, from the Lands Authority to the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.
This agreement enables the launch of a major project that will create a landscaped green space and an underground parking facility aimed at enhancing infrastructure and services in the city centre.
The planned development will add around 2,100 square metres of tree-lined open space and construct a multi-level underground car park offering at least 230 additional parking spaces.
Minister Clint Camilleri highlighted that the project will revitalise Victoria’s core by providing a welcoming open space for families while addressing the long-standing need for more parking.
He stressed that this forms part of a broader vision for Gozo’s sustainable development, aligned with the Gozo Regional Development Strategy and Malta’s national Vision 2050.
Minister Zrinzo Azzopardi noted that this agreement supports a shift in transport infrastructure, offering more convenience for residents and visitors. He underlined the Lands Authority’s role in regenerating public spaces for community use.
In late 2024, the Gozo Regional Development Authority launched a Preliminary Market Consultation on the Victoria Car Park and Green Space project.

Malta’s current rate stands at 10 amputations per 100,000 people, compared to more than 20 per 100,000 in many European countries. Minister Abela emphasized that this progress stems from key enhancements in both community healthcare and hospital services. Community podiatry services and hospital-based radiology, radiography, and vascular surgery have played a central role in this outcome.
