New Public Space In Siġġiewi In Memory Of Mirabelle Falzon

Jun 12 2025

A new 2,570-square-metre public space has been officially opened in Siġġiewi to honour the memory of Mirabelle Falzon, a young woman from the locality who tragically passed away one year ago. Mirabelle had worked with INDIS Malta, the organisation that led the project in collaboration with the Siġġiewi Local Council and the National Development and Social Fund (NDSF).

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects Silvio Schembri, who highlighted the project as part of the government’s wider commitment to greener, more liveable communities. He explained that this initiative fits within the fourth pillar of Malta’s Vision 2050, which aims to create more accessible public spaces for families while safeguarding the natural environment and agricultural land.

The new space includes a 30-metre zipline, CCTV-monitored facilities, and environmentally friendly features such as solar-powered lighting and a charging point for electric vehicles. Eighty trees were planted on site and are maintained through an automated irrigation system connected to a dedicated reservoir.

The project, which cost €850,000, was funded through Malta’s citizenship-by-investment programme. It revitalises a previously neglected plot of land and now stands as a space for rest, recreation, and reflection, while preserving Mirabelle’s memory.

Jean Pierre Attard, CEO of INDIS Malta, said the project shows how public entities can improve community life through thoughtful design and environmental care. Raymond Ellul, CEO of the NDSF, added that such initiatives leave a long-lasting legacy for future generations.

Mirabelle’s parents expressed deep gratitude to all involved. They said the park allows their daughter’s name to be remembered with love.

Mayor Julian Borg noted the transformation of an area once misused into a clean, safe, and inclusive open space for everyone to enjoy.

Helpline Set Up For Residents Affected By Paceville Collapse

Jun 12 2025

Following the collapse of Tania Flats in Paceville, St Julian’s, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has confirmed that all evacuated residents are being given alternative accommodation and full support.

Thanks to quick action by architects, authorities, and one alert resident, 32 people were safely evacuated before the building collapsed. The BCA and the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA) had already inspected the site and issued a stop notice on 10 June after identifying serious structural problems.

With help from the police, residents were removed from the building as a safety measure. Excel Trading Ltd, developers of a nearby site, said their work had been completed weeks earlier and maintain the collapse was not caused by their project.

An investigation is ongoing. The Kamra tal-Periti praised those whose quick action saved lives and is also looking into any possible professional misconduct.

📞 Emergency Helpline for those affected: 9909 7867: The BCA encourages anyone who was impacted to call for technical, legal, or emotional support.
