Overlooking the picturesque San Blas valley on the village outskirts, the project received a substantial €61,000 funding from the Development Planning Fund under the Planning Authority.

Financed by the Development Planning Fund established in 2017, such initiatives aim to enhance various community aspects across the Maltese Islands.

The fund draws revenue from two main sources: a portion of fees associated with regularization applications and tariffs imposed on developers for non-provision of parking in development permits. Over the years, the fund has facilitated projects ranging from upgrading playing fields to restoring historic landmarks for social purposes and installing energy-efficient street lighting.

The Nadur Local Council has actively pursued projects financed through this fund, contributing to the area’s overall improvement. Initiatives include beautification efforts in the main square, installing exercise equipment for public use, and renovating benches near Kenuna Tower.

Minister Camilleri emphasized his commitment to supporting more local councils in implementing beneficial projects. He encouraged councils to propose initiatives that enhance resident and visitor experiences. He expressed gratitude to all involved parties for their contributions to the Belvedere project’s success.

The inauguration event was attended by Nadur Mayor Edward Said and Zafferana Etnea Mayor Salvatore Russo, reflecting the collaborative effort behind community development projects.
