Project Green has officially commenced regeneration works at Ġnien tal-Kmand, a historic public garden in Qrendi originally established in the early 19th century by Civil Commissioner Sir Alexander Ball. The initiative follows the garden’s recent transfer to the Qrendi Local Council.
Minister for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness, Miriam Dalli, visited the 1,600-square-metre site together with Qrendi Mayor David Schembri, members of the local council, and representatives from Project Green.
The regeneration project will include landscaping, improved accessibility, and enhanced safety features, with the aim of restoring the garden as a tranquil public space. “This garden has been closed for years, but we are now reopening its gates to the community,” said Minister Dalli. “It’s about preserving our heritage and giving something back to the 3,150 residents who live within a ten-minute walk.”
Benjamin Vassallo, Head of Design at Project Green, explained that the plan will strike a balance between historical preservation and environmental revitalisation. “We’re working closely with the council to breathe new life into this space while respecting its historical significance,” he said.
Mayor Schembri added that the first phase of the project includes tree pruning, planting, and the installation of new gates.

“This is another investment in our country – this time in the aviation sector by a Maltese company that has a new hangar,” said the Prime Minister. He commended the Zarb family’s determination and resilience, which have not only driven Falcon Aviation’s success but also helped raise Malta’s profile in global aviation.
