Malta: PA statistics confirm assault on Gozo ODZ

The number of permits sought – and granted – for development in Gozo each year has effectively tripled since 2013, quadrupling when permits for works outside the development zone are considered.

The trend – which has seen all 14 Gozitan mayors join forces in criticising overdevelopment in the island – has been confirmed by figures supplied by Environment Minister Aaron Farrugia in reply to a parliamentary question by Gozitan MP Chris Said.
