MIDI plc has submitted a new sustainable masterplan for the restoration and development of Manoel Island to the Planning Authority (PA) and a revised Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the Environmental Resources Authority (ERA).
In this revised masterplan the footprint of the new buildings to be developed on Manoel Island has been scaled down from to 10% of the site area from 26% as originally contemplated. Likewise gross floor area of the new buildings is significantly reduced as this now totals 55,000sqm compared to the 95,000sqm in the original masterplan.
The newly revised MIDI masterplan for the restoration and development of Manoel Island will respect this iconic landmark’s rich heritage, while readying it to be enjoyed by everyone in the local and national community.
While Manoel Island is a critical part of Malta’s history, it remains a much-loved part of the local landscape and culture.
Preserving this unique heritage is at the heart of the revised MIDI masterplan to restore and develop Manoel Island – a plan that was recently submitted to the Planning Authority alongside a revised Environmental Impact Assessment to the Environmental Resources Authority.
The 2021 masterplan makes a series of key improvements when compared to the 1999 and 2017 designs, focusing on preservation, sustainability and public wellbeing while transforming Manoel Island into a space prepared for Malta’s future.
