Please refuse Hondoq permit now


Moviment Ħarsien Ħondoq together with Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar, Ramblers Association, NatureTrust, FOE Malta, Din l-Art Helwa, Wirt Ghawdex and Bicref ask you to support their call to MEPA to refuse the permit for the Hondoq project.

Dear Ħondoq supporter,

MEPA’s Environment Protection Directorate’s recommendation against the development of a real estate/marina complex at Ħondoq ir-Rummien is welcomed by all those who have been fighting against this proposal for the last 9 years. However, it is important to keep the momentum going and ensure that the MEPA Board follows through this decision by refusing to grant a permit to the developers.

Another issue that needs to be addressed is the policy regarding Ħondoq in the Gozo and Comino Local Plan, which was changed without consultation, from one in favour of rehabilitation, to one in favour of development. This policy should be changed back to what was agreed upon between MEPA and the Qala Local Council in 2002, where Ħondoq Bay and its surroundings were designated as being Outside the Development Zone (ODZ).

Finally we propose that Ħondoq be turned into a National Park, as already planned by the Qala Local Council, and that the area be rehabilitated and protected in order that everyone can continue to enjoy this area of outstanding natural beauty for generations to come.

Please continue to show your support by signing the petition below, and help ensure that the MEPA Board upholds the decision of MEPA's Environment Protection Directorate, and refuses to grant a permit for the development of Ħondoq ir-Rummien into a real estate/marina complex.


Also please pass this e-mail to all on your contact lists.

Our aim is for Hondoq to remain for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for your support.
