Project Description Statement for the setting up of Mġarr ix-Xini Regional Park, Xewkija and Sannat, Gozo

Abstract

The Project Description Statement for the proposed Mgarr Ix-Xini Regional Park is a response to a request by Sannat Local Council and Xewkija Local Council to develop a joint initiative aimed at protecting, safeguarding, sustaining and enhancing the ecosensitive, geocultural landscapes of Mgarr Ix-Xini valley. The aim of Sannat and Xewkija Local Councils is to develop a regional park based on the concept of inclusivity rather than exclusivity of the landowners and occupiers of properties falling within the boundaries of the regional park: the Local Councils are the guarantors while the land owners and occupiers are the prime movers.
