development!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 9th September 2004 Malta's Environment and Planning Authority shall be
deciding on the proposed development of a golf course on prime agricultural
land in Verdala, Rabat, Malta. The proposed development violates Malta's
Structure Plan and the 1991 agreement between the Maltese Government and the
Holy See. It shall uproot almost 100 farmers from agricultural land which
has been worked upon for hundreds of years and shall consume unsustainable
amounts of water in a country where water is a scarce resource. Irreversable
environmental damage shall take place.
The Front Against the Golf Course, made up of over 20 organisations is
opposing this development. More info on the project may be obtained at

SHOW YOUR SOLIDARITY TO THE VERDALA AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY

Unity is strength!!
