The government announced yesterday that the Qortin landfill in Gozo is to be transformed into a recreational site for families and a consultation process on the design of the recreational park is to take place.
The design of the park includes a belvedere, play area and an open-air cinema.
The project is to be partly financed by the EU.
The landfill was closed in April 2004 and since then 43,000 tonnes of domestic waste have been transported to Malta.
