AND PLANNING AUTHORITY

New Billboards and Advertisements Regulations

Government has issued new legislative measures in order to harmonize current legislation regulating billboards and advertisements in Malta.

This new Legal Notice will replace L.N. 171/93 and will determine when planning permission for billboards and signage is required, when outdoor advertising is exempt from requiring permission and what measures Transport Malta or MEPA can use to remove advertisements which are not covered by the necessary permit.

All owners and/or operators currently in possession of a permit which covers any outdoor advertisement issued by the Police, MEPA/Planning Authority or Transport Malta are obliged to register their existing permit/s between Monday, 4th April and Monday, 11th April, 2016. Registration is to take place at the offices of the Planning Authority in Floriana or Rabat, Gozo and permit holders are requested to bring with them a copy of the permit together with a marked site plan and a photograph.

As of Tuesday, 12th April, 2016, any failure to register will lead to enforcement action as per Article 4 (3) of L.N. 103 of 2016. Any advertisement on an advertising vehicle shall also be removed. Fines range from Euro 1,000 to Euro 5,000 for each illegal advert. 

For more information interested parties may call MEPA on 2290 0000 or through email address (customercare@mepa.org.mt).
