Declaration by the Lands Authority

I hereby declare that in accordance with article 43 of Chapter 573 of the Laws of Malta regarding Government Lands, I am revoking the Declaration issued by the Lands Authority of a termination published in the Government gazette of the 5th December, 2019, under Government Notice No. 1554 limitedly for the land mentioned below.

​Description of the Land

The following land in Ħ'Attard:

A plot of land measuring about 502 square metres, bounded on the the East by a public road and on the North  and West by property of Ray's Properties or more precise boundaries.

With the approval of the Board of Governors of the Lands Authority, it has been confirmed that the abovementioned land should not have been included in the declaration since it resulted that it is already property of the Government of Malta and so this revocation is being made by which part of the declaration published in the Government gazette of the 5th December, 2019, under Government Notice No. 1554 mentioned above is being revoked.
