Momentum files FOI request on dB bid to take over public coastline in St George’s Bay - The Malta Independent

Dr. Matthew Agius has submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Lands Authority to expose the transaction history of dB Group’s proposal to redevelop St George's Bay. This action seeks full transparency regarding ownership, leases, and potential encroachments on public rock coastline, challenging the clarity of the site's legal status. The request demands detailed records of board meetings, competing bids, compensation paid to previous tenants, and the final winning bid. By scrutinizing these administrative details, the inquiry aims to verify whether proper procedures were followed and to ensure that public assets are not being transferred or developed without adequate oversight or fair valuation. This case highlights the critical role of open data in safeguarding public interests against opaque corporate developments. It demonstrates how accessing government records empowers citizens and committees to hold authorities accountable, ensuring that decisions affecting communal resources are transparent, legally sound, and subject to public scrutiny.
