The CareMalta Group has signed a 65-year lease agreement with La Stella Philharmonic Society for a property in Victoria to be developed into a 60-bed facility in the heart of the community.
This is an important milestone for the group, which will be extending its services to Gozo for the first time.
Formerly known as the Astra Discotheque in its heyday, the property, built in the shape of a tower, is located at the foot of the Citadel, just behind the Astra Theatre. Inaugurated by Gozo Minister Anton Tabone in 1989, this top entertainment venue changed its name along the years, first to Planet Discotheque and later to KU Club, closing its doors in 2019.
Two streets in Nadur, Triq Dun Anton Tabone and Triq ir-Ramla, have been rebuilt and are currently being surfaced, the Ministry for Gozo said.
Minister Clint Camilleri, who toured the site, said the €600,000 project covers almost a kilometre.
Works included the replacement of underground services and new water culverts.
The minister was accompanied by Nadur Mayor Edward Said.
