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.
A former mayor of Victoria, Paul M. Cassar, has passed away.
In a statement, the Nationalist Party paid tribute to the late mayor who was elected on its behalf serving in the council’s second and third legislatures. He was mayor between 2000 and 2003.
Cassar was the head of the Gozo library between 1952 and 1994. He was involved in several Gozitan organisations, particularly the La Stella Philharmonic Society, in which he also served as president.
He was married to Carmela and had a son, George.
