What is Mepa's Vision?
Mepa's vision statementment says:
We cherish our environment and plan to nurture it... together.
Our aim is to pass onto our children a better country than we inherited. It is for this very reason that we compare our environment to a treasure, something we place our energies in, to protect, care for and improve. The environment encompasses all - nature, cultural and architectural heritage, towns and villages, the countryside, the seas and air. We believe that together we should carefully plan so that our heritage, this gem which we treasure, will not fade away.
The Malta Environment and Planning Authority is committed to ensure that land use and the protection of the environment meet the needs of today's society and future communities. We are working to ensure a quality of life that will be in harmony with the our natural, cultural and built environment. In so doing we are seeking to implement sustainable development that safeguard the environment.
How do we plan to realise this?
We will achieve these aims through:
Responsibility and unstinting service aimed at the social, economic and cultural development of the country.
Partnership, which involves everyone's abilities in planning for effective land use and environment protection for us and for future generations.
Caring and commitment to foster an awareness in favour of the environment.
What values guide us?
Our guiding principles are:
Justice, fairness and timeliness in our decisions and their efficient and transparent enforcement.
Commitment in the attainment of the common good while respecting the opinions and aspirations of society.
Professionalism in implementation through ability and accountability.
Integrity in all we say and do.
