Transport Malta has submitted a planning application to redevelop the historic Tank 2 reservoir site located near St Helen's Gate in Cospicua.
Under the proposed project, the existing post-war structure will be replaced to create 104 parking spaces aimed at alleviating vehicle congestion in the Three Cities.
The application also outlines plans for a landscaped public garden to be established on the roof of the facility, providing open community space.
Historical boundary walls surrounding the site will be restored as part of the redevelopment works to preserve the architectural heritage of the area.
In addition to parking facilities and recreational greenery, the plans ensure that an underground water reservoir remains operational beneath the new build.
The proposal now awaits formal evaluation and public consultation by the Planning Authority before any permits can be granted.
