Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

    HM GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR MINISTRY FOR SPORTS, CULTURE, HERITAGE & YOUTH 310 Main Street Gibraltar PRESS RELEASE No: 336/2014 Date: 3rd July 2014 Budget Speech 2014 By the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies The Hon Steven Linares Mr Speaker, I have been a member of this House for fourteen years. It is a great honour and privilege for me to deliver my third budget speech as the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies. I will commence with Culture and Heritage. The House will recall that during my last budget speech and more recently in my contribution during the second reading of the repeal of the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency Act in March I explained the mess that we inherited in relation to the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency (GCHA). I outlined, among other matters, the way in which the previous administration gave wage hikes to people just weeks before the last General Election. I cannot help but mention to the Honourable the Leader of the Opposition that when he mentions the fact that the Culture and Heritage budget has increased this year from £3.8m to £5m which represents a 31.6% increase he should consider the fact that the forming of the agency which was their doing it cost the taxpayer an increase of 100% ie from £1.9m to the £3.8m?? It has been a long process to undo the structure that we inherited.

  • GPA ANNUAL REPORT for the PERIOD 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015
    GPA ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 April 2014 TO 31 March 2015 The Police Act 2006 (the “Act”) sets out the responsibilities and powers of the Gibraltar Police Authority (hereinafter, the “Authority”). Section 8 of the Act requires the Authority to produce an annual Policing Plan for the Royal Gibraltar Police (the “RGP”) setting targets to support level objectives and priorities of policing for each calendar year commencing on 1st April. The Plan for the year ended 31 March 2015 was prepared and approved by the Authority in March 2014. The Policing Plan reflects both the priorities of the Governor in respect of those aspects of policing for which he is responsible and, the priorities of the Government in relation to policing as indicated to the Authority by the Chief Minister. The Commissioner of Police is also consulted by the Authority when preparing each annual Policing Plan. Each Policing Plan is generally based on the level of financial and human resources that are likely to be made available to the RGP by the Government for the forthcoming year. The Policing Plan for the year ended 31 March 2015 also took into account the responses received from the general public to the public consultation questionnaire undertaken by the Authority during the course of December 2013 and January 2014. The Authority is particularly pleased to note that in a subsequent public consultation carried out in December 2014, approximately three-quarters of all respondents agreed with all of the policing priorities set out in the 2014/2015 Policing Plan. Section 10 of the Act requires the Authority to produce an Annual Report setting out the extent to which the RGP has fulfilled the annual Policing Plan for the previous year.
