FIRGROVE AND SOETVLEI FIELDS - UPDATE




The Environmental Partnership recently distributed a notice to Interested and Affected Parties, stating that the Environmental Impact Assessment is 'on hold'.

What does this mean?

We understand that the Environmental Partnership is still under contract and the terms of the brief have not changed. However, the profile of the client (Provincial Government) has changed, and the ownership of the land is in dispute. Therefore, until such time as these factors are settled, the Environmental Partnership will proceed no further with the Firgrove/Soetvlei project.

Meanwhile, we continue to liaise with the Provincial Government, the City of Cape Town and other key constituencies who have a direct interest in the intended use of this land. Our goal is to assist in finding solutions that will replace the current uncertainty with confidence and long term benefits for all stakeholders.
