The RERA Chair sent out a WhatsApp notice notice to residents drawing their attention to a proposal by the owners of Erf 141 to have the smallholding rezoned to allow for the development of a Distillery and Tasting Room. They have asked The proposal indicates that various environmental and other mitigating approaches will be used. Although it states that they will use the Pringle Bay entrance -- all the traffic still to date in carrying out building work is accessing through the Porter Drive entrance in Rooiels. This is of concern for the very fragile fynbos ecosystem on the slopes of Klein Hangklip, including the Rockjumpers. It is not sure how there can be a guarantee that the access to 141 will not continue to be Rooiels, or subsequently if the property is sold, be through an area which is of importance to biodiversity and Rooiels. Once the zoning has been changed, there are no measures to ensure which entrance is used. All residents are asked to consider this carefully, advise RERA of the position they would like RERA to take, and/or if they consider it appropriate, also make their own response/objections to this proposal to the Overstrand Municipality before 4th June 2021 ([email protected])
