The proposed amendment is for a change in layout of the approved mixed use development in order to:
- Include a recreational lagoon at Jukskei View X118;
- Increase the development density of the residential component of the development;
- Change the layout of other land-uses and introduce additional facilities where required and to link the development clusters on the other side of Maxwell Drive with the lagoon development node;
- Amend the storm water, water, sewer, road pedestrian walkway, access point layouts/concepts/alignments in order to accommodate the amendments in the layout and facilities associated with the development;
- To allow for the introduction of low impact recreational facilities in the areas below the 1:100 year flood line and within the 32m watercourse/ river buffer. The activities will amongst others include pedestrian walkways, wooden decks/boardwalks, jetty’s, low impact pedestrian crossings, the possible placing of rocks/objects in areas where river is to be crossed on natural rocks, the rehabilitation of vegetation, the establishment of man-made eco-systems/ wetlands in order to improve the water quality, the possible placement of litter traps in designated areas, the introduction of indigenous vegetation in areas where rehabilitation and beautification are required, the introduction of benches, litter bins, lighting, bird hides and other street furniture/structures in areas as proposed by engineers and landscape architects, the implementation of security measures where required; and
- To apply for the amendment of the Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) where required to accommodate the proposed changes.
