Expansion of Infrastructure at 31 Little Maritzburg Road, Shakas Rock

Peter Gotz proposes to expand an existing residential dwelling on Erf 157 of Shakas Rock Township, located at 31 Little Maritzburg Road, KwaDukuza Local Municipality, iLembe District. The project includes the construction of a geofabric defence structure along the shoreline. The expansion of infrastructure on site will take place within 100m of the high-water mark of the sea. The excavation of material on site during construction as well as the placement of the geofabric defence structure on dunes / exposed sand requires Environmental Authorisation from EDTEA. The existing house is not a heritage feature (i.e. it is younger than 60 years). No structures with heritage or archaeological value are located on site. The property falls within a “highly” sensitive palaeontological (i.e. fossils) area.
