Interim Comment
The SAHRA Archaeology, Palaeontology, Meteorite (APM) Unit notes the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and the recommendations provided therein.
The proposed development area is of moderate palaeontological sensitivity as per the SAHRIS PalaeoSensitivity Map, therefore, a desktop Palaeontological Impact Assessment (PIA) must be undertaken by a qualified palaeontologist (See https://www.palaeosa.org/heritage-practitioners.html for a list of qualified palaeontologists). The report must comply with the 2012 Minimum Standards: Palaeontological Components of Heritage Impact Assessments.
Further comments will be issued upon receipt of the PIA report.
