Interim CommentThe SAHRA APM Unit notes that a HIA has been conducted, however the report has not been attached to the case on SAHRIS. The development area is located within an area of very high sensitivity in terms of palaeontological resources as per the SAHRIS PalaeoSensitivity map, As such, a field-based 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 submission of the HIA and the PIA reports.
