Here is the latest feedback from the City's Environmental Resource Management team:
Further to our earlier email, the following progress: a) The matter has been reported to DEADP and they will conduct a site visit today with our City ‘Green Scorpion’ (Linda Ndlela) b) Our branch will serve a notice to issue a directive for what appears to be damage to the river banks and infilling c) Catchment Management will visit the site and take whatever action they deem appropriate, most likely a notice ito Storm Water Management Bylaw d) We are investigating the demolition of structures along Liesbeeck River (what appears to be a wall and part of a building) that could have been older than 60 years.
