Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The proposed project consists of a bulk stormwater channel and discharge system, namely: • The Aquadene Phase 2 Development: Bulk Stormwater. Northern Outfall Drainage Channel (1,860m) The Northern Outfall Drainage Channel allows for partial drainage of the proposed Aquadene Phase 2 development towards the north of the site via the Sappi and Mondi forestry area and finally discharging into the existing natural drainage path.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The City of uMhlathuze proposes an extension to the existing Aquadene suburb to provide affordable government housing. The development will make a significant contribution to alleviating the current low to middle income housing backlog experienced within the boundaries of the uMhlathuze. The proposed site is currently undeveloped with no existing stormwater infrastructure installed to service the proposed Aquadene Phase 2 development draining northwards into the Wetland Area 2. The existing Aquadene Phase 1 development does have existing stormwater infrastructure, however the infrastructure drains west, east and southwards. The area towards the north of the proposed Aquadene Phase 2 development is currently Mondi and Sappi Forestry owned land with existing natural drainage paths and no formal infrastructure. With no formal stormwater drainage the development will not comply with municipal design standards and regulations and the development will not be approved for implementation. This will result in numerous grievances by the community for lack of provision of further housing in the Aquadene suburb. Therefore in order to service the needs of the Phase 2 development stormwater needs to be managed efficiently and this project has been implemented to address this need.
