ProposalDescription: 

The eThekwini Economic Development Unit and Planning Department has proposed the upgrading and widening of the Main 385 Road (M50) between Anderson Road and Stanley Metheven Drive, Hammarsdale. This includes the construction of an additional lane in both directions, the widening of the bridge over the Sterkspruit River as well as all associated storm water control. The upgrade and expansion has been proposed to meet the increased traffic pressure associated with the construction of numerous new developments in the area. The proposed development includes:  Earthwork excavations to design level,  Import of suitable materials as per the pavement design report,  Retaining walls,  Bridge widening,  Storm water installation,  Asphalt sidewalks with barrier/mountable kerbing and  Ancillary road works.

Expanded_Motivation: 

A site inspection on 13 November 2013 revealed that the proposed development site has been subject to decades of severe environmental disturbance, including periodic flooding of the Sterkspruit River; road, bridge and power line constructions; and the operation of numerous commercial and light industrial premises. The SAHRIS Palaeosensitivity Map indicates that the area has low sensitivity, requiring no palaeontological studies. However, a protocol for finds is required. Accordingly, we request that Amafa grant an exemption from an HIA for this activity, allowing the project to proceed with no further heritage resource mitigation.
