Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) intends to construct infrastructure services in anticipation of a housing development in iBhayi, Ward 24, adjacent to the Swartkops power station, NMBM. The erven affected by this proposal is erf 8531 and erf 52009. The proposed residential sites will occupy about 21,442.93 m2 in area with an average erf size of 171.51 m2.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed site is heavily impacted on with currently approximately 20 shacks on site. The proposed development covers approximately 3.3 ha and will supply a total of 131 erven. The 131 erven being developed consist of 125 erven that will accommodate dwellings and 6 erven for Public Open Space. The area is currently occupied by informal settlements. The proposed residential sites will occupy about 21,442.93 m2 in area with an average erf size of 171.51 m2. The 6 erven for public open space is approximately 3,787.21 m2 in area and the planned roads will occupy about 595 m in length. Erf 8531 already has ten (10) houses on it that will either be rebuilt or upgraded in addition to the five (5) new houses being built. The total area of Erf 8531 is 3,787.21 m2. Erf 52009 is the larger portion of the proposed development with a total area of 32,851.33 m2. The erf currently accommodates approximately 25 houses which will be rebuilt or upgraded. An additional 131 houses will be built as part of this project. All construction material will be sourced from commercial sources, hence no need for mining authorisation. The proposed services to be installed include roads, site water services, stormwater systems and sewage management systems for each erf that will contain a house. Potable water from existing municipal facilities will be provided for each house. The sewerage system will be water-borne and link up to the existing municipal network. The municipal sewer pipes will be made of 160mm diameter, class 34, uPVC pipes. Other waste management service will also be incorporated into the municipal system. The roads will be tarred and consist of mountable kerbs at all road edges with residential properties, with the exception of bellmouths and at kerb inlets. The roads will all have new road signs and roadmarkings to conform to the South African Road Traffic Signs Manual (SARTSM) and the municipal standard details. The roads will have stormwater structures to handle surface runoff. The stormwater structures will link up to existing stormwater infrastructure.
