ProposalDescription: 

Transnet Freight Rail intend to construct a concrete security wall from the New Brighton yard to Swartkops in iBhayi, Ward 60. The proposed wall will be constructed in close proximity to a wetland, and this triggers the requirement for Environmental Authorisation and authorisation from the Department of WAter and Sanitation. The need for the security wall came about when the Qaqawuli informal settlement began encroaching on TFR's property which not only resulted in financial losses due to theft and vandalism, but also poses a safety threat to dwellers of the informal settlement due to the proximity to the railway lines.
