ProposalDescription:

PROPOSED UCL AVO PACKAGING PLANT ON PORTION 22 (OF 18) OF ERF 162 UITMUNTEND, UMTSHWATHI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, KZN

Expanded_Motivation:

The proposed UCL Avo Packaging Plant is located within Portion 22 (of 18) of Erf 162 Uitmuntend (Centre Point Coordinates: 29°20'16.12"S; 30°38'0.53"E) adjacent to the UCL Sugar Mill in the town of Dalton, uMtshwathi Local Municipality, uMgungundlovu District Municipality, KZN. The proposed Avo Packaging Plant will be located on a 9.43 ha patch of land (presently under sugarcane cultivation) of which 1.4 ha will be utilised as the development area. As the site is within an active sugarcane farm, the catchment area of the Avo Packaging Plant is also primarily dominated by active sugarcane cultivation as well as a functioning sugar mill. The site is situated on a fairly low gradient slope which drains in a north easterly direction towards the Pambanyoni Stream, a watercourse located approximately 350m downslope of the site. The UCL Avo Packaging plant will be purchasing the avocados from the surrounding farmers, where it will be packaged and essentially distributed for sale. The study area is surrounded by neighbouring towns of Cool Air and New Hanover, which lies approximately 3.8 km north and 8.4 km west respectively. The study area can be accessed via the R614 (which traverses the town of Dalton) and Jacaranda Road. It is envisaged that the proposed development will seek to employ approximately 64 personnel during the construction phase and 39 staff members during the operational phase broken up into 11 skilled employees and 28 unskilled employees
