Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

Umsimbithi Wonderfontein Mine is authorised to expand its mining area in order to utilise the coal reserve located in the north-eastern region of the mining boundary. The existing P15-1 road however currently crosses over the coal reserve resulting in the sterilisation of the reserve along the alignment of the road. The mine therefore plans to permanently divert a section of the P15-1 road around the reserve so that the coal can be utilised.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The planned road diversion is located within the boundaries of Wonderfontein Mine within the jurisdictional area of Emakhazeni Local Municipality (ELM). The farm portions relevant to the application includes Portions 3, 7, 19, 22, 26, 44 and the Remaining Extent of the Farm Wonderfontein 428 JS. It is expected that the proposed road diversion will be 4.349 km in length and 8 m in width and will have a road reserve of 40 m. The construction phase will last between six to nine months.
