ProposalDescription: 

Development of Ballito Beach Club, Ballito, KZN

Expanded_Motivation: 

Balwin Properties wish to develop a vacant plot of land located along the coastline at Erf 14, Ballito, iLembe District. The development will see the construction of “Ballito Beach Club”, a four-storey development with a restaurant, offices and residential uses. An archaeological site, 2931CA 044, was originally recorded in 1958, and revisited in the 1960s on Erf 14. The site is a shell midden presumed to date to the Historical Period. The shell midden has not been disturbed since its recording and is the last intact shell midden for at least 2km to the north and south. Continual development between Zimbali Coastal Estate and Sheffield Beach has resulted in the loss of most of the coastal shell middens. 2931CA 044 is considered to have medium significance. This midden requires test-pit excavations prior to construction and possibly on site monitoring during construction Application is for three items: (1) Section 38(1) comment by KZNARI, (2) permit to excavate the shell midden (2931CA 044) by Gavin Anderson, and (3) a permit to destroy/damage the shell midden (2931CA 044) by I Van Zyl of Balwin Properties.
