To manage the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) application process, the applicant
(NTG Solutions Pty Ltd) on behalf of Housing Development Agency appointed Envirostep
Pty Ltd as an independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner as required by the EIA
Regulations, 2014 to assist in preparing and submitting the Scoping and Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) Reports as well as undertaking a Public Participation Process
(PPP), to obtain an Environmental Authorisation (EA) for the proposed Majakaneng
Township Development.
NTG Solutions on behalf of Housing Development Agency intends to develop Majakaneng
Township by constructing approximately 1000 residential opportunities. Therefore, an
environmental impact assessment (EIA) has commenced, assisting the developer in
identifying all potential adverse environmental consequences of the project, their extent, and
significance and to ensure that the environmental management requirements are adequately
implemented.
The EIA process is prescribed by Chapter 5 of the Environmental Management Act, 1998
(Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended and the 2014 Environmental Regulations published as
GN No. R. 326. A Scoping Assessment Process must be undertaken for activities as listed in
Regulation No. R. 327 and 325 that may have a significant impact on the environment. A full
public participation process forms part of the EIA and is discussed in further detail in the
report.
