Case Decision

You are hereby notified that, since there is no reason to believe that the proposed installation of the Swellendam bulk water reticulation, purification and distribution system on multiple Erven in Swellendam will have an impact on heritage resources, no further action under Section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) is required. The Heritage Western Cape Chance Finds Protocol must be included the EA, EMPr, or any other form of potential approval.


However, should any heritage resources, including evidence of graves and human burials, archaeological material and paleontological material be discovered during the execution of the activities above, all works must be stopped immediately, and Heritage Western Cape must be notified without delay.


This letter does not exonerate the applicant from obtaining any necessary approval from any other applicable statutory authority.
HWC reserves the right to request additional information as required.


Should you have any further queries, please contact the official above and quote the case number.
