I refer to SRK Consulting: 478320 River Club Redevelopment Impact Assessment Page 3 Freshwater ecology – potential loss of, and changes to the quality or functioning of freshwater habitats within the project Area of Influence; • Fauna – potential faunal species mortalities, and changes in faunal habitat quality and connectivity; • Flora – potential changes in floral species composition at the site and adjacent areas; Also • An increase in flood velocity at the confluence of the rehabilitated Liesbeek Canal and Black River will create localised and isolated High Hazard Flood zones for flood return events of 1:50 years or less frequent along the western banks of the rehabilitated Liesbeek Canal (Riverine Concept Alternative only Referring to :SRK Consulting: 478320 River Club Redevelopment Impact Assessment Page 15 LAWM/dalc 478320_River Club_BAR Impact Assessment_July 2019_Final May 2019 the “High Hazard Zone” (and floods pose a risk to people and structures here). Figure 2-2 illustrates that an area is considered to be located within the High Hazard Zone if water depth exceeds 0.8 m and water velocity exceeds 2 m/s Referring to: 4.3.5 Potential Impact FE7: Changes to Habitat Quality in Rehabilitated Areas The Riverine Corridor Alternative and the Island Concept Alternative During operations, activities at the site and poor maintenance could degrade areas rehabilitated during construction, offsetting many of the anticipated ecological benefits. Activities at the site, and poor maintenance could lead to the following changes in rehabilitated environments: • Simplification of planted vegetation (and the expansion of grassed areas); • Development encroachment into rehabilitated areas; • Blocking of faunal pathways; • Incision and channelization of the low flow channel in the rehabilitated Liesbeek Canal; • Proliferation of invasive plant species; • Disturbance from increased human traffic in sensitive and rehabilitated areas; and • Predation by domestic animals. The impact is assessed to be of low significance and with the implementation of mitigation is reduced to insignificant (Table 2-14). 2.5.2.1 Potential Impact FA1: Faunal Mortalities During construction, construction vehicles will traverse (poor quality) terrestrial faunal habitat, and move within and close to wetlands and watercourses close to the site, and it is inevitable that this will lead to faunal mortalities from collisions. Pitfall fatalities of small faunal species are also possible. By far the faunal species of greatest concern at the site is the Endangered WLT. Although development, housing and job creation through construction is necessary I don't believe that this specific area should be sacrificed. The rivers and wetlands are vital for the survival of the WLT, bird species and the Cape Clawless Otter. Having such a built up area next to it would be devastating.

Between Hartleyvale Stadium and the railway line. I can be contacted via email at: [email protected] My objection is a simple one, and based on current circumstances. 1. Traffic congestion in the precinct, specifically during peak hours, is already a major problem, with gridlock on station road up as far as lower main road on most afternoons from as early as 3.30pm until well after 6pm. Even a small development in the precinct will exacerbate this situation. A development of the size proposed is guaranteed to create a situation of chaos, even with severe reworking of the roads and access points to the River Club precinct. 2. The area is a wetland. I am not sure why this issue seems to be continually overlooked by the developer. There is plenty of more viable vacant property in the vicinity for such a development. 3. Very few homes in the surrounding area have off street parking as it is, and, especially after hours, there is already a shortage of on-street parking for current residents. Based again on the size of this development, any parking overflow (and there will be if parking inside the development is not free) will result in an even greater shortage for residents to find parking outside, or even near to their own homes. The narrow streets in the suburb are also an exacerbating factor. To summarise, while I am not opposed to a modest upgrade of the area that takes environmental impact and congestion well into consideration, and respects the heritage of the area, and is inclusive. I am absolutely opposed, and object in the strongest terms, to the construction of a development of the density and magnitude proposed, which is guaranteed to favour greed and profit over humanity, stomp on the environment, destroy wildlife, make it impossibly expensive for those who have lived in the area and called it home for many years, and turn a beautiful and functional space into an eyesore. While I understand the need for upgrading and maintenance of all areas, I am absolutely opposed to developers who use their financial prowess to ride roughshod over those with less means and no voice, to bypass due process, to jump the gun, and to ‘bend’ the rules. I am opposed to this development as proposed, even in the unlikely event that the developer actually does not exceed the limits on the plans he is showing the public, and the gentrification and exclusion that will follow. -- From: Dot Feast To: Amy Hill Cc: [email protected] Subject: River club Date: Monday, 16 September 2019 06:45:46 EMAIL subject: River Club Redevelopment Pre-Application BAR Dear Amy, My name is Dorothy Feast and I prefer to be contacted by mail Re: Erf 151832, Erf 26426, ERF 108936, Erf 26427, Erf 15326 Rem, Erf 26169, Erf 26170, Erf 26171, Erf 26172, Erf 26173, Erf 26174 and Erf 26175), DEA&DP Ref.

No.: 16/2/7/G22/A/11 and WU9026 River Club, Cape Town I grew up in the SAAO and as a child Played in the black river and was witness to its diverse and rich natural life. This development will irrevocably destroy the natural surrounds and biodiverse habitat that is there. 1. My objection is based on the design (in main report and Appendix G6 pages 51 to 57). The height of 50m, scale and density of the development will impact the local area in changing the view and aesthetic of the area. The buildings will completely change the local environment and will affect the experience and view from the national heritage site at the Observatory and surroundings areas. It will detract from existing walkability along the rivers and the potential for improved access and walkability is not attractive as the development is largely commercial and so busy in the day and empty at night. 2. My objection is based on the policy coherence because social housing needs to be included in all developments so this benefit is not a benefit that adds to this application in particular. 3. My objection is based on the flood risk and hydrology. I object to increasing the flood risk and reducing the ability of the river to adapt to climate change by adding several meters of concrete into the very soil sponge of a floodplain that currently absorb the increasingly risky weather events. This shifts the greater risk and uncertainty on ratepayers, residents and commuters in the whole catchment area of the Black and Liesbeek Rivers and tributaries. The proposed river ‘rehabilitation’ does not offset the loss of flood absorption capacity and sets a dangerous precedent for future development in floodplains, giving others the right to do the same, and further reducing our ability to adapt to extreme weather.

This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

    WATER QUALITY OF RIVERS AND OPEN WATERBODIES IN THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN: STATUS AND HISTORICAL TRENDS, WITH A FOCUS ON THE PERIOD APRIL 2015 TO MARCH 2020 FINAL AUGUST 2020 TECHNICAL REPORT PREPARED BY Liz Day Dean Ollis Tumisho Ngobela Nick Rivers-Moore City of Cape Town Inland Water Quality Technical Report FOREWORD The City has committed itself, in its new Water Strategy, to become a Water Sensitive City by 2040. A Water Sensitive City is a city where rivers, canals and streams are accessible, inclusive and safe to use. The City is releasing this Technical Report on the quality of water in our watercourses, to promote transparency and as a spur to action to achieve this goal. While some of our 20 river catchments are in a relatively good /near natural state, there are six catchments with particularly serious challenges. Overall, the data show that we have a long way to go to achieve our goal. Where this report has revealed areas of concern, the City commits to full transparency around possible causes which need to be addressed from within the organization, however we request that residents always keep in mind the role they have to play, and take on their share of responsibility for ensuring the next report paints a more favourable picture. It is in all of our interests. On the City’s side, efforts to address water pollution are being intensified. We have drastically stepped up the upgrading of wastewater treatment works, assisted by loan funding, and are constantly working to reduce sewer overflows, improve solid waste collection/cleansing, and identify and prosecute offenders.

  • Discharge and Water Quality of the Liesbeek River and Implications for Stormwater Harvesting
    Discharge and water quality of the Liesbeek River and implications for stormwater harvesting By-pass channel for recharging the Valkenburg wetlands and groundwater during peak flow: (April 2014) Fahad Aziz and Kevin Winter Environmental & Geographical Science and Future Water, UCT 1 Worldwide urban river catchments are deteriorating as a result of five main factors that are typically cited in the research literature: elevated peak flows causing flooding and erosion; increased nutrient levels; contamination from heavy metals from stormwater runoff; decreasing biodiversity and support for habitat; and declining ecological services. Once degraded urban waterways are often treated as stormwater conduits that are a nuisance factor and are pronounced as ecologically sterile or dead. The condition of the urban river syndrome is the result of a combination of good intentions with unintended consequences, benign neglect and limitations of resources occur from the restoration of urban waterways. Cape Town has learnt a few lessons during the recent drought and now aspires to create a water sensitive city by 2040 one in which water is valued, conserved, well managed and used sustainably for human and ecological purposes. This report suggests how stormwater is used for various non-potable water use and for recharging groundwater by harvesting water from the Liesbeek River during rainfall event to improve water security, prevent or reduce flooding and improve the condition of urban waterways through flow modulation. The study is also describes the methods and results that were achieved by capturing high resolution data on current discharge and water quality of the lower Liesbeek River, and the implications for groundwater and aquifer recharge.

  • PSA Concerned About Temporary Resettlement of Homeless People in Overburdened Mitchell’S Plain
    MEDIA RELEASE Covid-19: PSA concerned about temporary resettlement of homeless people in overburdened Mitchell’s Plain DATE 6 April 2020 EMBARGO None ENQUIRIES [email protected] The PSA, as a Union representing more than 24 500 members in the Western Cape, many of whom are rendering essential services in a variety of key Government Departments, is deeply concerned about the reported placement of homeless people at the Strandfontein Sports Field in Mitchell's Plain, during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The PSA, which represents thousands of employees at Health institutions, the SA Police Service, SASSA and the Department of Home Affairs, is concerned that Mitchell's Plain is already facing a huge challenge whenever there is service delivery protest action and residents of the informal settlement, literally close the area. The PSA supports the need for homeless people need to be accommodated and properly cared for at a site where their exposure to COVID-19 can be mitigated. The concern is, however, that Strandfontein Road is the only alternative route that Mitchell's Plain residents can use should Jakes Gerwel Drive be blocked. Under current circumstances, the risk of protest action is high. Should this become a reality, there is a risk that it will bring Mitchell's Plain to standstill and will prevent service delivery. In addition, a large portion of public sector workers come from the Mitchell's Plain area and a blocking of the area will result in many essential workers not being able to reach their work, will be catastrophic. In addition, the Strandfontein Sports Field is far away from Health facilities, which presents transportation challenges.
