  • Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022
    Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022 THIRD AMENDMENT 28 MAY 2020 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2017-2022 Compiled in terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) Amendments approved by the Municipal Council on 28 May 2020 The Integrated Development Plan is the Municipality’s principal five year strategic plan that deals with the most critical development needs of the municipal area (external focus) as well as the most critical governance needs of the organisation (internal focus). The Integrated Development Plan – is adopted by the council within one year after a municipal election and remains in force for the council’s elected term (a period of five years); is drafted and reviewed annually in consultation with the local community as well as interested organs of state and other role players; guides and informs all planning and development, and all decisions with regard to planning, management and development; forms the framework and basis for the municipality’s medium term expenditure framework, annual budgets and performance management system; and seeks to promote integration by balancing the economic, ecological and social pillars of sustainability without compromising the institutional capacity required in the implementation, and by coordinating actions across sectors and spheres of government. AREA PLANS FOR 2020/2021 The five area plans, i.e. Swartland North (Moorreesburg and Koringberg), Swartland East (Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel), Swartland West (Darling and Yzerfontein), Swartland South (Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal) and Swartland Central (Malmesbury) help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable.

    Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae: Irideae) P . GOLDBLATT* and J .C . MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

    HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN – AUGUST 2019 HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN The acid sands of marine origins and the Malmesbury shales of the Swartland meet at Hopefield. Here, the interplay of soil types and water permeability of these substrates as well as the climatic influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean leads to unique habitats and many seasonal wetlands. Thus, the area has many interesting endemic and threatened plant taxa and it is no surprise that Hopefield is now renowned for its annual flower show which is run by a passionate and knowledgeable group of local volunteers (Maree and Vromans 2010).

  • Appendix C5: Heritage Imapct Assessment
    APPENDIX C5: HERITAGE IMAPCT ASSESSMENT A Heritage Impact Assessment for the Grid Connection Alternatives, Boulders Wind Farm, Vredenberg Peninsula Prepared for CES Pty Ltd June 2019 Draft 1 Prepared by Tim Hart ACO Associates 8 Jacobs Ladder St James Cape Town 7945 Phone (021) 706 4104 Fax (086) 603 7195 Email: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACO Associates was appointed by CES Pty Ltd to assess the impact of the installation of a 132 KV power line to evacuate power from the Proposed Boulder Wind Farm on the Vredenberg Peninsula. The proposed activity is the construction of a powerline to evacuate electricity from the Boulders Wind farm (NID and HIA completed by Kathryn Smuts 2018) to the Eskom distribution network. Some 5 routes have been proposed of which route 3 is considered the most favorable by the proponent. Given that the entire landscape incorporating all the 5 routes has been surveyed and heritage sites recorded, it is with confidence that the impacts on heritage are assessed. Impacts Paleontology All the proposed activity is confined to the granite hills terrain which is considered not very palaeontologically sensitive. This fact combined with the small footprint of the proposed activity means that the chances of encountering any paleontological material are extremely low. As a precaution, a fossil finds protocol is included in Appendix 1. Mitigation • No specific mitigation is recommended • In the unlikely event of a find, the matter must be reported to Heritage Western Cape and a Palaeontologist. • The fossil finds protocol must be implemented. Archaeology The impact on archaeology and historic sites is very low, with only one archaeological site previously identified in the corridor of Route 3.
