The administration has also ensured that goals, objectives and strategies put on place be forthwith implemented to the satisfaction of all stakeholders whilst ensuring full compliance to all legal requirements. This report highlights our main achievements for 2013 and projects our objectives for 2014. S. TEELUCK CHIEF EXECUTIVE 3 Page 3 ANNUAL REPORT 1.1 Chairperson’s Statement It is a great honour and privilege for me to present the first Annual Report for the District Council of Grand port for the year 2013. Following the split of the then Grand Port Savanne District Council into the District Council of Grand Port and the District Council of Savanne in 2012, we are now called upon to administer only 24 out of the 36 Village Councils formerly under our administration. However, following with the splitting we had had to share human and financial resources including logistics with the District Council of Savanne. We regret to have parted from the twelve villages but are now in a better position to focus on our reduced administrative area and face new challenges for the welfare growth and benefit of people residing within our area. We have materialised many projects in 2013 thanks to my fellow Councillors and dedicated staff. Most of our aims, objectives and strategies have been successfully been realised thanks to the leadership and expertise of our Chief Executive, Mr S. Teeluck. Despite our constraints, we are putting much effort to satisfy the increasing and pressing needs of residents and economic operators of our administrative area.

Indeed on 20 September 1598 Dutch captain Van Warwick landed on the shores of Mauritius at Ferney to repair his ships which were damaged by storms and to look for food and fresh water. Forty years later that is in 1638, the Dutch came to settle in Mauritius and built a fort at Vieux Grand Port. They left the island on 1710. A monument to remind us of the Dutch settlement in Mauritius stands at Ferney. When the Dutch departed, the French came and settled at Grand Port in 1722. The island was named Ile de France. Vieux Grand Port was built by Denyon. Also Mahebourg was built by the last French Governor of Ile de France Decaen at the mouth of River La Chaux and was named after Mahé de Labourdonnais. The French also built a fort at Ile de la Passe. In 1810, the famous battle of Vieux Grand Port between the French and the English took place. Many items and artefacts such as canons, bullets, haul of magicienne battleship and porcelain related to the battle are displayed at the National History Museum of Mahebourg. Developments around the island and at Grand Port during the various colonies were mostly effected by slaves who chose to stay along the coast after the abolition of slavery in 1835. A monument to commemorate the abolition of slavery stands at Pointe Canon, Mahebourg. 8 Page 8 ANNUAL REPORT 3.3 The Logo of The District Council of Grand Port Keeping up with tradition, this logo has been designed as a coat of arms with highlights on the historical landmarks and attractions on the Grand Port District, namely: the landing of the Dutch, the famous battle of Vieux Grand Port, our main international airport in Mauritius and the slavery memorial not to mention the rich fauna of and the unique attractions of this multi-facetted district. The blue lagoon with its myriad of islands, the legendary Mahebourg regatta and the fortresses that once protected this part of the island enhance the overall aesthetic look. The main image icon is itself surrounded, as if protected, by the District Council of Grand Port illustrated in a simple and legible typography that adds a touch of class to the logo.

    Appendix 3.2.4 Effects of the constructed countermeasure works (evaluations) JICA Technical cooperation project: Landslide adviser for Mauritius (Final Report) Appendix 3.2.4 Effects of the constructed countermeasure works (evaluations) Existing slope countermeasures were found only in two sites of the total 18, and it was judged that those countermeasures were insufficient by MPI and JET. <Management No.2016-010, Maconde> This slope is located at the cape of Maconde on the south coast of the island. Most of the rock falls were from the basalt part of the cliff. In July and August 2014, RDA carried out removal works of rocks which were unstable and close to the road, and a new road (shift of alignment) was built to reduce the damage from rock falls. In addition, a retaining wall with a rockfall protection fence has been installed in one part of the site. However, it was judged that those countermeasures were insufficient. Rock falls and small rock failures are also a frequent occurrence along the new road because the rocks are weathered, and there is a high possibility of rock fall in future.

As an existing countermeasure, a boundary wall was constructed by the land developer, but it had been already collapsed in 2012. In the future, a retaining wall should be installed there as a permanent countermeasure for the slope.
