2.3.2 Hartbeespoort Dam Structure Plan, 1997

The Hartbeespoort Dam Structure Plan makes a number of detailed developmentproposals for the areas around the dam, which includes varying degrees of urbanandresidentialdevelopmentarounddifferentpartsofthedam(refertoFigure6).Thedocumentalsoindicatesdesirabledevelopmentsdensitiesforvariousareas.

2.3.3 Madibeng Environmental Management Framework, 2009

TherationalefortheEnvironmentalManagementFramework(EMF)isbasedonthefactthatthe-

“municipality is experiencing development pressure, especially along the south through to the eastern boundaries, which is threatening the sustainability of its natural resources. As a result, one of the main aims of the EMF would be to define the envi-ronmental limits within which development can occur and the levels of environmental quality beyond which development cannot be sustained. This will be achieved by en-suring that the EMF is used to pro-actively plan development expansion in a sustain-

able manner.”

TheEMFidentifiedfourdevelopmentconstraintzones(DCZ)for themunicipality,asindicated inTable5andFigure7.Pleasenote that the recommended landusesasindicatedinthistablemerelyrepresentsasummaryofthelandusesindicatedintheEMF,andtheEMFitselfshouldbeconsulted fordetailed informationregarding landusesinspecificareas.
