As part of various environmental authorisation processes, it is often a legislated requirement to place relevant information in the public domain and to obtain comments from stakeholders on the material published, these comments are to be submitted to the competent authorities to aid their decision making process.
One of the most effective means of doing so in the 21st century is to make documents available to download over the internet. Below you will be able to find public documents relevant to our projects, as well as notifications of public meetings and correspondence.
If you would like to register as an Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) for any of our projects, at any time, please feel free to correspond by sending an email to stakeholders@kongiwe.co.za.
Special Notice
It is now common knowledge that following the declaration of a National State of Disaster by the President on 15 March 2019 in terms of the provisions of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 Act No 57 of 2002) and the subsequent Regulations published on 18 March 2020 in Government Gazette 43107, a full scale National Lockdown has been declared which strictly controls public access.
For the duration of the Lockdown, Kongiwe has arranged for all of its staff to work from home and we will remain at your service to the extent that such services can safely and legally be conducted.
Extension of Time Periods
In terms of Regulation GN R439 of 31 March 2020, the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, acting in terms of the Regulations issued in terms of section 27(2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2002, has extended to timeframes prescribed in terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2014, the National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 and National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004, by the number of days of the duration of the lockdown period of the national state of disaster declared for the COVID-19 pandemic, including any extensions to such duration, with effect from 27 March 2020 until the termination of the lockdown period.
This means that time lines previously indicated as being available for public comment on applications for environmental authorisations, will be extended by 21 days.
Please contact Kongiwe at stakeholders@kongiwe.co.za for any further information.
