George Airport Eastern Precinct Roads Masterplan Upgrade
8 October 2020 – 9 November 2020
HilLand Environmental, independent Environmental Assessment Practitioners (EAP) have been appointed by the Applicant, George Municipality, to ensure compliance with the regulations contained in the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA, No 107 of 1998) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014 for the George Airport Eastern Precinct Masterplan Upgrade.
The project entails the upgrade of the existing R404 in the Airport Precinct and the development of a new municipal service access road to the precinct. The application will involve the provision of traffic circles / signals at the various intersections. Expropriation will be required for the new municipal road and for the widening of the R404 in places.
The George Roads Master planning for the Airport Precinct has been undertaken and this BA process is the result of that process in order to obtain the necessary Environmental Authorisation for the various listed activities.
The Draft Basic Assessment Report and associated appendices have been available for a 30-day commenting period until 9 November 2020. All comments received during this period are included in the Final Basic Assessment Report and was submitted to the Competent Authority (Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning – George) on the 15th December 2020 for final decision making.
