MOSSEL BAY NEWS - At its monthly meeting on Thursday, 27 October, the Mossel Bay Council approved a recommendation that the tariffs applicable to the demolition certificates for affected houses in Seemeeu Vlug and Tuscan Village and others in Seemeeu Park be waived.
This follows Council's decision on 22 September to commence with the prescribed process in terms of the Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) that the affected portion of the area affected by ground instability as a result of the landslip be declared a disaster area and that owners of affected homes be instructed to vacate their homes for their own safety.
Due to the effects of the soil movement and ground instability on existing homes Council was appraised of the likelihood that affected structures would have to be demolished.
Although the applicable tariff is waived, the affected owners in the disaster area still have to submit application forms for the municipality to issue the required demolition certificate prior to the commencement of any demolitions.
