The scoping report will be available to interested and affected parties for a period of 40 days, starting 21 January, at the Hartenbos Library.

Strategic Environmental Focus (Pty) Ltd (SEF) has been appointed by the ATKV to conduct an environmental application process for the proposed residential development. All comments received during the 40 day period will be incorporated into the Final Scoping Report for consideration by the approving authorities.
The entire property is approximately 310 hectare, of which the development will take up approximately 50 hectare. The development will be situated on a hill and overlook Hartenbos.
The ATKV focuses on establishing resorts and retirement villages for which there is an increasing demand. The proposed development aims to be a retirement village/nursing home with residential units. As the property is too small to operate as an economic farming unit and is situated so that it is a natural extension of the existing town, it is deemed ideal for the proposed development.
