Notification of Postponement of Scoping Report Submission

Post by Lisbeth »

7th December 2011
Dear Registered Interested and Affected Parties
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF A HOTEL AT THE
CONFLUENCE OF THE TIMFENHENI AND CROCODILE RIVERS WITHIN THE KRUGER NATIONAL
PARK (MALELANE) – MPUMALANGA PROVINCE

Our previous correspondence to all registered Interested and Affected Parties dated 8 October
2011 has reference.

In the above mentioned correspondence, V&L Landscape Architects (V&L) committed to making
the Scoping Report for the proposed hotel development available for public comment early in
November 2011. Unfortunately, V&L have not obtained all required specialist studies as yet and
therefore we are not in a position to make the Scoping Report available.
In our efforts to ensure that I&AP’s have access to all relevant information and to provide a
comprehensive Scoping Report for comment, V&L have deemed it necessary to postpone the
submission date for Public Review until such time that the relevant specialist studies have been
completed and made available to us.

V&L are committed to ensuring that the Environmental Assessment Process is transparent and
accurate. Therefore, we felt that the report would not be complete and accurately presented to
I&AP’s without the information included in the relevant specialist studies.
We will communicate progress with all I&AP’s and we are aware of the December festive season.
We ensure all I&AP’s that they will have a fair and sufficient comment period when the Scoping
Report is made available for their comment.

Should you require any additional information or clarity, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We thank you once again for your continued participation in this process and we apologise for any
inconveniences caused.

Warmest regards,
Dereck Milburn
Lead Environmental Assessment Practitioner
V&L Landscape Architects
