The proponent applied for an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the Proposed Construction of Hospitality Facilities on Erven 1 and 2 of Consolidated Erf "X" Rundu Extension 3, Kavango East in 2017. The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed development was conducted by Africa Planning Forum in 2016. Following the submission of the final Environmental Assessment Report, the ECC was granted as per letter dated 25 January 2017. In accordance with the Environmental Management Act No 7 of 2007 and the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations of 2012 the ECC is only valid for three years and as such the ECC has expired in 2020. The proponent has thus appointed Stubenrauch Planning Consultants (SPC) to apply on their behalf to the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) for the renewal of the ECC.
