The project involves the creation of a new street as part of the subdivision of Consolidated Portion A. Rather than retaining the site as a large single industrial erf for tenants for rental purposes only, the owner intends to subdivide the large industrial site into smaller portions for freehold title for industrial development, including the Erongo RED substation (to be transferred to Erongo RED), and a new public street which gives access to/from the newly subdivided portions. The development is a collaborative effort between Swakopmund Municipality, the owner of the unnamed public street and Multi Bau, the private owner of erf 8684 Swakopmund Extension 10. The proposed project aims to: Rectify an existing land encroachment involving an electricity substation. Subdivide erf 8684 Swakopmund Extension 10 into multiple industrial portions for sale. Rezone various portions to regularise and spatially justify existing and proposed land uses. Create a formal public street (12m wide) to provide access to the newly created portions. This creation of a new public street constitutes a listed activity under the Environmental Management Act and requires and Environmental Clearance Certificate.
