This notice serves to notify all interested parties of the following:
On 24 November 2022 the Council of the City of George determined, in terms of the George Municipality Water Services By-Law to Limit or Restrict the Use of Water that enhanced Water Restrictions as provided below will be implemented, and Emergency Tariffs as published in the George Municipality’s List of Tariffs, 2022/23 will be charged as per the Water Tariffs, Section 2.
The new Stormwater By-law focuses on stormwater drainage from domestic as well as trade (business and industrial) premises. This includes open areas discharging to the George Municipality stormwater system and natural streams or rivers.
Issued George Municipality, 2 May 2023 for immediate release
Stormwater management was previously dealt with under the George Municipality Water and Sanitation Services By-law and the By-law Relating to Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places. The need for a separate By-law which deals exclusively with stormwater management was therefore identified. The purpose of the by-law is to regulate stormwater management and activities that may have an adverse impact on the development, operation and maintenance of the stormwater system.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DETAILS
The draft Stormwater By-Law notice will be published in the George Herald, on the Municipal Website and municipal social media sites. The document will be available on our website, follow this link https://www.george.gov.za/george-doc-categories/documents/bylaws-and-regulations/civil-engineering-services/ copies will be provided at all public libraries in George for review. Feedback is required within 30 days. We encourage the residents of George to keep an eye out for the notices and to provide input. Once the input has been received from the public and addressed, the final by-law then goes back to Council for approval. Comments and inputs can be emailed to Lionel Daniels, rldaniels@george.gov.za phoned in to 044 801 9111 or submitted in person at the Civil Engineering Services Building, Corner of York and Market Street, George,6530

Waterfront development has another chance Journalist Alida de Beer | Thursday, 07 March 2019, 09:28
George Municipality, owner of the land, succeeded in its application for extension of the five-year period for which the environmental approval was valid. Approval would have lapsed in 2019, but in February the Western Cape department of environmental affairs and development planning (DEADP) granted extension till 16 September 2024.
The person responsible for the environmental authorisation was also amended from Stiaan Carstens, former town planner at the municipality, to the municipal manager, Trevor Botha.
Appeals may be lodged till middle March.
When the proposed waterfront development became public in 2012, it was met with significant opposition from residents.
The original application included a large residential component, including group housing and social housing, which the DEADP rejected.
