Environmental groups like the Kat River Friends and Gardag (Garden Route Dam Action Group) aired concern over runoff from hard surfaces and possible sewage spills which they said would threaten water security. Others, who frequent the area for doing sport and enjoying the outdoors, were upset at the prospect of the natural surroundings becoming a built-up area.
The municipality has recently also started a rezoning process of the dam area to accommodate tertiary training institutions that have expressed interest in settling in George.
A prescribed appeal form pertaining to the extension of the validity period is available by phoning 021 483 3721 or sending an e-mail to jaap.devilliers@westerncape.gov.za.

Katrivier Water Analysis 2023 01
Location : Katriverbridge at Dikkopstreet, Eden, George
Update
GEORGE NEWS - The proposed development at the Garden Route Dam that includes a university, commercial property and housing was granted environmental authorisation on Monday 19 September 2022.
The new Stormwater By-law focuses on stormwater drainage from domestic as well as trade (business and industrial) premises including 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.
