Volgende stappe Hierdie Opdateringsblad is aan alle geregistreerde B&GPe op die databasis gestuur. Die FOIBV is vanaf 28 Februarie 2013 aan die publiek beskikbaar gestel by dieselfde plekke as die KOIBV, sowel as op Aurecon se webblad. Die FOIBV is op 28 Februarie 2013 by die bevoegde owerheid, naamlik die Departement van Omgewingsake (DOS), vir oorweging en besluitneming ingedien. Die DOS sal die FOIBV nagaan, en moet binne 60 dae een van die volgende doen: (i) Die FOIBV aanvaar; (ii) Die applikant in kennis stel dat die verslag vir deskundige oorsig verwys is; (iii) Versoek dat wysigings aan die verslag aangebring word; of (iv) Die verslag verwerp indien dit nie aan die regulasies voldoen nie. Indien die verslag aanvaar word, moet die DOS binne 45 dae: a) Magtiging verleen vir die hele of gedeelte van die aktiwiteit; of b) Magtiging weier vir die hele of gedeelte van die aktiwiteit. Sodra die DOS sy besluit oor die voorgestelde projek uitgereik het, sal alle B&GPe op die databasis binne 12 kalenderdae vanaf die datum van die uitreiking van die Omgewingsmagtiging, dienooreenkomstig in kennis gestel word. Indien enige persoon (lid van die publiek, geregistreerde B&GP of die applikant) teen die DOS se besluit wil appelleer, moet die persoon binne 20 kalenderdae nadat die besluit uitgereik is, en in terme van Hoofstuk 7 van die OIB-regulasies (GK Nr. 543) van die WNOB, ŉ Kennisgewing van Voorneme om te Appelleer by die Minister van Waterwese en Omgewingsake indien, en moet die volledige Appèl binne 30 dae van hierdie kennisgewing ingedien word. Aurecon wil graag almal bedank wat tot op datum aan hierdie OIB-proses deelgeneem het. 2
