The developer states that development will<br />
result in better fish prices for the fisherman.<br />
My logic is telling me that should a more up<br />
market shop be used, a higher rental will be<br />
payable, resulting in a higher cost structure<br />
and higher prices to the buyer. It will not<br />
result in higher income to the fisherman – it<br />
could rather result in a loss of income as<br />
potentially fewer buyers will be interested in<br />
buying fish at higher prices. The statement<br />
that fisherfolk will benefit from the new<br />
development in terms of prices for their<br />
produce is therefore highly unlikely.<br />
The interested and affected parties who<br />
passed their comments about the proposed<br />
either fax or post between 10 December<br />
2007 and 10 February 2008 have been<br />
disregarded. They never received any<br />
correspondence from Aurecon and were<br />
subsequently not notified of the public<br />
meeting and not able to lodge their<br />
opposition to this project.<br />
The public comment period from 9 October<br />
to 17 November 2009 should be extended<br />
to mid January 2010 so that we have an<br />
opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the<br />
fact and with most of the homeowners.<br />
The libraries in which these draft EIA<br />
reports are available are beyond reach of<br />
probably 90% of homeowners at Struisbaai.<br />
The EIA report is flawed and should be<br />
redone. It is further too biased in<br />
discrepancies on site selection, site<br />
availability, visual impact, heritage impact<br />
etc,<br />
Please refer to Section 1.6.16 of this<br />
Comment and Response Report.<br />
Please refer to Section 3 of the <strong>FEIR</strong>.<br />
A 40 day comment period was provided as<br />
per the NEMA requirements. It must be noted<br />
that registered I&APs will be afforded a further<br />
21 days to comment on the final EIR before it<br />
will be submitted to the decision-making<br />
authorities.<br />
The reports were sent to libraries that best<br />
suited the I&AP profile per geographical area.<br />
Including the library in Struisbaai Noord. All<br />
the relevant documentation was made<br />
available for review on the Aurecon website<br />
www.aurecongroup.com<br />
Strongly disagree. Every effort has been<br />
made to include specialist input on the<br />
potential environmental impacts. Furthermore,<br />
extensive public participation has been<br />
undertaken throughout this EIA. Aurecon does<br />
not accept the accusation that the report(s)<br />
are bias as Aurecon is a reputable<br />
environmental consultancy and the EAP is a<br />
registered professional environmental<br />
scientist that abides to a strict code of ethics.<br />
