Should the developer have the traditional<br />

hotel usage in mind, it should be very<br />

similar to the hotel which used to be located<br />

next to Nostra, opposite the beach; however<br />

the proposed development is a far more<br />

upmarket hotel usage. Is this really<br />

necessary and will it not scar our coastline<br />

and the town‟s rural ambience forever? We<br />

do not want to have hotel where only rich<br />

people would have access to it.<br />

Furthermore, guests will be “encouraged”<br />

not to dispose of certain items into the<br />

sewage system, or to reduce the amount of<br />

water usage, etc, is simply not good<br />

enough. This cannot be guaranteed by the<br />

developer. I am sure that he will not be<br />

willing to take responsibility for this, and the<br />

“encouragement” is therefore of limited<br />

significance.<br />

Struisbaai is already experiencing severe<br />

economic pressure outside holiday periods<br />

when it is quiet. To now allow several<br />

restaurants, shops and similar activity to a<br />

town where economic pressure is already a<br />

concern, would worsen that.<br />

The hotel portion of the proposed<br />

development forms only a portion of the<br />

facilities that would be provided and therefore<br />

the functionality is envisaged to be more<br />

diversified that the traditional hotel concept.<br />

Please refer to Section 5.2.5 of the <strong>FEIR</strong><br />

regarding the visual impact.<br />

Please refer to Annexure T for a copy of the<br />

mitigation measures that the proponent is<br />

willing to commit to. The EMP (Annexure Q) is<br />

a evolving document that can be amended to<br />

include various measures to ensure a reduced<br />

impact to the receiving environment.<br />

Please refer to Section 5.2.3 of the <strong>FEIR</strong><br />

regarding the economic impact.<br />
