The development will cause major traffic<br />

congestion entering and leaving the harbour<br />

and the planned new entrance via Kusweg<br />

Oos will disturb the peace the residents of<br />

that road have paid a high price for.<br />

Traffic specialists (iCE Group) comment:<br />

a) Entrance on Kusweg Oos: Erf 921 is<br />

undeveloped municipal land earmarked for<br />

parking and there was always the chance of it<br />

being formalised. The parking area has two<br />

entrances and two exits so that traffic volumes<br />

will be split and have less of an impact.<br />

b) Congestion: The traffic analysis indicates<br />

that the only existing problem is at the<br />

Malvern Drive / Main Road intersection and<br />

measures were proposed (roundabout) to<br />

address this problem. The proposed<br />

Langezandt Quays development will add<br />

traffic, but intersections will continue to<br />

operate at satisfactory service levels.<br />

Access to the harbour for local people will<br />

be limited or not available<br />

The harbour is currently the lifeline for<br />

fishermen that are dependant on this<br />

access point to the sea. The local<br />

fisherman and the local people would be<br />

restricted to access the harbour, there<br />

would increased tourist activities and the<br />

proposed development would restrict the<br />

working harbour and there is no alternative<br />

harbour for use in the whole of<br />

Struisbaai/Agulhas area.<br />

The local residents and fishermen living in<br />

Struisbaai for most of the year must be well<br />

catered for, when planning access to the<br />

harbour area<br />

Access to the harbour would not be restricted.<br />

Please refer to Sections 1.4.1 and 1.5.8 of this<br />

Comment and Response Report.<br />

Applicants response: Disagree; we have no<br />

say in the operations regarding access to or<br />

from the harbor.<br />
