EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.7.21 1.7.22 1.7.23 1.7.24 1.7.25 Nelda Basson (106) Lois Albertyn (109) E de Kock (88) E de Kock (88) Werner Vermeulen (2) Haven‟t we destroyed enough beautiful things in South Africa? What are left of cultures, heritage and all that goes with it? Ask yourself – for how long will you find it beautiful? For how long will you be satisfied? What about the historic facet? The harbour is important from a cultural and historic point of view for the Struisbaai community (a) shipwrecks, (b) fish ponds, (c) subsistence fishers. Under no circumstances should a second Strand shoreline be allowed – again because of the cultural-historic aspect. Should this development gets approved, it will set a precedent and everyone would want to build this type of buildings Your concern is noted. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5, 5.2.6 and Annexure K of the FEIR. Regarding the historical heritage please refer to Sections 5.2.5, 5.2.6 and Annexure K of the FEIR. Regarding historic fishing activities please refer to Section 1.6.15 of this Comment and Response Report. Your concern is noted. Your point is noted. Please refer to Section 5.2.4 of FEIR. Your concern is noted. It is the CAM‟s and competent decision making authority‟s responsibility to ensure that development in Struisbaai complies with relevant legislative requirements. Your concern is noted. Please refer to Section 1.7.24 of this Comment and Response Report. Heritage of fishing harbour Heritage of fishing harbour Heritage of fishing harbour Heritage of fishing harbour Sense of place 1.7.26 1.7.27 1.7.28 Frances Pienaar (58) Lois Albertyn (109) Petrus Jurgens Visser (4) This development has no possibility of making a positive contribution to the character and ethos of Struisbaai and should not be allowed to continue. Many residents who bought their property because of Struisbaai‟s simplistic charm, peacefulness and untouched natural beauty would be very happy should the development not take place (alternative 5). The beauty of the harbour and the peaceful atmosphere will be destroyed. Your concern is noted. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR. Noted. Your point is noted.

EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.7.29 1.7.30 1.7.31 1.7.32 Carel Schaap (165) Louis Pisani (96) Marthinus J.H. Wiese (5) Justine Sweet (97) The proposed development will materially alter the use of the harbour area and impacts every permanent resident in terms of threatening the future of the harbour as a future-sustainable commercial venture, and every occasional resident in terms of changing forever the atmosphere of the town and thereby affecting enjoyment and property values. I am not against development/progress per se but I do think that there should be a balanced approach and all factors weighed up and not only to consider the potential short term gain for the developer and his backers. The development of this nature is an irreversible process and would result in a loss of something that was special to a lot of people as well as part of the innate feel/ambiance of Struisbaai. The peaceful atmosphere of the area will be destroyed due to the proposed development. The development proponent notes that unemployment is a major challenge in Struisbaai where the unemployment rate is 23% [p. 106-107 of dEIR]. Tourism and fishing appear to be the main economic and cultural activities in Struisbaai according to the applicant and those impacts were assessed [p. 108 of dEIR]. By the development proponent's own admission, the development would detract from the existing tourist appeal of the harbour area and would alter the character of the harbour area [p. 109-110 of dEIR]. Our clients disagree with the impact summary's conclusion that the tourist and social opportunities outweigh the risk of sense of place. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5 & 5.2.6 of the FEIR. Applicants response: The harbor functionality is controlled by MCM. In similar developments, surrounding property values have increased substantially. Noted. Please refer to Sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR. Your concern is noted. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR. Your point is noted. Our findings were informed by the various specialist studies commissioned for the EIA process.This section in particular is a direct quote from the Economic Impact Assessment. Subsequently, post draft EIR review, a market sustainability assessment was undertaken to qualify the proposed impact and can be read in Annexure U of the FEIR.
