Mr. Naidoo responded that the DubeTradePort had appointed TECHSO to prepare a new TIA for the DTP precinct. The report is expected to befinalised and approved around October 2011. The existing TIA prepared by GOBA in 2008 is dated and there areconcerns with the underlying assumptions on which their proposals were based and should therefore not be usedas base for any future developments within the DTP/ KSIA precinct. Aurecon were advised by Mr. Naidoo that itwould be premature to carry out a TIA for a proposed PFS in the DTP/ KSIA precinct based on the existing GOBATIA. The TIA for the PFS proposal should be prepared based on the new TIA for the DTP precinct.(23 August 2011)Mr. Kellock of Aurecon requested comment from the ETA on the proposed development and any related TIAissues. Mr. Naidoo responded that the ETA, due to heavy workloads will only be commenting on applicationsformally submitted as part of the EIA or development application.Has any comment been received from the local municipality?If “YES”, briefly describe the feedback below (also attach any correspondence to and from this authority withregard to this application):As aboveHas any comment been received from a traditional authority?If “YES”, briefly describe the feedback below (also attach any correspondence to and from this authority withregard to this application):N/ADepartment of Agriculture,Environmental Affairs & RuralDevelopment, KwaZulu-NatalBasic Assessment Report 2010Version 2: August 2010Page 35 of 46
