Following the establishment of the very first “environmental offset area” for George Municipality on Erf 3810 last year, a controlled burn is planned as has been recommended by CapeNature to keep the fynbos from becoming moribund. The vegetation is classified as Fynbos, more specifically Garden Route Granite Fynbos which has been classified as Critically Endangered due to the small amount found in conservation areas.

An “offset area” is an area set aside for biodiversity conservation and protection in perpetuity, when another area of conservation value has been utilized for a development.  In this case the building of the housing project on Erf 325 was done in such a way that a portion of the wetlands were utilized for housing.  As a result, an offset was called for when the scoping report was submitted. As the area that was utilized was of a lower conservation value than that being conserved, it is known as “Trading up”. So, this environmental offset area,  a total of 9.94 hectare, is an ecosystem of greater value to biodiversity conservation from the one used for the housing project. The area will be registered under the Stewardship Programme which is co-ordinated by CapeNature.

George Fire Brigade will handle the control burn with the necessary safety precautions in place. The burn is determined by the prevailing weather conditions. Notice will be issued to the public with regard to the proposed date and time, road closures and any other impacts of the control burn.

The valuation of an estimated 54 000 properties in the greater George area has commenced as part of the General Valuation process of the George Municipality.

The George Municipality use a service provider, DDP  Valuers (Pty) Ltd who use an array of information-gathering methods including analysing aerial photographs, site visits and neighbourhood drive-throughs.

The process will be completed towards the end of 2022.  The Final General Valuation Role will be published for comment in February/March 2023.   At the same time an opportunity will be given to lodge an objection, if necessary.  The objection process is followed by a valuation appeal process.

Ratepayers must verify their valuations, as it would affect the rates they pay on their own properties as well as the overoll rate calculations for the city.  It is a great opportunity for citizens to engage with the municipality to ensure that their properties are correctly valued.
