Sasolburg notes on plans & approvals
Metsimaholo Local Municipality approves plans for Sasolburg, Zamdela, Deneysville and Oranjeville. Stands close to the Vaal River or the dam can sit inside flood lines, and those near the industrial area may face zoning buffers, so a site plan checked against the town planning scheme saves trouble. Fire rules under SANS 10400-T apply to thatched dam-shore cottages, and your draughtsperson will advise on distances.
