Kimberley notes on plans & approvals
Sol Plaatje Local Municipality approves plans here, and many Kimberley buildings are old enough that heritage approval may be needed for alterations: the National Heritage Resources Act covers structures over 60 years, and the central area has a long list of them. A draughtsperson or architect familiar with Belgravia and Kimberley North will know what to check first. Ask your municipality early.
Homes and buildings in Kimberley
Kimberley grew around the Big Hole, and its older suburbs of Belgravia, Kimberley North and Monument Heights have Victorian and Edwardian houses with corrugated iron roofs, verandas and lacework that may carry heritage protection. Across town, Galeshewe, Roodepan and Ritchie have township houses and backyard rooms being extended, while Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene offer modern face-brick homes. Flat, dry land and hot summers mean thick walls, deep overhangs and sensible roof insulation. Draughtspersons work from Kimberley offices and handle plans for the whole Sol Plaatje area and into the wider Northern Cape.

Local tips for Kimberley
Popular here: renovations of older houses, backyard rooms in Galeshewe and 3 bedroom homes. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask if your house is over 60 years old before you plan any change. Who does the work: draughtspersons around Du Toitspan Road, architects with heritage experience in Belgravia.
Jobs range from one room to a whole development. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a full plan set for a new house on a vacant stand, ready for council and builders' quotes. One local point to raise: hot, dry and flat; old mine ground in places: ask about a geotechnical report.
What to include in your request
- What the plan is for: build, approve, sell or renovate
- The address or erf number and the stand size
- The rooms you want, or the size of the building
- Any plans, sketches or photos you have now
- When you need the drawings
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
