What to know locally in Klerksdorp
The City of Matlosana approves plans for Klerksdorp, Orkney, Stilfontein and Hartbeesfontein, and each former town office has its own habits. Because parts of the area sit on dolomite or over old workings, the municipality may ask for a dolomite stability report on certain stands, and the engineer should know which categories apply. Buildings older than 60 years in the old centre may need heritage approval. Ask your draughtsperson to check this first.
Homes and buildings in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp is one of the oldest towns in the Transvaal and a gold-mining centre on the Schoonspruit, with big old stands in the centre and newer suburbs spreading outward. Doringkruin, Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Meiringspark hold family houses that owners extend with extra bedrooms and entertainment areas. Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana grow with RDP houses and backyard rooms, and Stilfontein and Orkney have mine houses with their own history. Some buildings in the old town are old enough that heritage permission may be needed. Dolomite and old mine workings mean ground conditions need attention.
Typical floor plans requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: a full plan set for a new house, drawn to the stand and ready for council and builders' quotes
