Plans & approvals in Rustenburg: local notes
Plans in Rustenburg depend on who holds the land. Freehold stands in Cashan or Waterkloof go to the municipality in the usual way, while sites on tribal land around Phokeng or Mogwase need a letter or permission from the traditional authority first. Ask which route applies to you. A draughtsperson who works both sides of that line will save you a wasted submission, and will tell you what the engineer needs.
Homes and buildings in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is a mining city under the Magaliesberg, where platinum shafts, smelters and tailings dams share the plain with suburbs and villages. Older houses in Cashan, Karlien Park, Waterkloof and Geelhout Park are being extended, and Zinniaville and Safari Gardens hold sectional title complexes and older brick houses. Boitekong and Tlhabane grow with RDP houses, rooms to let and small shops. Phokeng and the nearby villages lie on land under the Bafokeng and other traditional authorities, which affects how plans are lodged. Black turf soil in parts of the plain is a regular concern for foundations.
