The property is a suburb in Vanderbijlpark situated in the jurisdiction of the Emfuleni Local Municipality, which is part of the Sedibeng District Municipality.

 

Emfuleni is a largely urbanized municipality, with high population concentrations and density compared to other municipalities making up the Sedibeng District. The municipality houses around 80% of the 794 000 population in Sedibeng District (9001 Census) of which 220 102 reside in Vanderbijlpark and 400 000 in Vereeniging, both of which are within easy reach of the property. Residents can easily commute to both towns. Sasolburg and Parys are just outside the Sedibeng District with a combined population of 170 000, which is also within easy reach of the property.

 

The ROD for development was issued in 2009, and has subsequently lapsed due to the development not proceeding within the specified time frame. However, on application, a new ROD may be obtained.

 

In the application that has lapsed, studies by the Emfuleni Local Municipality for development had been completed, and council had provisionally approved the township.
