The
past few years has seen people becoming more aware of
the value of land in the Garden Route. For some the
appeal has been purely financial, for others the value
ranges from practical, through historical to sentimental
and emotional. Of course with all the conflicting interest
in the same commodity there was bound to be much disagreement
as to the way forward. Do we commercialize, exploit
and capitalize on our most precious asset. Or do we
protect, nurture and guide its growth? Well, much like
parents faced with a changing, growing child, that transition
depends a lot on how involved we are, and key to a strong,
healthy living environment is sensitivity. This involves
constant attention, keeping in tune with your surroundings
and learning to read the signs when something seems
to be out of line.
As
ordinary members of the public, we are very fortunate
to live at a time when all people are able to be involved
in guiding the way forward for our area. But many people
feel intimidated and unsure of how they can be involved
or whether they would make a difference. WALEAF is pleased
to announce that Mr Yakeen Atwaru, the Deputy Director
of Intergrated Environmental Management in the Department
of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning will
be speaking on the "ins" and "outs"
of the Public Participation Processes that guide development.
If
you ever wanted to know how to make your voice heard,
this is an opportunity not to be missed. It will also
be an opportunity to meet and network with like-minded
people.
The
meeting will take place at 6 p.m. on the 9th of June
