Uitkamp Appeal For Judicial Review - DCF Requests Assistance
13 March 2013
The Durbanville Community Forum (DCF) and other parties appealed against the Environmental Authorization for Uitkamp. (Portion 18 and 19 Uitkamp No. 189) The DCF went through the Appeal process but was informed on the 28th February 2013 that our appeal was largely dismissed although we were partly successful in that Portion 19 was removed from the zoning approval. However that is little comfort to the current approval as all the development is on Portion 18.

D'Urbanvale in Crises - Volunteers for Two Sub- Committees Required
12 June 2012
As per my mail yesterday D’Urbanvale is under attack and our safety and security is at stake. When I am told that families want to move I find that extremely disconcerting and it is totally unacceptable that families have to uproot to try and protect themselves. The various incidents are an absolute shocker. D’Urbanvale used to be a safe haven but that has changed. It is time to reinstate that condition.

DCF Comments on Ward Clusters Under Sub Council - CRITICAL THAT RESIDENTS COMMENT
07 July 2011
I have submitted the Durbanville Community Forum (DCF) comment to the City regarding the “proposed” Sub Councils that will affect The Greater Durbanville. I have provided the City’s proposed wards under Sub Council 7 (Durbanville) and Sub Council 3 (De Grendel, Goodwood)

Please note that the proposed wards to fall under Goodwood, wards 21 and 70 are wards into the very heart of Durbanville yet Goodwood will make decisions what happens in Durbanville? This makes absolutely no sense?
