01 July 2024 Public Notice: REVIEW AND RENEWAL OF THE GARDEN ROUTE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
REVIEW AND RENEWAL OF THE GARDEN ROUTE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) states that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being. Recognizing this, the Garden Route District Municipality is taking proactive steps to fulfil its environmental responsibility by developing a 4th generation Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP).
The AQMP serves as a strategic blueprint for tackling air pollution within a specific area. It begins with a thorough assessment of current air quality conditions, identifying sources of pollution, and analysing trends over time. From there, the plan outlines targeted interventions aimed at minimizing health risks and environmental impacts associated with poor air quality. Public participation and collaboration from interested and affected parties is key in this endeavour.
We invite any person wishing to make comments with regards to the Air Quality Management Plan, to submit their comments in writing within 3 months of publication of this notice, either via email or SMS, or verbally via telephone or by attending stakeholder engagement meetings.
