240903004646 - Application for the Renewal of the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the Township Establishment of Kaisosi Extensions 12 and 13, Rundu, Kavango East Region.

During 2017, the Rundu Twon Council appointed Environam Consultants Trading cc (ECT) to undertake the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Township Establishment of Kaisosi Extensions 12 and 13 in order to obtain an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the proposed development. An Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) was issued for the activity in April 2017. In order to realise the formalisation project, the following activities were to be undertaken: • The subdivision of the Remainder of Farm Rundu Townlands No. 1329 into Portions 2136 and 2137. • The Township Establishment of: o Kaisosi Extension 12, which is approximately 25ha in extent and consisting of 311 erven. o Kaisosi Extension 13, which is approximately 29ha in extent will consist of about 311 erven. The town of Rundu does not generate enough revenue to address the variety of needs of its population due to many factors among which is its historic unemployment rate (around 40%) being above the national employment rate. This state of affairs has meant that the Rundu Town Council has not been able to meet its objectives of formalising this Extensions during the validity period of the ECC issued in 2017.
