241106004912 - Application for the Renewal of the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the Township Establishment on Remainder of Farm Stampried 132, Hardap Region

Stampriet is a village located in the Hardap Region of Namibia. It is situated approximately 64 km north-east of Mariental. In order to diversify the local economic development, away from the fluctuating tourism numbers throughout the year, additional developments in the village are required. As with many developments a need for a sufficient supply of housing and related activities also arises. Springwater Investment (Pty) Ltd, hereinafter referred to as the proponent, realised this opportunity and approached the Stampriet Village Council to allocate them a portion of land to carry out the Township Establishment. In compliance with the legal requirements contained in the Environmental Management Act, 2007 (Act 7 of 2007) Springwater Investment (Pty) Ltd obtained an Environmental Clearance Certificate ECC for this activity in 2017. The duration of an ECC is three years upon which a renewal of the certificate becomes necessary. The ECC was renewed in 2022, with this renewal expiring in 2024. It is against this background that Springwater Investment (Pty) Ltd has appointed Environam Consultants Trading (ECT) to undertake the process of applying for the renewal on their behalf.
