Katima Mulilo Town Council has donated a 17-hectare plot to the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service (now falling under the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts and Culture as a directorate) for the development of an international sports stadium. The proposed development site is still zoned undetermined and is part of the Remainder of Katima Mulilo Town and Townlands No.1328. In terms of the Local Authorities Act, 1992 (Act No. 23 of 1992), and the Urban and Regional Planning Act, 2018, statutory planning procedures need to be followed to create a dedicated parcel of land for the envisaged sport stadium. The town planning procedures will involve the Subdivision of the Remainder of Katima Mulilo Town and Townlands No.1328 into Portion “A” and the Remainder, as well as the Rezoning of Portion “A” from “Undetermined” to “Government”. The envisaged development will be comprising of stadium facilities, training fields, recreation areas, administrative blocks, and supporting utilities. The aim is to support government efforts in decentralizing sport development, empowering youth, and fostering inclusive socio-economic development in the Zambezi Region. The proposed development will trigger certain activities listed under the Environmental Management Act of 2007 (Schedule 5.1) that may not be undertaken without an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) being conducted and Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) being obtained.
