Inwoners van Hawston het verlede week \u2019n vreedsame optog gehou om te eis dat die Overstrand-munisipaliteit se veiling van erwe in die dorp stopgesit moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 grond \u2013 waaronder twee residensi\u00eble erwe en vyf erwe wat as sakepersele gesoneer is \u2013 \u201ckan beter aangewend word vir ontwikkeling van die dorp\u201d, s\u00ea die gemeenskap. Nog \u2019n vraag wat gevra is, was of die verkoop van die erwe enige ekonomiese voordele vir die klein vissersgemeenskap inhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is nie teen ontwikkeling nie, maar ons wil nie misken word deur die munisipaliteit in besluite wat ons dorp raak nie,\u201d het Theo de Villiers, die voorsitter van die Hawston-gemeenskapsforum, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dean O\u2019Neill, die OM se munisipale bestuurder, het hierop ges\u00ea \u2019n voorafgaande openbaredeelnameproses ten opsigte van die verkoop van munisipale grond is nie \u2019n vereiste wat wetgewing betref nie, tensy \u201cmet \u2019n ho\u00eb-waarde-eiendom gehandel word\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens O\u2019Neill is nie een van die ge\u00efdentifiseerde erwe in Hawston as ho\u00eb-waarde-eiendomme geklassifiseer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie besigheidserwe het wel deur \u2019n openbaredeelnameproses gegaan toe dit by wyse van onderverdelings geskep is met die daaropvolgende hersonerings daarvan. Wetgewing vereis wel \u2019n openbaredeelnameproses nadat die mededingende proses gefinaliseer is om die publiek in kennis te stel van die raad se voorneme om die eiendom in die naam van die suksesvolle koper oor te dra en die koopprys word dan ook geopenbaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarna moet die raad nog die finale oordrag van die eiendom goedkeur inaggenome die kommentaar van die publiek,\u201d het hy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die besluit om die erwe nie net in Hawston nie, maar ook in verskeie ander dorpe in die Overstrand, op te veil, het O\u2019Neill verduidelik, is geneem na aanleiding van \u2019n behoefte wat deur die publiek ge\u00efdentifiseer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit mag net ontwikkelbare eiendom by wyse van \u2019n mededingende proses (byvoorbeeld tender\/veiling) verkoop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In di\u00e9 geval is aansoeke ontvang wat daartoe gelei het dat ondersoek gedoen is na die beskikbaarheid van grond vir die verkoop daarvan aan die publiek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cotley May, die ondervoorsitter van die gemeenskapsforum, se mening is dat die erwe wat opgeveil sou word, beter aangewend kan word vir byvoorbeeld die ontwikkeling van ontspanningsgeriewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is nie speelparke vir die kinders van ons dorp of enige ontspanningsgeriewe vir volwassenes nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het vertroulik verneem dat \u2019n groot stuk grond naby die see vir die ontwikkeling van laekostebehuising ge\u00efdentifiseer is. Dit is prime property<\/i> wat vir groot bedrae verkoop kan word of beter aangewend kan word om toerisme-geleenthede \u2013 veral ekotoerisme \u2013 te skep en te bevorder. Die walvisse l\u00ea gereeld teenaan ons kus \u2013 hoekom kan geleenthede dus nie geskep word om deur walviskyk meer toeriste na ons dorp toe te lok nie?\u201d het hy bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harry Johnson, die voorsitter van die Harriesbaai-vissersko\u00f6perasie, wat altesaam 262 lede het, s\u00ea gerugte doen die ronde dat grond langs Haweweg bestem is vir die bou van \u2019n hotel. \u201cDaardie grond sal ideaal wees vir die co-op<\/i> om \u2019n perlemoenplaas te begin en sodoende werksgeleenthede vir die vissers te skep. Van die besigheidserwe wat hulle wil opveil, kan ook gebruik word vir \u2019n verwerkingsaanleg vir ons,\u201d was sy mening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Sakeman van die dorp (wat nie ge\u00efdentifiseer wou word nie) het voorgestel dat die munisipaliteit plaaslike inwoners en sakeondernemings ses maande tot \u2019n jaar moet gun om hul sake in orde te kry om erwe wat nie suksesvol opgeveil is nie, te koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner is van mening dat die openingsbod veels te hoog is en dat d\u00edt \u2019n manier is om die \u201carm gemeenskap uit te sluit\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar kan nie veel meer ontwikkeling in Hermanus plaasvind nie en ons het die pragtigste strand en natuurskoon. Dit lyk asof die pryse van grond in Hawston doelbewus opgestoot word sodat die gemiddelde inwoner van Hawston dit nie kan bekostig om grond hier te koop nie,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Overstrand-munisipaliteit het by navraag bevestig die veiling het voortgegaan, maar ges\u00ea geen aanbiedinge is op enige van die erwe ontvang nie. Volgens die munisipaliteit het slegs vier belangstellendes vir die veiling van die grond in Hawston geregistreer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die aanlynveiling vir eiendomme in ander gebiede, het O\u2019Neill ges\u00ea, vind volgende week plaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVeilings is op 13 November 2024 in Kleinmond en Mount Pleasant gehou, waar aanbiedinge op die sewe eiendomme in verskillende gebiede ontvang is. Die munisi\u00adpaliteit gaan voort met die geskeduleerde aanlynveilings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Villiers het inwoners van Hawston aangemoedig om by die gemeenskapsforum aan te sluit om sodoende \u2019n verenigde front te vorm wat vir die vissersdorp en sy inwoners se belange sal veg en ook gereelde vergaderings sal bywoon.
