DIE Kouga-munisipaliteit s\u00ea inwoners mag nie sonder die nodige omgewingsmagtiging die Seekoeiriviermond oopmaak nie. <\/p>\n
Inwoners van Paradysstrand, net duskant Jeffreysbaai, dreig om self in te spring, omdat die brug tussen Astonbaai en Paradysstrand \u2013 wat oor die Seekoeirivier strek \u2013 se ryvlak tans gereeld oorspoel. <\/p>\n
Die riviermond is al sowat \u2019n maand lank toe. Die brug wat oorspoel is \u2019n probleem wat herhaaldelik voorkom wanneer die riviermond toe is. <\/p>\n
Met tye wat die brug oorspoel, word inwoners van Paradysstrand gedwing om die alternatiewe grondpad tot by die R102 te neem. <\/p>\n
Die finale onderhoudswerk is tans aan die gang op di\u00e9 grondpad, maar het verlede week inwoners soos kluisenaars laat voel toe die grondpad tydelik vir verkeer gesluit \u00e9n die brug terselfdertyd oorspoel was. <\/p>\n
Riaan Kolesky, voorsitter van die Paradise Beach Watch wat die buurtwag en belastingbetalersforum insluit, s\u00ea die grondpad is tans weer oop. <\/p>\n
\u201c(Die brug tussen Paradysstrand en Astonbaai) word op \u2019n gewone werksdag sowat 2 900 keer gebruik.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n geweldige groot bekommernis dat die riviermond nie oopgemaak word nie en het \u2019n groot impak op die inwoners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boonop hou dit ook \u2019n bedreiging vir die vislewe in. Hy s\u00ea met \u2019n vorige keer wat die riviermond vir \u2019n lang tyd toe was, het die sout-telling van die water die hoogte ingeskiet, wat visse op \u2019n streep laat vrek het. Ook die riviergarnale het uitgesterf. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie dooie visse is in vraghouers daar weggeneem. Die vis en garnale is weer hervestig, maar ons sal \u2019n herhaling sien van die vrektes as daar nie dringend ingegryp word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die Kouga-munisipaliteit s\u00ea hy het ingevolge die Nasionale Omgewingsbestuurswet (Nema) \u2019n tussentydse aansoek by die provinsiale departement van ekonomiese ontwikkeling, omgewingsake en toerisme ingedien rakende die oopmaak van die riviermond. <\/p>\n
Die munisipaliteit s\u00ea hy het reeds in 2023 begin met die hersiening van sy bestuursplan vir die Seekoeiriviermond- en duin-instandhouding, wat deur die departement goedgekeur moet word voor die munisipaliteit die riviermonding kan oopmaak. Die finale verslag is intussen by die departement ingehandig vir \u2019n besluit. <\/p>\n
As deel van die munisipaliteit se voorgestelde plan aan die departement, word \u2019n bykomende deurlaatkanaal onder die brug beplan, asook die opgradering en herposisionering van die bestaande deurlaatkanale. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
