Hi,
Welcome to the site for objecting to the proposed development of Oesterwal 292 - known to many people as Shark Bay or Klein Oesterwal.
Located in Langebaan on the doorstep of the West Coast National Park, in South Africa, this beautiful part of the lagoon plays host to 1000's of visitors each year seeking peace and tranquility in safe, warm water or beautiful flower meadows.
The site has a deep ongoing history of court cases, objections, planning applications and enviromental issues.
The aim of this website is to provide comprehensive and non political views about the proposed destruction of one of South Africa's prime enviromental areas.
Langebaan Lagoon is protected by the RAMSAR agreement, the Bonn Convention, National Laws and by basic humanity. The proposed project will destroy what is currently in place and start a domino effect around the lagoon. Oestwerwal 292 is NOT the only private piece of land within the Lagoon.
Langebaan's current developments are hardly 53% taken up and we should concentrate on developing these projects and ensuring water and all services are facilitated instead of increasing Urban Sprawl. The current building line (Urban Zone) is at the top of the hill over looking the lagoon, there is simply no reason to increase this to the detriment of the enviroment and a National Pak.
Over the next few days and weeks, this site will become the site for all things to do with this objectional application.
Please take time to register and in turn object to this terrible abuse of our natural land.
If you have any questions, please make a posting and we will endeavour to answer them for you.
Regards
Rob Munro
