DIE ontwikkeling van die meentgrond in Franschhoek-Suid het 'n stap gevorder nadat die Munisipaliteit van Stellenbosch die aansoek vir die hersonering en onderverdeling van die grond geadverteer het vir besware. Die ISO 14000/1 omgewingstandaarde is voorgeskryf en 'n substansiële natuurgebied word voorsien. Die meentgrond gaan ontwikkel word vir 'n wingerd- en olyflandgoed asook die verbouing van boegoe en kruie met 'n hoëwaarde residensiële ontwikkeling en groepbehuising (33 eenhede). Daar sal heelwat ongerepte oop gebiede behou word. Daar word ook 'n toerismenodus met hotel en konferensielokaal, gesondheidspa en plastiese chirurgiekliniek, asook museums, restaurante, kunsmarkte, winkels en ateljees beoog. Verdere besonderhede is beskikbaar by die kantoor van die Hoofstadsbeplanner soggens op Stellenbosch; die Franschhoek Biblioteek of die gemeenskapsentrum in Stiebeuelstraat, Franschhoek-Noord.

'n AANSOEK om hersonering en onderverdeling van 'n eiendom op die Franschhoekpas vir die oprigting van 'n eksklusiewe kliniek, word tans geadverteer vir besware deur die Munisipaliteit Stellenbosch. Die eiendom is die plaas L'Aubade van 15 hektaar waar beoog word om 'n plastiese chirurgiekliniek en 50-kamer herstelfasiliteit, die L'Aubade Mountain Retreat, op te rig. Sommige inwoners van Franschhoek het reeds hul kommer uitgespreek oor die visuele impak wat die gebou teen die berghang sal hê. Vir die ontwikkeling moet die skemaregulasies gewysig word en die plaas hersoneer word vanaf Landbousone I na Onderverdelingsgebied. Die planne is beskikbaar ter insae by die munisipale kantoor op Franschhoek en Stellenbosch (soggens). Besware en/of kommentaar moet skriftelik by die Munisipale Bestuurder, Posbus 17, Stellenbosch 7599 ingedien word teen 6 Desember. Navrae by Angelica van der Merwe 808-8255.

THE restructuring proposals for the KWV Group were tabled at the annual general meeting in Paarl yesterday morning. The members of KWV Co-operative had informally approved the restructuring of the KWV group last month. If the proposal is carried, the same proposal will be tabled for final approval at a special member's meeting of KWV Co-operative on Tuesday. The members of KWV Co-operative must agree with the Board that the division of KWV into a company and a co-operative, each able to play its independent role with credibility is the right move for the future of the South African wine industry, producers and shareholders. KWV announced the proposed restructuring in June this year and has since consulted widely with shareholders and members to finalise the proposal. Said Lourens Jonker, chairman, at the meeting, "KWV has had an excellent year, and increases in the share price to date indicate that the proposal represents the best plan to restructure KWV with a view to future success and survival." |
