Comment on possible application for height extension at Coastal Park Landfill

<div class="ExternalClass7C40C71DB2574938986D56DBDF386BAE"><p>The City has identified an urgent need to expand the existing Coastal Park Landfill Site, and we want your input.</p></div>

<span> <h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span> <p>In response to the growing demand for effective waste management in Cape Town, the City has identified an urgent need to expand the existing Coastal Park Landfill Site, located on the remaining portion of Erf 93284, by significantly increasing its airspace capacity and extending its operational lifespan. </p><p> This extension is intended to accommodate the increasing volumes of waste generated by Cape Town’s residents, ensuring continued access to safe, compliant waste disposal services while protecting both the environment and public health. </p><p> Without the additional airspace, the City of Cape Town could face significant traffic disruptions and socioeconomic strain on both residents and businesses. These impacts could be avoided if approval is granted. Moreover, existing Refuse Transfer Stations may not have the capacity to manage the diverted waste. The current fleet of collection vehicles, which is not suited for long distance hauling, further highlights the urgent need for an additional and locally based Refuse Transfer Station, with planning already under way. However, existing facilities may have scheduled refurbishment and maintenance programmes that could be leveraged to accommodate the increased waste volumes more effectively. </p> <span> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Public%20encouraged%20to%20comment%20on%20possible%20application%20for%20a%20height%20extension%20at%20Coastal%20Park%20Landfill.jpg" alt="" /></figure></span> <h4> Access the pre-application Basic Assessment Report (paBAR):</h4><ul><li>Online: <a href="http://rmsenviro.co.za/projects.php" target="_blank">http://rmsenviro.co.za/projects.php<i class="icon link-external"></i></a></li><li>In person: <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family%20and%20home/See-all-city-facilities/Our-service-facilities/Libraries/Muizenberg%20Public%20Library">Muizenberg Public Library</a> </li></ul> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Comment period</h2></span> <p>Submit your comments from <strong>24 June - 25 July 2025</strong>.</p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Submit your comment</h2></span> <p>All comments on the paBAR should be sent via post or email to Resource Management Services on or before Friday, 25 July 2025. </p><h4>Register as an Interested and/or affected party:</h4><ul><li>Email: <a href="mailto:larry@rmsenviro.co.za">larry@rmsenviro.co.za</a> </li><li> Website: <a href="http://www.rmsenviro.co.za/">www.rmsenviro.co.za</a> </li><li> Postal Address: PO Box 4296, Durbanville, 7551.</li></ul><p>You must include the following in your email or written submission:</p><ul><li>Reference number: RMS/CPLFS/HE/06/25</li><li>your name and surname; </li><li>your contact details (preferred method of notification, e.g. email address and contact number); and</li><li>an indication of any direct business, financial, personal or other interest that you may have in the application.</li></ul> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Contact</h2></span> <p>For more information and general enquiries, contact:</p><h4>Larry Eichstadt</h4><p> <em>Cellphone:<br><a>082 444 2630</a><br><br>Telephone: <br> <a>021 975 7396</a><br><br>Email:<br><a href="mailto:larry@rmsenviro.co.za">larry@rmsenviro.co.za</a> </em></p>
