Update via Patricia Putter - 24 February 2018

Good news for a Saturday morning. The threat to Tragedy Hill has successfully been removed! I think there was too much opposition. Thank you for hi lighting it on your portal.

"Dear Registered Interested and Affected Parties,

Kindly note that the proposed opening of Borrow Pit 5, located ERF 1023 Portion 6, Port Edward at 31° 2' 41.97"S; 30° 13' 11.93"E will no longer be undertaken. A decision has been taken to source the required G9 and G10 material elsewhere for the R61 Port Edward upgrade.

Thank you for your continuous engagement.

Best wishes to you all.

Kind Regards,
