An Application click here for the removal of conditions in the title deeds of erfs 306 to 309, Parkwood has been lodged with the City. These properties are part of the Parkwood Strip.
- SAPRA have objected as there is very little detail of what is intended by the Application for rezoning and as it is possible that the development will also affect the residential site of the Eastern side of this building. SAPRA would like to know if the developer has considered the impact that this might have on the infrastructure of the suburb. The Objection may be downloaded by clicking here.

SAPRA's objections at the hearing were overruled and the Tribunal has now reported and accepted the Application. A copy of its decision may be downloaded by clicking here.
