Simon’s Town Coastal Properties and the Coastal Management Bill

I read this article today and am interested in the story and how it will affect coastal properties in Simon’s Town.

The new integrated Coastal Management Bill has been set up to “protect the coast”, but there seems to be an amount of uncertainty over what this actually means and who actually owns the land.

”There are a number of instances in the act where existing property owners will be obliged to accept changes, accommodate access by the public and even lose land, without the state accepting any responsibility towards property owners.”

The situation is “unbalanced and unfair”. Existing property owners may be the losers, as it is not clearly spelt-out in the act how private ownership of land will be affected, concludes Venter.
