City of Cape Town: Establishment of a regional landfill site
Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr advised the City of Cape Town on a challenge to the authorisation of the establishment of a regional landfill site.

After the infamous 2008 financial crisis, we faced trade wars, a disenfranchised middle class in developed economies and an over-reliance on trade with single partners – we walked into a period of relatively stagnant “ slowbalisation ”.

For decades, the primary piece of legislation influencing agricultural land development has been the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970 (Act). The Act was repealed by the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act Repeal Act 64 of 1998 (Repeal Act), however, more than 25 years later, the Repeal Act is yet to have come into full effect, and we remain primarily bound to the provisions of the Act. The aim of the Act is to prevent the fragmentation of agricultural land for the preservation of sustainable and economically viable farming activities by imposing regulations and procedures for the subdivision, control and development of such land.
