The Preservation and Development of Agricultural Land Bill: Where to next?
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 The Act was repealed by the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act Repeal Act 64 of 1998 (Repeal Act), however, more than 25 years later, the Repeal Act is yet to have come into full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.
