What this means

This document is a guideline from the Planning & Design Land Use Management Unit explaining how to lodge an application for rezoning, subdivision, township establishment, and for (1) relaxation of a building line from a provincial road and (2) construction of an access to a provincial road from adjacent land. It sets out a two-stage process: first a request for comments by a town planning consultant, then a formal application by a civil consultant. It specifies required documents, minimum building-line distances from provincial road centreline/road reserve boundary, and an application fee of R3,600 payable on/after submission at both stages.
