Township establishment for Centurion properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Being in Centurion does not by itself decide whether township establishment is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.
Where Centurion is
Centurion is listed in our Surrounding Tshwane towns group. The closest areas in our list are Cullinan, Hammanskraal, Rayton and Bronkhorstspruit. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 4 other areas under Surrounding Tshwane towns; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Centurion property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Surrounding Tshwane towns?
- Have neighbouring properties in Centurion or Cullinan had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Centurion erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
