Township establishment for Dorandia properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Being in Dorandia 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Dorandia property
- Have neighbouring properties in Dorandia or Elandspoort had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Dorandia erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
