Rezoning for Eloffsdal properties
A proposed office, business or residential development is not allowed by the existing rights.
Being in Eloffsdal does not by itself decide whether rezoning 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 Eloffsdal is
Eloffsdal is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group, with Gezina, Innesdale, Jan Niemand Park and Kilner Park among its nearest neighbours in our register. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Eloffsdal property
- Have neighbouring properties in Eloffsdal or Gezina had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Eloffsdal erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed rezoning?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Compare the precise proposed use with the scheme use table and any property-specific annexure. A different activity does not always require rezoning.
What the planner does
A written motivation addresses the proposal, spatial policy, surrounding uses, access, parking and services. New rights may carry conditions that must be implemented before use starts.
Information to gather

- Current zoning information
- Title deed and available servitude records
- Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment
- Proposed use, intensity, parking and concept layout
