Purchase or lease of municipal land for Equestria properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Being in Equestria does not by itself decide whether purchase or lease of municipal land 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.
