Purchase or lease of municipal land for Groenkloof properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Being in Groenkloof 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.

- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Groenkloof or Sunnyside had similar applications approved or refused?
