Purchase or lease of municipal land for Hercules properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
The suburb name alone tells us little about purchase or lease of municipal land. For a Hercules stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.

- What is the current zoning of the Hercules erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
