Purchase or lease of municipal land for Maroelana properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Being in Maroelana 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.
Where Maroelana is
Maroelana is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with Menlo Park, Menlyn, Meyerspark and Mooikloof among its nearest neighbours in our register. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Maroelana property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Maroelana or Menlo Park had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Maroelana erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
Checks before appointment
