Contravention notices & regularisation for Pretoria Central properties
The City alleges unlawful use, unauthorised development or breach of an approval condition.
Two properties in Pretoria Central can need quite different approaches to contravention notices & regularisation. What counts is the individual erf: its zoning and any annexure, the title deed conditions, registered servitudes, earlier approvals and the City of Tshwane policy that applies to its location.

Questions we'd ask about your Pretoria Central property
- Have neighbouring properties in Pretoria Central or Prinshof had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Pretoria Central erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed contravention notices & regularisation?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Keep the full notice, delivery date and deadline. Compare the alleged breach with existing rights and approvals; obtain legal advice where enforcement or litigation requires it.
What the planner does
Assess whether compliance, cessation, a corrective application or specialist advice is appropriate. Engage on planning matters and document the response. An application does not automatically stop enforcement.
