Purchase or lease of municipal land for Riviera 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 Riviera stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Riviera is
From our register: Riviera is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Roseville, Silverton, Silvertondale and Sinoville. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Riviera property
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- 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 Central & Northern Pretoria?
- Have neighbouring properties in Riviera or Roseville had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Confirm ownership, public use, municipal disposal requirements and planning constraints. A planning application cannot compel a sale.
What the planner does
Assist with the planning motivation and implications, coordinate the relevant municipal property process and identify linked closure, subdivision or rights requirements.
