Rezoning for Wapadrand properties
A proposed office, business or residential development is not allowed by the existing rights.
Being in Wapadrand does not by itself decide whether rezoning 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Wapadrand property
- Have neighbouring properties in Wapadrand or Faerie Glen had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Wapadrand erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed rezoning?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Compare the precise proposed use with the scheme use table and any property-specific annexure. A different activity does not always require rezoning.
What the planner does
A written motivation addresses the proposal, spatial policy, surrounding uses, access, parking and services. New rights may carry conditions that must be implemented before use starts.
