Township establishment for Waterkloof properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Being in Waterkloof does not by itself decide whether township establishment 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 Waterkloof is
From our register: Waterkloof lies roughly 7 km south-east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Brooklyn (about 1.6 km), Newlands (about 2.3 km), Waterkloof Glen (about 2.4 km) and Groenkloof (about 2.5 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. 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 Waterkloof property
- 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 Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Waterkloof or Brooklyn had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Waterkloof erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
