The Noordhoek Environmental Action Group alleges a conflict of interest by the environmental practitioner involved in the proposed upgrade project, but she disputes these claims.

Approval of a new road in Masiphumelele to physically separate this densely packed settlement from the Noordhoek wetlands and allowThe appeal was filed by the Noordhoek Environmental Action Group , a long-established green community group in the “Deep South” area of the Peninsula.

The EIA for both projects was managed for the City of Cape Town by environmental practitioner Sadia Chand of Chand Environmental Consultants. This time, Chand has responded even more vigorously, sending a five-page statement to the provincial authorities together with a legal opinion from environmental law specialist Cormac Cullinan and a 12-page letter from attorneys Mathew Walton & Associates on behalf of Martin & East.

At present, Martin & East was not involved in the Houmoed Avenue Extension: Phase 2 project and this was not yet out to tender, Chand pointed out.
