Matlosana By-law Officials Inspect Matlosana Mall Shops and Wilkoppies Marquee Tent
The operation forms part of the city's ongoing efforts to promote compliance with municipal by-laws, regulations and other legislation that governs business operations and public safety. It is a reminder to Klerksdorp businesses and property owners that inspections can happen at any time.
What officials found at the mall
Municipal officials inspected businesses operating at Matlosana Mall to establish whether they met the relevant municipal requirements. The city said it was pleased that most of the shops inspected were found to be compliant.
The Wilkoppies marquee tent
The operation also followed a call for the city's intervention about a marquee tent erected in Wilkoppies. Officials went to the site to establish whether the structure had been put up according to municipal requirements and whether the necessary approvals had been obtained. The statement does not say what the officials found there.
The city explained that temporary structures must comply with building control requirements and safety standards. Under the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977, the City's Building Control By-laws and the City of Matlosana Land Use Scheme 2023, the erection of structures is subject to municipal approval.
What this means for you
If you plan to build, extend or put up a temporary structure such as a marquee tent for an event, apply for the necessary municipal approval first. The city urges businesses and property owners to obtain approvals before starting any construction.
