EDEN ROLLS OUT WORLD CUP ACTION PLANS
EDEN district municipality is rolling out action plans for the 2010 World Cup following consultations with foreign experts and visits from international football teams checking out base camp possibilities in George, Knysna and Mossel Bay.Eden deputy municipal manager Norman Angel yesterday said the excitement leading to 2010 had started as the district welcomed reports that the English soccer team had already chosen Pezula in Knysna for its base camp, should the team qualify for the World Cup.
“German and Spanish officials have also been in Eden this month looking at George and Mossel Bay as possible bases for their teams,” Angel said.
He said action plans were being rolled out in Eden district, especially in areas which deserved most to gain from the long-standing benefit of development projects linked to the tournament.
“The legacy areas include building and upgrading infrastructure, especially in areas where facilities are below standard, improving safety and security and the implementation of regular public transport,” said Angel.
Angel said Eden was the first district in South Africa to bring out its 2010 business plan.Eden mayor Rudi Laws said the municipality had already made significant strides in initiating 2010 opportunities for existing as well as emerging businesses and for the community.

IMVELO TOURISM AWARDS FINALISTS

Oubaai Golf Re­sort has been named one of the 20 fi­nalists in the 2008 Imvelo Responsible Tourism Awards programme, organ­ised by the Feder­ated Hospitality As­sociation of South­ern Africa (FED­HASA).

Imvelo, running for the seventh year, recognises tourism and hospitality businesses that make a real, mea­surable and sus­tained contribution to responsible tour­ism.

A record number of 134 category en­tries were received this year.


ONLY THE BEGINNING
MASSIVE ROAD NETWORK ENHANCEMENT

Roads infrastructure up­grading to the tune of R 154­million was completed in George over the past few years, and this is only the beginning of some exten­sive enhancement of the city's roads.

Funds for the work were provided by the Western Cape Transport and Public Works Department (R72­in) and George Municipal­ity (R82-m).

Of these funds, R30-m was spent on the first phase of the upgrading of Sand­kraal Road. The completion of this project was cele­brated with a function at Conville Community Hall on Tuesday where MEC Kholeka Mqulwana cut the ribbon.

She said that the project formed part of the George Mobility Strategy, an ini­tiative of the Department to provide a modern public transport system in George for 2010 and beyond.




NEW FUTURE FOR GAMKA- AND GOURITZ RIVER AREAS

The Gouritz Initiative which was introduced to the media and other stake holders at a recent day tour from Matjies­rivier via Calitzdorp to Van Wyksdorp heralds a new future for the unique and sensitive environment in the Gamka- and Gouritz River areas.

The Gouritz Biodiversity Me­ander streches from Matjies­rivier at the foot of the Swart­berg range to Calitzdorp, all along the Gamka River, over the Rooiberg Pass to Van Wyksdorp and from there through Herbertsdale to Grouitzriver Mouth.
A total of 35 Biodiversity hotspots around the world were identified by scientists and three of there environmentally important and sensitive areas are in the Western Cape.
The Succulent Karoo, Fynbos and Subtropical Thicket habi­tats overlap with each other and roughly meet at Van Wyks­dorp.
