As opposed to the way it was originally reported by Golder in the EMP, the Advasol application is not supported by Hessequa Council at all. As a matter of fact a formal Council resolution was taken to record the objection. Hessequa will now also take the initiative in not only approaching the Minister responsible for local authorities, about these applications, but also to inform and mobilise their counterparts in the other application areas. They also plan to make sure that all residents in Stilbaai have been notified of the application.
