2. Appealing Against Government Environment Decisions
Land Use
The government plans to use land in a certain way and you think it is going to have a bad effect on the environment.
What Can You Do?
Write a letter appealing against the decision. In your letter:
- Explain your complaint in detail
- Say which NEMA environmental principle/s have been violated
(See: What are the NEMA principles?) - Say which law has been broken and why you think the decision is unreasonable
(See: Checklist of sectoral laws)
If you are not satisfied with the result of your appeal you can ask the government appoint a facilitator to have the dispute referred to conciliation.
