The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) states that everyone has the  right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being. Recognizing  this, the Garden Route District Municipality is taking proactive steps to fulfil its  environmental responsibility by developing a 4th generation Air Quality Management  Plan (AQMP). The AQMP serves as a strategic blueprint for tackling air pollution within  a specific area. It begins with a thorough assessment of current air quality conditions,  identifying sources of pollution, and analysing trends over time. From there, the plan  outlines targeted interventions aimed at minimizing health risks and environmental  impacts associated with poor air quality. Public participation and collaboration from  interested and affected parties is key in this endeavour. 

We invite any person wishing to make comments with regards to the Air Quality  Management Plan, to submit their comments in writing within 3 months of publication  of this notice, either via email or SMS, or verbally via telephone or by attending  stakeholder engagement meetings.
