Please note that as official heritage authority in the Free State, Heritage Free State, as with SAHRA, by law has to be informed of all development in this province and as such does not need to register as I&AP in order to participate in this process. As part of your EIR-phase we would, in this particular case, require a Phase I Heritage Impact Assessment, i.e. not just a desktop study, as one of your specialist reports. Notifications can be sent by email and all documents can be sent on CD (see contact info below) or alternatively you can notify us when it has been uploaded to SAHRIS. Yours faithfully L.
