administration, local authorities and private organisations is preparing a physical development plan which should guide
development within this region fo r the next twenty years. Due to the rapid growth o f towns and cities land for residential,

W ith the closing o f the gold mines industries are o f vital importance in the present and future devciopmcht o f ' ,
the region. The structure o f the existing industrial complex must be studied in detail in order to make preparations fo r

GEBEED.
D ie Raad vir die Ontwikkeling van Natuurlike Hulpbronne in samewerking met andcr staatsdepartemente, die
provinsiale administrasie, plaaslike bcsture en private instansics is besig om "n fisiese ontwikkelingsplan op te stcl wat
as gids sal dicn vir die ontwikkeling van hierdie streek vir die volgende twintig jaar. As gevolg van die snclle grow" van
dorpe en stedc is dit noodsaaklik dat grond vir woon-, nywerbeids-, ontspannings- en andcr docleindcs jare vooruit
gercscrveer word.
As gevolg van die sluiting van die goudmyne is nywerhede van die allergrootste belang in die huidige en
toekomstigc ontwikkeling van die streek. Die samcsielling van die bestaande nywcrhcidskompleks moet in detail
bestudcer alvorcns projeksies vir die tockoms gemaak kan word, D ie hulp Wat u verlecn deur die vorm te voltodi
is van die allergrootste belang.
A l die inligting wat u vcrstrck sal geheim gehou word en gegewens van 'n cnkele inrigting sal nic gcpublisecc word
nie. D ie finale versing behoort nic allecn vir staatsdepartemente en plaaslike besture van groot waarde te wees nic, maar
ook v ir die nysveraars self.
Baie dankle vir u wclwillende samewerking.
