CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

bulk sewer were submitted. The Gauteng Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (GDARD) approved the Technical Report for water services. The Technical report for sewer services was being assessed by GDARD at the end of the Financial Year under review. The Department of Water Affairs was still busy with the assessments for the already submitted Technical Report for General Authorisation (water services study) and the Technical Report for Water Use Licence Application (WULA) (a sewer services study). Non-construction related activities included continuous engagementswithGautengProvincial Government andmore specifically, to the Department of Economic Development (GDAE) in relation to the proposed incorporation of CAV into the GGDA. This request was made to support the entity to secure Capital Funding that is required to address the attraction and retention of interested investors. The Inter- Governmental Relations (IGR) will undoubtedly strengthen support for investment as it will allow the CAV to access the suite of incentives that is available under the dtic , and in addition with a view on accessing SEZ incentives. The CAV has furthermore continued to receive strong support from our main member, the dtic and will not have achieved any success without this crucial partnership. The relationship with the City of Tshwane (CoT) Municipality continues as CoT assists the CAV to unlock critical development approvals and processes that facilitated the occupation of the new tenants in our existing building. The CAV will continue to forge strong partnerships with all the relevant role-players and departments at the National, Provincial and Local levels of Government as well as with the Aerospace and Defence industry as this will facilitate the development of the CAV’s future phases to support the medium to long-term stability of the local aerospace industry. The CAV’s future phases consist of an Airside Development Phase for tenants that require direct access to an airstrip as well as tenants offering Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services and an in addition to the Landside Development Phase, the CAV has identified land adjacent to its current development that could serve the long-term needs should the industry require more land for expansion purposes.

The Centurion Aerospace Village (CAV) continued to make steady progress during the past year on several construction activities in our quest to support growth of the Aerospace, Defence and Advanced Manufacturing Sectors. Several construction and non-construction related activities support the CAV to deliver on our mandate to establish an Industrial Park to support the growth and integration of local manufacturing into global supply chains. Our construction activities for Landside Development Phase are still ongoing. This phase will service tenants without a direct need to an airstrip and that offer products or services used in the manufacture of aircraft or defence related equipment, components and sub-assemblies. The minimum internal Bulk Earth Works and Infrastructure (BEWI) to support the future construction of manufacturing facilities in phase 1a and b has already been completed with the remainder of the BEWI programme still to follow in future Financial Years. The minimum infrastructure includes internal water reticulation, storm water channelling, electrical works and the first section of road infrastructure.
