CAV Annual Report 2021

“SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE AEROSPACE, DEFENCE AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES”

FOREWORD BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE CAV BOARD

The Gauteng MEC for the Department of Economic Development (GDEA) was also engaged towards the realisation of the incorporation of CAV into GGDA. The Gauteng Department of Agriculture & Rural Affairs (GDARD) Affairs was also engaged by CAV within the year under review. Basedon these engagements, GDARD therefore approved the submitted Environmental Authorisation Technical Report for Bulk Water Services. The other report for Bulk Sewer services should be approved by GDARD within the first quarter of the next Financial Year. CAV also engaged Rand Water an entity of DWS, and this resulted in Rand Water to approve a Wayleave extension that will allow CAV to install a new bulk water pipe above the existing bulk pipeline of Rand Water. There were also engagements with the Council for Geoscience (CGS) an entity of the Department of Minerals & Energy. CGS is responsible for the approval of the conditions of construction site. CGS gave CAV a Record of Decisions (RoD) of approving the submitted technical report for the construction of the Aerosud Gatehouse. The strategic outlook for the CAV can be captured as follow: • Completion of the Township Establishment processes; • Initiation of the external utility services and infrastructure works for water, stormwater, roads and sanitation; • Start the construction of the Aerosud Gatehouse and the CAV Gatehouse including the taxi drop off area; • Start the construction of a Shared SMME Multi-Tenant Facility. My sincere appreciation goes to the stakeholders that make up the CAV project - the National, Provincial and Local Government and the aerospace and defence industries and its associations. A word of thanks is extended to all the contracted consultants and partners that have worked tirelessly to take this initiative forward. I would like to extend my gratitude to the CAV Board, the Audit & Risk Committee, and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (RemCo) as well as the Internal and External Auditors for their assurance in supporting the CAV Board in discharging its duties towards exercising its oversight role. It is indeed an

I am pleased to report that CAV’s project is growing from strength to strength towards realisationof a goal tohave a fully established Industrial Park. During the 2020/21 financial year the CAV team continued with critical development processes to initiate the township establishment programme. I am proud to say CAV continues to have good working relations with National Government Departments, Gauteng Provincial Government Departments and Government Entities. The National Government Departments that CAV interacted with during the year under review were the dtic as the shareholder, The Department of PublicWorks & Infrastructure (DPWI) and the Department of Water & Sanitation (DWS). The engagements with DPWI related to CAV obtaining a Power of Attorney (PoA) from DPWI as the landowners. The PoA from DPWI is a requirement for township proclamation processes. There were Technical Reports submitted to DWS and relate to the General Authorisation (GA) to approve the installation of the bulk water pipeline. In addition, the DWS pending approval is on the already submitted Technical Report for Water Use Licence Application (WULA) and this relates to the installation of the bulk sewer pipeline for CAV.
