SIMBITHI ECO-ESTATE IS 17 YEARS OLD

10 E S T A T E R E V I E W

THE ‘ ECO ’ IN THE ESTATE ’ S NAME WAS CONCEPTUALISED BY THE DEVELOPER , WHO ENVISIONED RESTORING A SUGAR-CANE FARM TO THE BIODIVERSITY AND NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE KWAZULU- NATAL COASTAL REGION .

This , and the processes that maintain this balance between development and nature , are encapsulated within Simbithi ’ s Environmental Management Plan ( EMP ) under the watchful eye of Simbithi ’ s environmental committee .
The successful implementation of a developer ’ s vision is dependent on the strength of the boards of directors and management team tasked with bringing it to fruition . This , coupled with the country ’ s landscape turning toward self-sustainability and renewable energy , prompted Simbithi ’ s latest pioneering venture .
When you consider what an ‘ eco-estate ’ actually is , there is not much information to help you understand the term ’ s exact definition .
