The Alien and Invasive Species regulations
published in terms of the National Environmental
Management: Biodiversity Act state: The seller
of any immovable property must, prior to the
conclusion of the relevant sale agreement, notify
the purchaser of that property in writing of
the presence of listed invasive species on that
property. Source: www.invasives.org.za
This is of particular interest to ARC members,
who need to be informed of the legislative
requirements they have to comply with when
property is sold. Homeowners’ associations must
become more aware of the vegetation that is
stonehurst mountain estate
growing on their property and how it can be
controlled.
SALI supports ongoing training at higher
Dez Whitehead
education level in close conjunction with
www.sali.co.za
the University of South Africa, the Tshwane
University of Technology in Pretoria, the Cape
Peninsula University of Technology and the
Durban University of Technology.
The annual SALI Awards of Excellence offer
members the opportunity to be recognised
nationally for excellent work. Entrants gain
exposure on various media platforms, which
gives our members and their clients the chance
to showcase their green assets. This occasion
could be used by residential estates as a
marketing tool to highlight the quality of green
spaces that estates offer.
An important aspect of our industry that SALI
supports is the control and eradication of
invasive species.
