You are invited to comment on the Draft Western Cape Transport Infrastructure Bill, 2008 which has been published in Provincial Gazette Extraordinary No 6562, dated Monday 6 October 2008.

The primary intention of the Bill is to replace the Roads Ordinance, 19 of 1976 and the Advertising of Roads and Ribbon Development Act, 21 of 1940, both of which predate the Constitution, 108 of 1996, are inconsistent with the institutional structures that exist today under the new dispensation and do not adequately reflect the needs.

Please note: only written comments can be accepted.

Closing date: 7 November 2008
