Midvaal Local Municipality urges residents and prospective property buyers to exercise extreme caution regarding the advertising and sale of so-called “premium serviced stands” at the Honey Hills Estate Living Development situated along the R82.

This notice follows several enquiries received from members of the public seeking clarification on the status and legality of the development.

The Municipality wishes to make it clear that no municipal approvals have been granted for township establishment or any development authorising the sale of residential stands within the Honey Hills Estate Living Development. Consequently, the stands currently being marketed and offered for sale have not received the necessary municipal approvals and authorisations required by law.

Residents and potential purchasers are strongly advised not to purchase, reserve, make any payments towards, or enter into agreements relating to these stands until all statutory, regulatory and municipal approval processes have been completed and officially confirmed by Midvaal Local Municipality.

Purchasing property within an unapproved development may expose buyers to significant risks, including:

Financial loss and investment uncertainty

Delays in accessing municipal services

Challenges relating to land use rights and zoning compliance

Potential legal and regulatory implications

The Municipality encourages all prospective buyers to conduct thorough due diligence and to verify the approval status of any proposed development directly with the Development & Planning Department before committing to any property transaction.

As part of the economic revitalisation strategy, Midvaal Local Municipality engaged with businesses operating in the Meyerton Central Business District (CBD).

The engagement was intended to strengthen relations with business owners operating in the CBD and to urge them to invest in the local value chain by buying and hiring locally.

The discussion also focused on innovative ways to improve service delivery and safety, uplift the town’s appearance, and reduce red tape to make it easier to conduct business in Midvaal.

Since the opening of the Riverstone Mall, there have been concerns regarding the sustainability of foot traffic to the CBD.

The Executive Mayor, Alderman Peter Teixeira, and Members of the Mayoral Committee held the engagement to quell any misconceptions.

The municipality continues to invest significantly in the CBD, as seen through the construction of trading stalls in the Meyerton CBD near the taxi rank.

The municipality recently completed the upgrade of the east side of Station Road and Diens Avenue from gravel to tar, along with the construction of a sidewalk with parklets and the installation of a traffic circle. This was done to allow Sicelo and the surrounding areas easier access to the CBD.

The municipality also rehabilitated Johan Le Roux to ensure ease of movement for goods and services.

Midvaal has several projects and initiatives underway in our ongoing efforts to revitalise our town.

Through these continued engagements and infrastructure investments, Midvaal reaffirms its commitment to creating a thriving, inclusive local economy.

The Municipality remains focused on building a business-friendly environment that supports growth, sustainability, and local empowerment.
