Community Liaison Committee established for the Clanwilliam Dam Project<\/P>
The efforts to share information about the raising of Clanwilliam Dam Project were given a boost when the Community Liaison Committee (CLC) was established on Monday 30th May 2022.<\/P>
Ms Karin van Aardt, from the Department\u2019s Chief Directorate: Infrastructure Development says the objective of the CLC is to provide a forum where meaningful and open dialogue can be held between the local community, landowners and interested and affected parties (IAPs) and the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). It further provides a vehicle for the Department to better understand the issues the local community, landowners and IAPs might have relating to the raising of the Clanwilliam Dam project, thus allowing the DWS the opportunity to address the issues to everyone\u2019s satisfaction.<\/P>
The committee includes representation from amongst others:<\/P>
\u2022\tDepartmental stakeholders (Chief Directorate: Infrastructure Development, Chief Directorate: Project Implementation Construction South and Chief Directorate: Engineering Services or Employer\u2019s Agent Representative and the DWS Western Cape Regional Office)<\/P>
