CHAPMAN’S PEAK DRIVE CLOSED TOMORROW & EVERY WEDNESDAY UNTIL END MARCH
Emergency Services
Chapman’s Peak Drive is rich in natural resources and Alien Vegetation Species are resource seekers. These plants disrupt our delicate eco-systems and steal our underground water.
These plants can expand rapidly and seek to destroy our natural fynbos .
SANParks in conjunction with Working on Fire will be sending out a specialized team to clear these aliens using ropes and technology to chop and clear the slopes of Chapman’s Peak Drive and protect them from the alien threat.
Whilst they are at work, the drive below will be encounter falling debris, making it dangerous for passage.
The SANParks Alien Vegetation clearing unit will tackle the slopes of Chappies between 09h30 and 15h30 on Wednesdays from 01 February – 31 March 2017 – weather permitting.
Alien Vegetation clearing will take place in February on the:
- 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd February 2017
and in March 2017 on the:
- 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th
(all on Wednesdays and all between 09h30 and 15h30)
Chapman’s Peak Drive is committed to protecting our slopes and as such Chappies will be closed to all traffic as per the schedule whilst the Alien Vegetation Clearing Team takes to the slopes of the mountain above our drive to remove as many aliens as possible on the above mentioned dates.
These aliens must go and we need your cooperation to get rid of the alien vegetation! They have no natural enemies here and we want our fynbos back.
Please help and support us and SANParks in the process of removing these aliens during which time Chapman’s Peak Drive will be closed to all traffic – vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.
Travel-Tip: Please try and travel before 09h00 or after 16h00 on Wednesdays.
Should you need to travel between Noordhoek and Hout Bay between those times, kindly use Ou Kaapse Weg as an alternative route.
We thank you for your co-operation and trust the mild inconvenience will be worth everyone’s time to rid our slopes of Alien Vegetation.
