Die gewysigde Verordeninge insake Buitelugreklame en Advertensietekens is op 8 November 2013 in Provinsiale Koerant No 7195 afgekondig. n Grasietydperk is tot 30 Junie 2014 verleen om besighede die geleentheid te gee om te sorg dat alle advertensieborde wat voor die geldigheidsdatum van die Verordening op geboue of persele aangebring is, aan die Verordening voldoen. Ingevolge Art 5 van die Verordeninge mag geen teken, behalwe tekens soos omskryf in Art 20(3) en Art 20(15) (hierby aangeheg), vertoon word sonder dat skriftelik toestemming eers by die Munisipaliteit verkry is nie. n Tarief van vier maal die gewone aansoekfooi is in die 2014/2015-tarieflys ingesluit vir versuim om na afloop van die grasietydperk aan die verordening te voldoen ten opsigte van alle advertensietekens wat opgerig is sonder skriftelike goedkeuring deur die Munisipaliteit. Inspeksies het getoon dat verskeie besighede versuim het om die vereiste skriftelike goedkeuring te kry tydens die oorspronklike grasietydperk. Hulle moes dus die viervoudige aansoektarief ten opsigte van elke advertensieborde op die betrokke eiendomme betaal. Na aanleiding van vertoë wat deur die Munisipaliteit ontvang is, is besluit om n verdere grasietydperk van 1 Julie 2015 tot 31 Desember 2015 aan besighede toe te staan ten opsigte van sekere tariewe om aansoek te doen om skriftelike goedkeuring te verkry ten einde aan die Verordening te voldoen. Tydens hierdie grasietydperk sal die viervoudige aansoekfooi nie gehef word nie. n Verdere vergunning is ook deur die Stadsraad aan besighede toegestaan ingevolge waarvan aansoekers tydens die nuwe grasietydperk vanaf 1 Julie tot 31 Desember 2015 net n enkele aansoekfooi vir al die advertensieborde per besigheid, per perseel, hoef te betaal op sekere tekens, pleks van vir elke advertensieteken. Inligting oor die soorte advertensietekens waarop dit van toepassing is, kan by die Munisipaliteit se Afdeling Boubeheer, Munisipale Eiendomme en Buitelugreklame verkry word. Die genoemde tarief per besigheid, per perseel sal na afloop van die grasietydperk streng toegepas word en die normale aansoekfooie per advertensieteken, soos in die Munisipaliteit se 2015/2016-tarieflys, sal geld. Die viervoudige aansoekfooi sal ook gehef word vir alle tekens wat sonder skriftelike goedkeuring opgerig is. Die Raad het ook goedgekeur dat aansoekfooie wat addisioneel gehef is ten opsigte van aansoeke wat in die tydperk 1 Julie 2014 tot 30 Junie 2015 ontvang is, terugbetaal sal word. n Gedeelte van die aansoekfooie sal terugbetaal word aan besighede of persone wat reeds gepenaliseer is deur middel van viervoudige aansoekfooie, asook die aansoekfooi wat gehef is per advertensieteken, per besigheid per perseel, gedurende hierdie tydperk.

Mossel Bay Municipality GRACE PERIOD FOR ADVERTISING APPROVALS The Town Council has approved a grace period from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015 to afford businesses the opportunity to comply with the Municipality s By-Law on Outdoor Advertising and Advertising Signs in respect of the approval of advertising signs. The amended By-Law on Outdoor Advertising and Advertising Signs was published in Provincial Gazette No 7195. A grace period was given until 30 June 2014 to give businesses the opportunity to ensure that all advertising boards displayed on buildings and properties comply with the By-Law. In terms of Sec 5 of the By-Law, no signs, except for signs described in Sec 20 (3) and Sec 20 (15) (attached) may be displayed without the prior written approval of the Municipality. A tariff of four times the normal application fee was included in the 2014/2015 tariff list for failure to comply with the By-Law after the expiry of the grace period in respect of advertising signs that were put up without the written approval of the Municipality. Inspections have shown that several businesses have failed to obtain written approval by the Municipality during the original grace period. They therefore had to pay the quadruple application fee in respect of every advertising board on the property concerned. Following representations that were made to the Municipality in this regard, it was decided to allow a further grace period from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015 in respect of tariffs for businesses to apply for written approval of their signs so that they can comply with the By-Law. During the grace period they will not have to pay the quadruple application fee. Council made a further concession in terms of which applicants will during the new grace period from 1 July to 31 December 2015 just have to pay a single application fee applicable to certain type of advertising signs, per business, per site, instead of for each advertising sign. Information on the types of signs to which this is applicable can be obtained from the Municipality s Building Control, Municipal Properties and Outdoor Advertising Department. The tariff per business, per site will be enforced strictly after the grace period has expired, and the normal application fee per advertising sign as included in the Municipality s 2015/2106 tariff list will apply. The quadruple application fee will also be levied in respect of all signs that were erected without the prior written approval. Council also gave approval for the refunding of application fees that were levied in addition to the normal fee in respect of applications that were received in the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015. A portion of the application fees will be refunded to businesses or persons who have been penalised by way of the quadruple tariff as well as the application fee that was levied per advertising sign per business per site. During the new grace period businesses will also only have to pay a single application fee per business, per site, and not for every sign.
