Common use of Guidelines Based on SANParks Internal Requirements Clause in Contracts

Guidelines Based on SANParks Internal Requirements. The EIA Regulations cover many of the issues that will arise during the assessment of developments within National Parks. In addition, SANParks undertook a review of its internal policies that may impact on such developments. As a result, some of the Guidelines contained herein flow from internal SANParks management documents, such as the Kruger National Park Management Plan. In some instances, however, these documents were neither sufficiently comprehensive nor sufficiently detailed as to the allowable parameters for development by commercial operators. Where this occurred, SANParks undertook an internal effort to develop the necessary Guidelines. A series of workshops were held with SANParks conservation staff, and specifically from KNP, who assisted in establishing standards to be applied to commercial tourism developments within the Parks. Draft standards were reviewed by a wide range of professionals within SANParks, including the Manager, Environmental Management, and Park rangers and staff from Scientific Services, Conservation Services, Park Planning and Technical Services. The Guidelines contained herein are the result of these efforts. The Environmental Guidelines set out and referred to in this document must be regarded as a first step in SANParks’ efforts to compile a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS) for the entire Parks. Once in place, the EMS will likely be modified and refined over time, as and when needed to take into account new information, standards and conditions. Private Parties must therefore be aware that the terms and conditions set forth in these Guidelines are subject to amendment. Private Parties will be expected to comply at all times with the 1In the case of the SANParks, the ‘relevant environmental authority’ for review of EIAs conducted in National Parks is the national Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. provisions of the Environmental Guidelines as they may change from time to time. The remainder of this document presents the specific standards or parameters that the Private Party will be expected to apply to activities in its Project Site.

Guidelines Based on SANParks Internal Requirements. The SANParks anticipates that national EIA Regulations regulations will adequately cover many of the issues that will arise during the assessment of Management Area developments within the National Parks. In addition, SANParks undertook has undertaken a review of its internal policies that may impact on such Management Area developments. A large component of this effort focused on policies associated with the Kruger National Park (KNP) where, because of its size and importance within the National Parks, planning efforts are more advanced than at many other National Parks. As a result, some of the Guidelines contained herein flow from internal SANParks management documents, such as the Kruger National Park Management PlanPlan or Memorandum of Understanding between the Governments of the Republic of South Africa and Botswana regarding management of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. In some instances, however, these documents were neither sufficiently comprehensive nor sufficiently detailed to provide clear guidance as to the allowable parameters for development by commercial operators.
