The public outcry over environmental damage caused by illconsidered planning has led many countries to institutionalise the EIA in regulating environmental change. In South Africa the growing public concern over the environmental damage caused by major projects, the formation of a council to represent all conservation bodies and the concensus over legislation the council has reached with the planning professions, clearly indicate that an EIA of development projects will in future also become compulsory here, possibly within the next three years.
