This system generates a municipal land-use objection PDF, using the template provided by CoCT, stating details of the application, applying personal information you provide, populating the relevant sections, and allows for signing the document digitally.
Email the output pdf to: comments_objections.southern@capetown.gov.za
The pdf saves by default as filename: [Case ID]_[Date]_[Erf Number]_[Full Name] but feel free to change this (might actually be better if you do).
Please provide:
1. Personal details - full name, email address and cell number. Contact number defaults to cell, so if different, please change.
2. Address details - type your street name and pick from the search results. This pulls details from a database, so please wait for the street to appear, and then select. Next choose which street number relates to you; suburb, post code, and erf number of the specified address should populate automatically. If the street name doesn't populate, please make sure that the available options appear when on the Street Name form field, and then select your street.
3. Sign - upload or take a photo of your signature (JPG or PNG format) which will be applied to the pdf (this is not saved anywhere but on your device). If possible, please take a photo of your signature on a white background, with the signature legible, and no other objects, or lines in the frame.
4. Objection details - it is important that objectors use their own words and hint text is provided. If you wish you use this text, select 'use hint text' checkbox, and amend accordingly.

6. Generate - Click "Generate PDF". The form is populated and downloaded instantly. If you cannot see the pdf, look in your downloads folder and then send off by email before 9 November 2026.

This is a first run, using the 12 Huskinsson Way application as a starting point, and if this process makes submitting objections straightforward and less onerous, and there is significant uptake amongst residents and interested parties, then it will be improved upon over the next few weeks.
To have the greatest effect, please keep objections particular to the application, and not general grievances, which hold no sway for the objection process.
A departure notice has been issued for the development of The Old Kommetjie Post Office building, details below, and KRRA have provided an explanation of the particulars of the application.
The deadline for objecting is ... days away and this tool allows for easier submission of objections to this application (and future ones), whilst complying with legal requirements and the CoCT objection process.
Please refer to the 'how to' tab for instructions on how to complete the form, then on the 'generate' tab provide information to populate the objection pdf, to be sent by email preferably.
