The new By-Law on Air Quality Control, which was approved by the Mossel Bay Town Council in July 2013, has now come into effect following its publication in the Western Cape Provincial Gazette.

In terms of the by-law the whole Mossel Bay municipal area will be an air pollution control zone. It covers a wide range of factors, including smoke emissions from dwellings, the open burning of materials on properties, dust control and emissions from motor vehicles. It also covers emissions from spray painting and sand blasting activities.

The By-Law is available on the municipal website, (www.mosselbay.gov.za) or upon request.
