  • VerifiedEditor-approved In the third construction-phase external environmental audit of Newinbosch (site visit 23 September 2025; report dated 24 November 2025, which states that it has been submitted to DEA&DP), auditor Cornerstone Environmental Consultants stated that the development is undertaken in phases, 'with some phases that have been completed'. In its opinion the contractor 'is complying with the recommended mitigation and management measures that were relevant at the time of the external audit'. It found site management 'greatly improved since the previous audit' and said attention must still be given to housekeeping, waste management and cement and concrete handling.
