Hilly and Mountainous Areas Permit<\/span>\n <\/h1>\n

Hilly and mountainous areas are areas at risk from environmental degradation, natural processes, or natural disasters. This can be identified by; a) if the area is prone to soil erosion or exhibits signs of soil loss; b) if landslides have occurred in the area; c) if there are signs of difficulty by the system to regenerate vegetation cover; d) where vegetation cover has been removed or is likely to be removed from the area at a rate faster than it is being replaced; or e) where any other land use activity in the area is likely to lead to environmental degradation.    <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a requirement for an urban or district council shall notify the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) of the hilly and mountainous areas that have been identified as being at risk from environmental degradation, natural processes, or natural disasters.    <\/p>\n
