Environmental Impact Assessments

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of evaluating the potential positive and negative impacts on the social and biophysical environment related to a proposed project or development.

The EIA process is a requirement of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA). Cabanga’s team of professionals are able to assist with:
