Chitungwiza Munipality has called upon residents to regularise their (precast walls ) durawalls by paying US$150 or face demolitions.
In a statement the authority said many had built durawalls without going through the required approval stages.
“Chitungwiza Municipality is inviting homeowners and businesses with durawalls that have not been approved to visit Council offices for regularisation by going through the approval processes.
“Please also note that those who are not within their boundaries should revert back to original pegs.
As an incentive Council said it will waive the mandatory US$200 fine.
“The Council is waiving the US$200 penalty fee for each approval stage to people who respond to this call before 28 February 2025.
“Those who respond before the deadline will only pay US$150 approval fee.
“If compliance is not achieved within a month, the Munipality will not hesitate to demolish the durawalls.
The cost for the demolition process will be met by the owners according to Council.
The notice was issued in terms of the Regional Town and Country Planning Act (Chapter 29:12) Section 24 and the Roads Act (Chapter 13:18) Section 46 (2).
