Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act No. 28 of 2002)NoticesMine Community Resettlement Guidelines, 202211. Resettlement Action Plan |
| 11.1 | The Resettlement Action Plan is a document that lists what steps must be taken in order to achieve the goals set out in the resettlement plan. The purpose of the Action Plan is to clarify what resources are required to reach the goal, formulate a timeline for when specific tasks need to be completed and determine what resources are required. The Action Plan, in summary, must outline action to be taken, identify responsible stakeholders and timeframes (See Table A for an example). |
| 11.2 | The Resettlement Action Plan is a tool concerned with practical implementation of the broader resettlement plan. The Action Plan must therefore be read together with the Resettlement Plan. |
| 11.3 | Landowners, lawful occupiers, holders of informal and communal land rights, mine communities and host communities must also be consulted meaningfully on the contents of the Resettlement Action Plan. |
| 11.4 | The Resettlement Action Plan once completed must be submitted to the office of the Regional Manager where the application for right or the right or permit was submitted or issued. |
