New day clinic and sub-acute hospital opening in Pretoria East
Above:The newly constructed Intercare day clinic & sub-acute hospital Residents in Pretoria East can look forward to a brand new Intercare day clinic and sub-acute hospital situated in the Hazeldean Office park, on Silver Lakes Road. This 2700sqm facility is seen as a real asset to the rapidly expanding upmarket suburb of Hazeldean, and brings the developers of the Hazeldean node yet another step closer to the completion of its full-circle-living concept in Hazeldean. Construction of this modern Intercare facility was recently completed, with installation of services currently underway. The Intercare day clinic and subacute hospital will start operating by early September 2012. The day clinic will cater for minor surgical procedures, and the sub-acute will allow for post hospital recovery and monitoring. The facility will also include services such as Physiotherapists, consulting rooms, etc. “In line with best building practices, the Intercare building has been orientated in such a way that it minimizes solar radiation, and maximises
natural light. Double glazed windows and facade sections have been included to reduce heat transmission, with facade cavity walls complimenting the thermal insulation of the building. To minimise energy consumption, heat pumps have been installed to provide warm water, and high efficiency low energy lamps in all lighting fixtures”, says Abland Project Manager, Hannes Kleynhans.
Engen Filling Station is currently being constructed. The filling station is situated on Silver Lakes Road, adjacent to Virgin Active Gym in the Hazeldean Square Convenience Centre, and will be operational by 21 October 2012. It will start off with 4 pump islands, will include a Quick Shop with a Corner Bakery and you can also get some delicious Equatorial coffee.
As part of the development of the Intercare facility, property developer Abland undertook to upgrade the nodal stormwater infrastructure at a cost of approx. R6.5 million. The upgraded infrastructure includes a storm water channel along Lipizzaner Road and a formalized piped storm water system from the northern corner of the Hazeldean Office Park, past Newmark Estate, discharging into the Silver Lakes feature ponds. This will greatly improve the nodal storm water management.
Current residential developments in Hazeldean are showing significant growth in the current economic climate with construction activities in The Retreat, The Meadows, The Ridge and Oukraal Houses at an all time high. The Retreat Retirement Estate is doing so well that it recently launched its fourth phase. Sales are picking up at the investor-targeted Oukraal Apartments. The lifestyle offered by the 900 hectare Hazeldean full-circle-living concept is becoming increasingly sought-after with families, retirees, investors and the like.

Options for resolving sectional title disputes A sectional title dispute is any situation in which a significant difference of opinion has arisen between owners of units or between an owner and the body corporate. The dispute can be in regard to any aspect of the management and control of the scheme or from the actions of trustees, owners or residents in the scheme. A typical sectional title dispute may involve one or more owners, tenants, the trustees and the managing agent. The large number of parties involved in and affected by sectional title disputes can make them quite complex. Because of this complexity, resolving sectional title disputes through the traditional method of going to court (litigation) is an extremely lengthy and expensive process.
The following options are available:
Negotiation, the least formal way of resolving a dispute directly between the parties involved. A more formal version of this process is to have each party represented by an attorney who negotiates on their behalf. Mediation is an alternative to going to court. In mediation, all parties involved in a dispute meet and try to settle the matter with the help of an impartial mediator. The mediator is trained to help people settle conflicts collaboratively and has no decision-making power. The mediation takes place in a private, informal setting with a non-confrontational atmosphere. Arbitration is a process in which an independent and neutral third party hears evidence and arguments from the par ties involved in a dispute and settles the dispute by making a binding decision.
it is a more formal dispute resolution process than mediation and focuses on rights - that is, it is concerned with the legal rights of the parties. When parties agree to arbitrate, they agree to accepts the a r b i t r a t o r ’s d e c i s i o n a s f i n a l a n d b i n d i n g . Litigation is a formal process for resolving disputes in court, based on the rights of the parties involved. It is governed by extensive rules that are designed to increase the likelihood that all of the relevant facts are known by all parties. If you believe your rights have been infringed you have a cause of action a g a i n s t a g ro u p o f p e o p l e o r a p e r s o n .
