The following set of environmental guidelines is to be adhered to as minimum requirements during a shoot:
Many shoots use roads or portions thereof as their sets. This has implications for traffic and pedestrian movement and safety. Control of traffic on public roads as a result of a shoot requires prior permission from the relevant authority as part of the permit approval process.
Temporary closures of roads in the jurisdiction area of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality are permitted only under the supervision of a Traffic Officer or municipal Police Officer, or other authorised persons.
Intermittent traffic stopping is permitted for maximum intervals of three minutes, unless otherwise stated, and is to be supervised by a Traffic Officer or municipal Police Officer. The area is to be cordoned off in a manner that does not impede the free flow of traffic and/or pedestrians.
All parking regulations must be adhered to. Production vehicles may not block driveways or other access ramps, fire hydrants or fire routes. Parking in bays on location is limited to specified essential vehicles only, and the film company must arrange parking for all other vehicles. The use of a shuttle system to transport crew to the location is encouraged.
Any road traffic sign may be removed only on the day of the film shoot, and a Traffic Officer must be present. As a temporary measure, the sign may be cut off at the base and welded back on immediately after the shoot is completed. All signs must be replaced in their original position, and sidewalks must be reinstated to their original condition.

WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTION - NOOITGEDAGT
18 February 2026
The NMBM wishes to inform residents that recent rainfalls have caused a reduction in the output from Nooitgedagt Water Treatment Works due to poor raw water quality.
This has caused a shortfall in the supply to the Fairbridge Heights, Rosedale, Kamehs, End Street and Chatty reservoirs as well as the Despatch tower.
In addition, the pipeline supplying water from the Fairbridge to Rosedale reservoir, has burst and the main supply from the Groendal Water Treatment Works, is unable to meet the current demand.
The following areas are experiencing sporadic, low pressure or no water supply:
Scheepershoogte
Valeisig
Winterhoek Park
Higher lying parts of Fairbridge Heights, Strelitzia Park and Vanes Estate
Higher lying parts of Rosedale, including Moeggesukel, and Mountain View
Kamehs (Tiryville / Lapland)
Higher lying parts of Despatch and Daleview
Chatty
Jachtvlakte
Reservoir Hills
Higher lying parts of Khayamnandi and Joe Slovo West
The repair to the pipeline should be completed tonight but the output from Nooitgedagt may take another day or two.
Tankers have been deployed but they may not be enough to serve all areas.
The NMBM requests all residents to remain patient and reduce water consumption during this time.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
