The Permit Advisory Forum (PAF) is a new environmental initiative in Cape Town, aimed at promoting public dialogue around environmental issues. The PAF is integrated into the Section 80 Advisory Committee, which oversees continuous compliance and improves the processing of effluent at marine outfalls to protect the coastal ecosystem. The first public meeting is scheduled for Friday, 26th April 2024 at the Council Chambers on the 6th floor of the Civic Centre, providing a chance for experts, stakeholders, and the general public to come together and shape the waterrelated future of Cape Town.
