Ezee Tile Adhesive Manufacturers (Pty) Ltd acquired the title deed for Erf 178 from Bainbridge CC on 28 August 2019 and for Erf 179 from Arrabella Properties CC on 5 May 2019. The coordinates of the proposed development site are 26°15’43.15″S; and 28°23’2.76″E. The proposed development site is zoned as industrial.

The surrounding land uses include commercial/industrial undertakings (e.g. factories producing industrial products). Previous use of the land was for the manufacturing of precast concrete units. Currently, portions of the development site are being used as a plastic recycling facility.
