  2. In terms of the Property Rates Bill, 2003 published in Government Gazette No. 24589 certain "public service infrastructure" in paragraphs (e) and (h) is defined as:“(e) railway lines forming part of a national railway system;(h) waterways at harbours to and from which goods, services or labour move across a municipal boundary; or” The abovementioned definitions will have the affect that important infrastructure required for the operations of Transnet Limited, in particularly at stations and ports, will be rateable. These are basic facilities, equipment, services and installations needed for the growth and functioning of Transnet’s operations.

  4. It is further recommended that a definition of “infrastructure” be inserted under Section 1 to define infrastructure as follow:(a)an underlying base or supporting structure, or(b)the basic facilities, equipment, services and installations needed for the growth and functioning of a country, community, operation or organisation.
