The Dr. Erastus Shapumba, hereinafter referred to as the proponent, intends to construct a shopping business complex to be named “Las Vegas City Center” consisting of retail shops, accommodation entertainment, hospitality, pharmacies, and recreational facilities as well as associated infrastructures. Given the fact that the proposed development site is located on an area which is prone to seasonal flooding, an earth dam will be constructed at the site to enable the harvesting of seasonal flood and rainwater for the benefit of the local community. The proposed development site is within the communal area under the Otuwala traditional administration of the Uukwambi Traditional Authority. Politically, the site is located under the Okatana Constituency of Oshana region. The proponent has already obtained the Consent letter from the village headman as well as recommendation letter from the Uukwambi Traditional Authority and is in the process of applying for the leasehold from the Oshana Communal Land Board as prescribed by the Communal Land Reform Act of 2002.
