About the Crocodile River Reserve The Crocodile River Reserve (CRR) was proclaimed as a Nature Reserve in October 2019 according to the National Environment Protected Areas Act (NEM:PAA. The Reserve falls within the buffer zone of the UNESCO declared Magaliesberg Biosphere and is adjacent to the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies within the green zone in the Tshwane Regional Spatial Development Framework. The CRR is an area of 3 500 hectares between the main arterial R522 and R512 roads. It is some 20 minutes from Fourways, 45 minutes from Sandton, 30 minutes from Pretoria and 20 minutes from Centurion, yet is spacious, largely undeveloped and peaceful. It is best described as an Eco Estate where large properties exist but where only 5% of the land may be disturbed. Herds of impala, blesbok and other buck roam freely.The Gauteng Conservation Plan categorises the area as a Critical Biodiversity Area (CBA), important and irreplaceable. The CRR falls under the Tshwane City Council. For better interaction with landowners and to ensure that environmental diversity is properly taken into account, the CRR has 8 Management Units that geographically encompass around 15 protected properties each and the related buffer zone (adjacent properties). Each Unit has appointed a Unit Manager whose responsibility is to collect inputs and achieve objectives in terms of protection and conservation of biodiversity and implementation challenges. The 8 Unit Managers form the Environmental Management Committee (more often referred to as the Management Authority (MA) which ensures that all land use in the Reserve is in line with the rules and guidelines. Properties in the Reserve enjoy virtually complete protection from land claims and there are no informal settlements in the Reserve. Weekly walks and talks are arranged to introduce both residents and visitors to the Reserve, its aims and the flora and fauna within the Reserve. Crime is low and members of active WhatsApp groups interact with each other and the Management Authority. The area is served by various security companies and SAPS are very responsive in the area. There is a double gated controlled entrance to the Lazy Rover Road section, which is North of the Hennops River. Over time, it is the intention of the MA that all entrances to the CRR will be similarly controlled.
