Andre Pentz prepared the Swartland Rural Heritage Survey in 2014. The survey has helped enormously to identify the range of historical buildings in the area including many previously unknown farms and farm complexes. Since the report documents the farms in some detail it has highlighted a number of farms which had not been previously recorded. For VASSA, this has been of enormous benefit and will make the potential identification and recognition of the vernacular landscape so much easier- and assists greatly with planned outings. André will speak on the way that the survey was undertaken.

The survey forms part of a series of inventories done as part of a Rural Heritage Survey, for the seven rural wards of the Swartland Municipality: The findings of the report are intended to provide guidance to the Municipality and other authorities in the assessment of heritage significance of rural buildings.

The structures identified as having potential heritage significance are generally those that are older than 60 years in age i.e. structures that were built before 1955, which may include structures to which later additions or alterations have been made.
