1967. Physical Planning & Utilization of Resources Act No 88

Dugard (1978: 424) refers to this as the ENVIRONMENT PLANNING ACT, but Davenport (1987: 525) explicitly mentions that the PHYSICAL PLANNING & UTILIZATION OF RESOURCES ACT was later renamed (or replaced with?) the ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING ACT (Davenport 1987: 525).

This "provided positive incentives in the form of tax holidays, tariff rebates and the prospect of cheaper labour to indice industrialists to move, together with negative constraints such as a ban on the enlargement of black labour forces if they elected to remain in the existing areas of industrial concentration" (Davenport 1987: 525t).
