KLCBT’s summary of assessment done with MTPA staff on Panorama sites

As previously reported, the KLCBT and MTPA conducted a joint            assessment of the sites, specifically Three Rondawels, Bourke’s Luck    Potholes, God’s Window and The Pinnacle during the last week of July 2025.  The objective was to issue a statement on the interventions and   progress as well as those recommended which will be prioritized in the near future.  Because of commitments with the Auditor General’s visit and G20 meetings, the Acting CEO of MTPA did not yet confirm the timelines of the commitments as discussed during several meetings with their team.

We have decided to issue our summary and recommendations at this time, and we hope that MTPA will be in a position very soon to publish firm    commitments on interventions. We will request an update every two weeks.

We can confirm that we have a follow-up meeting scheduled for Monday    regarding clarification of our proposed private sector development /      management of the sites.  Not to propose any plans, but to facilitate a    possible way forward on how to submit proposals for development.

In summary:

1. Cleanliness—Could be improved upon with improved management practices

2. Broken toilets, urinals & toilet doors—some goods were procured but we cannot confirm on behalf of MTPA when they will be installed

3. Maintenance staff shortage—staff for maintenance should be housed on site because most of the work have to be before opening and after closing of gates.

4. Toilets need to be upgraded—we were told there is a plan and we believe also budget to upgrade toilets and add facilities for mobility impaired individuals, at the Three Rondawels and The Pinnacle.

5. Intermittent periods without water—Upgrades were made to add boreholes, we are not able to confirm when the pipelines will be   installed.

6. Equipment, tools and vehicles for maintenance—requested

7. Rubbish, cutting grass—we believe it can be solved with improved management practices

8. Toilet paper—Better distribution roster required

9. Sign boards need to be replaced or find another alternative

10. Unsightly pipes at Bourke’s Luck—washed down river during a flood.  We offered assistance to recommend individuals with the skills to retrieve and remove them—similar to a rescue operation.

MTPA’s staff assured us that construction, maintenance and repairs at the sites can be conducted without disrupting normal operations.
