Cape Town City Council has launched a project that will see some seven-thousand-500 flats and houses currently being rented by residents receiving a total make-over upgrading and maintenance.
“The funding has received conditional approval under the Community Residential Units Housing Programme”, says Councillor Dan Plato.According to Plato this is Phase 1 of a project that will finally see the entire City’s 43 500 rental properties across Cape Town receiving attention.
Some of the areas which are to be upgraded are:
>Connaught Estate Flats, Elsies River
>Scottsdene Flats, Oostenberg
>Uitsig Houses, Elsies River
>Woodlands Flats, Woodlands, Mitchells Plain
>Kewtown Flats, Kewtown, Athlone
>Hanover Park Flats, Hanover Park
>Heideveld Flats, Heideveld
>Manenberg Flats, Manenberg
>Marble Flats, Ottery
“The first phase of the project will include a detailed assessment of the block of flats to find out what type of repair and upgrading work needs to be done. The maintenance team will then do the necessary construction work, as well as repainting and improving the general appearance of the units”, he added.
Plato goes on saying the City will soon put the project out to tender and planning for the project will start in July 2008.
“Phase 1 is expected to take three years to complete. Planning for Phases 2 and 3 will commence during this period”, says Plato.
