Western Cape Transport and Public Works MEC Robin Carlisle announced that all public transport matters will now be handled at the municipal level.

Carlisle presented his R5.7 billion budget and said it would help create more work opportunities in the province.

Meanwhile, a R4.5 billion urban regeneration project has been launched to expand the Cape Town International Convention Centre on the Foreshore.

The funds will come from the CTICC, the City of Cape Town and the provincial government.

The expansion includes retail space, a hospital, an office tower, numerous basement parking bays, as well as the regeneration of Founder’s Garden.

The partners say the expansion will drive job creation in the City and the province.
