Goodwood residents have blamed the City for
Cape Town of not listening to them, regarding the approval of the City’s ‘C40
Reinventing Cities Programme.’
A month ago, the City chamber endorsed the
proposition for four underused City-possessed locales to be made accessible to
the private division for carbon-neutral, mixed-used development as a feature of
this overall rivalry.
However, the Goodwood Ratepayers' Association
said that in spite of the fact that they had raised worries with the City, the
improvement would forge on.
The City has distinguished Tygerdal site at the
Monte Vista station in Goodwood, for development. It is believed that the land
is underused and near significant retail and business focuses.
The proposed sites that the City intends to
develop, includes Athlone station car park, Kapteinsklip, as well as the Mouquet
Farm in Diep River.
Mayco member for spatial planning and
environment, Marian Nieuwoudt assured that once the C40 Reinventing Cities
competition has been launched, the City will then call on the private sector
and interested parties to submit development proposals for the sites. Nieuwoudt
is hoping it would bring affordable housing opportunities, amongst others.
