While construction work continues on the new Green Point Stadium, work on the reconstruction of the traffic circle at the intersection with Western Boulevard, and the reconfiguration of Green Point Common, is also on schedule.

The raised traffic circle will allow for a pedestrian underpass which will enable people to walk to and from the adjacent stadium.

The R129m project is on track for completion in March next year.
Meanwhile, work on the upgrading and reconfiguration of the 85-hectare site of the Green Point Common is also far advanced.

When the project is completed, the common will accommodate several sporting codes and public recreation areas, including a new golf course, improved transport infrastructure and a 12,5-hectare Urban Park in the south-east corner.

The entire park and the green open spaces are being re-landscaped at a total cost of about R310 million. This figure includes roadworks (R98 million) and stormwater drainage (R15 million).

After 2010, an eco centre is proposed that would feature a biodiversity garden with information on Cape Town’s unique flora and fauna. Other possibilities being investigated are a tea garden, a trimpark and a skateboard park.

As part of the legacy left by the World Cup, the overall theme will be the promotion of "green" and sustainable living habits in the city.

Water for the ponds on the common will be sourced mainly from the Oranjezicht springs and from rainwater collected off the inward-sloping stadium roof.
