The eight District Spatial Development Plans & Environmental Management Frameworks

In August 2009 the City of Cape Town invited the public to comment on draft district plans for Cape Town. Based on this public input the City has revised these plans and is now providing a final opportunity for public comment.

These District Plans when finalised will be approved by Council as Structure Plans in terms of section 4(10) of the Land Use Planning Ordinance no 15 of 1985. The Environmental Management Frameworks will be submitted to the Provincial Minister for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in terms of Regulation 5 of the Environmental Management Framework Regulations, 2010 (Government Notice No. R. 547 of 18 June 2010), for consideration and adoption, in concurrence with the National Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs.

The final draft District Plan relevant to your area, will be available for public inspection from Friday 1 April 2011 at your local library, sub-council offices and the City’s Planning & Building Development Management Department’s district offices.

In terms of Regulation 3(2) of the Environmental Management Framework the Provincial Minister for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning hereby invites comments and representations on these draft Frameworks.

The closing date for comment on the final draft District Plans is 30 June 2011.

These final draft District Plans can be downloaded here:
Blaauwberg, Cape Flats, Helderberg, Khayelitsha Mitchells Plain, Northern, Southern, Table Bay, Tygerberg.

Stakeholder open days will take place in the districts in April 2011 where the revised draft proposals of the relevant District Plans will be presented and discussed. A schedule of these open days is available here.
