Pre-application consultations are necessary to ensure that what you — as an applicant/developer/land owner — envision on your property fits with the future growth of a sustainable City. Pre-application consultations ensure sustainable development within the City of Cape Town through cooperative consultation with developers and consultants.<br></p></div> | <span>
