<p>In line with the relevant spatial policies, the City aims to optimise the Athlone Stadium Precinct through mixed-use infill development that will drive economic and social growth. To realise this vision, the proposed redevelopment of the subject property and its unique location within the Athlone Stadium Precinct are essential.</p><p>The land currently serves as parking for the Athlone Stadium. However, because the usage of the site rarely reaches full capacity, there is an opportunity to explore potential redevelopment. </p><p>As part of the larger redevelopment plan, we are looking into parking and public transportation options for the entire precinct. This will ensure optimal and continuous operation of the Athlone Stadium Precinct. </p><p>Our decision to move forward with the proposed redevelopment and related transaction is informed by previous public engagements associated with the City's forward-planning policies. The Cape Flats District Plan describes the subject area as a Development Focus Area, which encourages intensification within an already-existing development corridor. </p><p>A Land Use Management (LUM) application was approved in 2023 to allow for the redevelopment of the stadium and to optimise the precinct in accordance with the District Plan. The subject property offers an ideal opportunity for mixed-use development, incorporating ancillary retail and commercial components. </p><p>For more information, visit the
