<span> <h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span> <p>We manage informal trading in Cape Town. </p><p> The <a href="http://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Bylaws%20and%20policies/Informal%20Trading%20By-law.pdf" target="_blank">Informal Trading By-law </a>assists us to declare an informal trading plan for any place or area within our control. The plan identifies dedicated, restricted or prohibited areas for informal trading in that place or area. </p><p> Informal trading in the Atlantis area is currently governed by an Informal Trading Plan dated 11 December 2015 (<a href="https://lawlibrary.org.za/akn/za-wc/officialGazette/provincial-gazette/2015-12-11/7544/eng%402015-12-11" target="_blank">Provincial Gazette number 7544<i class="icon link-external"></i></a>). We have identified that the existing trading plan is outdated and needs to be revised and updated due to the economic changes in the area. </p><p> Approval from Council is required as part of the process before any area can be defined as an informal trading plan area. </p><p> In terms of section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments to the municipality in respect of the draft revised informal trading plan. </p><p> <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20strategies%2c%20plans%20and%20frameworks/Atlantis-Draft-Informal-Trading-Plan.pdf" target="_blank">Access the draft revised informal trading plan</a>. </p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Open day</h2></span> <p>All interested and affected parties are invited to attend the following open day session to submit comments and find out more about the draft plan:<br> </p><table style="width:547px;"><thead><tr><th style="width:143px;">Date</th><th style="width:120px;">Time</th><th>Venue</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="width:143px;">10 February 2026</td><td style="width:120px;">11:00 - 16:00</td><td> <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Explore%20and%20enjoy/See-all-city-facilities/our-service-facilities/Libraries/Wesfleur%20Public%20Library">Wesfleur Public Library</a><br>Wesfleur Circle<br>Atlantis</td></tr></tbody></table> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Comment period</h2></span> <p>Submit your comments from <strong>27 January – 10 March 2026</strong>. </p> <span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Submit your comment</h2></span> <p>Comments may be submitted via the following channels:</p><p> <strong>Online </strong> <br> <a href="https://web1.capetown.gov.za/web1/websitefeedback/?id=d9a8e32b-4d89-444b-b883-96e7fafb5f5e" target="_blank">Submit your comments online</a>.</p><p> <strong>Delivery </strong> <br>Deliver your written comments by hand to the following address during office hours (Monday – Friday, 08:00 – 15:00):</p><p> <em> <a href="https://web1.capetown.gov.za/web1/councilhubonline/subcouncilprofile?subcouncilid=1" target="_blank">Subcouncil 1 office</a></em><br><em>Cnr Grosvenor and Hermes Ave</em><br><em>Saxonsea </em> <br> <em>Atlantis </em></p> <span> <div class="notification with-heading dark-copy pink bg-light-grey"><div class="graphic with-border"> <i class="info note"></i> </div><div class="desc"><h4>Please note</h4><p>Our Public Participation Unit will assist you if you would like to submit comments but have a disability or are unable to read or write.
