City provides update on Table View Beachfront upgrade project

18 January 2025

The City of Cape Town’s Table View Beachfront upgrade project has faced significant challenges in 2024 which has caused delays in the upgrading of civil infrastructure at the Table View Beachfront. The City would like to advise residents that the contractor’s agreement with the City was terminated in November 2024 due to ongoing performance issues and failure to meet construction milestones. Despite efforts to resolve delays, the contractor failed to adhere to the approved schedule and address defaults within the required period, resulting in the termination of the contract. The City has, however, developed a revised plan to ensure the completion of the project. Read more below:

The City will be appointing new contractors through existing City Framework contracts, allowing for a faster mobilisation on-site. Once appointed, the focus of the contractor will be on completing essential elements such as the stormwater outfalls; walkways; parking areas and ablution facilities through structured works packages.

The City is hopeful that work will recommence in April 2025, if all goes according to plan.

‘We can assure residents that the team remains committed to successfully completing the Table View Beachfront upgrades and ensuring that all remaining work is carried out to the highest standards. We assure the public that information around the new project timeline and regular updates on the project will be communicated through the local Ward Councillors, Sub-Councils and via the media. We share the frustration of the residents and thank all for their patience in the execution of this project,’ said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
