The City of Cape Town’s Council approved amendments to the Municipal Planning By-law (MPBL) on 31 October 2019.

The MPBL regulates development and land use in Cape Town. The amendments are part of the City’s annual review process, and give effect to the policies and strategies that have been adopted by Council over the past few years.

The amendments will become effective on Monday, 3 February 2020.

In the meantime, the City will undertake the necessary training of employees in anticipation of the amendments coming into effect, and host information sessions with professionals in the development industry as required.
