Ms A Abrahams informed the members that the document is for discussion to consider the proposed transfer of Erf 106637, situated off Jim Francis Road, Newfields, in extent approximately 1 070.86 m² as shown in report lettered ABCD on Plan LIS2198 (Annexure “A”) for a Place of Worship and Instruction.

The Subcouncil Manager Ms Kayise Nombakuse informed the members to the background of the report;

At the June 2019 meeting of Sub-council 11 items 11SUB17/06/2019 and 11SUB18/06/2019 were submitted by Property Management which contained conflicting recommendations for consideration by the Sub-council. Both reports were referred back to the Department for clarification.

Item 11SUB17/06/2019 (RESERVATION OF PORTIONS OF ERVEN 108359 106637 AND 40214 CAPE TOWN: THE DIRECTORATE URBAN MANAGEMENT (AREA CENTRAL)) is for reservation of the designated area for Urban Management Directorate for purposes of urban agriculture.

Item 11SUB18/06/2019 (PROPOSED GRANTING OF IN-PRINCIPLE APPROVAL OF PORTION FOR THE SALE BY PUBLIC COMPETION OF VACANT ERF 106637, 1 JIM FRANCIS ROAD, NEWFIELDS, FOR COMMUNITY PURPOSES.) was submitted for consideration of Sub-council 11 to comment or make further recommendations to Mayco before being resubmitted to Council for an in-principle decision to dispose of the property.

Item 11SUB18/06/2019 had previously served before Sub-council 17 in May 2016 who supported the recommendation of the report that a 2 108m² portion of Erf 106637 be disposed of. At the Council meeting on 31-01-2019 the item was referred back to Sub-council 11 for their consideration.
