PROGRESSIVE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE: JULY 2020
Ward 48
Mr Ismail of Facilities Management reported that the development at the Turfhall Stadium is temporary office accommodation for Subcouncil 11. He said that they met with the consultants and have received their quotation and that they were waiting for the final PO. He informed the meeting that they have a contractor appointed as well and contractor will commence once the PO is created.
Ald Cavanagh wanted to know whether the structure was collapsible and what is in place regarding security. He said that vandalism and break-ins occurred on that property on a regular basis and now that an extra asset is being built, it might become more vulnerable to excessive vandalism and theft.
Mr Ismail responded that the temporary office space can be moved and that the property on Turfhall is enclosed. He said that he notes the Ald Cavanagh’s concern regarding the security and said that they will look at the security aspect again.
Mr Rigby of Transport reported that they do not have a tender available yet. He said once the tender is in place, they will start. He said that the ward allocation projects were small and easily achievable.
CPX.0015776-F2 Regional Recreation Hubs: Ms Hedley of Recreation and Parks informed the meeting that they are looking at recreational facilities that can host major sporting events. The idea is to make it into a formal and informal recreational hub to get residents to use these facilities as well. They are currently liaising with the different stakeholders. There are five facilities identified and Vygieskraal Stadium is one of these facilities, which fall under ward 48. She said that Vygieskraal has been chosen as the pilot of the programme. She said a professional team will be appointed to look at the facility and how to give it a face lift. They have been doing stakeholder engagements and with some of the federations and sporting stakeholders as to what they need and how to workshop that at the facility.
Ald Cavanagh said that this was very good news as most of these kind of facilities lacked these interactions. He said that he was glad that the vision the department is embarking on to make the facility into a bigger hub, is much needed. He said that he looks forward to a more in depth presentation with the proposals that they come up with.
