Reclaim the City holding back on Salt River Market site rezoning celebration CapeTimesSA

Cape Town – “We will only celebrate when we see ground being broken and doors go on hinges.” These were the words of civic organisation, Reclaim the City when reacting to mayor Dan Plato’s announcement that the Salt River Market site was approved for the development of affordable housing.

“We welcome every milestone in the development of affordable public housing in well-located areas. But we will celebrate when we see ground being broken and doors going on hinges. We need thousands of new homes like Salt River Market. Plato said the decision was a landmark, “crucial towards identifying affordable and well-located land close to the city centre and other urban centres across the metro”. The developer now has a five-year period to act on the rights, the City said.It permits the construction of buildings between 25 and 38m in height with the inclusion of a carriageway to allow for street parking on Bromwell Street and access from Foundry Road.

“I resigned from the DA and from council over the DA’s initial resistance to this development and their decision to withdraw the project from the council agenda in October last year,” said Herron.
