  1. KINGS ESTATE PROPOSED WEWE DRIEFONTEIN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON PORTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4 AND 7 ALL OF THE FARM WEWE NO. 17825 NEAR TONGAAT. Presentation on City Comments on EIA process to DCM’s forum 29 August 2012

  2. SPATIAL PLANNING

  3. Northern Spatial Development Plan • Coastal, Urban and Rural Corridor • Future land uses - 2030 and beyond • New linkages - western bypass • Urban Development Line • Phasing of land release • Infrastructure Response

  4. Red: Lack of infrastructure will be a “showstopper” Release for Development of Priority Areas North Orange: Development can take place following some “simple” interventions Tongaat Residential Tongaat Industrial Green: Development can, in principle, occur immediately, as there is capacity available Dube Trade Port Canelands Redcliffe Cornubia Bridge City

  5. Northern Urban Development Corridor (NUDC) Corridor Coastal Urban Rural New alignment of UDL Cost surface model Functional linkages Topography Efficiencies (services, public transport, financial, sustainability) NORTHERN CORRIDORS R102 N2 Tongaat RURAL Airport Verulam Phoenix URBAN (NUDC) Gateway KwaMashu COASTAL N2 R102

  6. NUDC OPPORTUNITY AREAS KwaMashu Verulam Phoenix New R102 Tongaat N2 Airport N2 Gateway R102 EXISTING ULTIMATE URBAN CORRIDOR (10,500ha) Source: NUDC Study, 2010 Areas rounded to nearest 50ha

  7. Unlocking Development Dube Trade Port Landuse Phase 1 Bulk Infrastructure Proposed Sewers for Housing Projects NUDC Phase 1 Mixed Light/Service Industry (60ha) Commercial (10ha) Residential (3 750) NUDC Phase 1 Industrial General Industry (100ha) Proposed DTP Sewer Proposed Phase 1 Section of Eastern Bypass Proposed Sewer Extension

  8. PROPOSED WEWE DRIEFONTEIN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON PORTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4 AND 7 ALL OF THE FARM WEWE NO. 17825 NEAR TONGAAT. eThekwini KwaDukuza Western bypass Dudley Pringle Dam Noordsberg Road

  9. Situated on the R614 (Noordsberg road) 7.5 km from KSIA / DTP 48% of area within eThekwini Municipality Agricultural land and rural character Limited industrial development Outside of Town Planning Scheme Has municipal and ESKOM electricity No sewage reticulation or sewage works on or near the site Large number of wetlands traverse the site Petronet pipeline traverses the site In close proximity to Sibudu Cave on South Western Portion – a site of extreme archaeological significance LOCALITY AND CONTEXT

  10. Residential - inclusionary housing Low income KwaDukuza Housing Scheme low, social and affordable housing options (Approx. 650 units) eThekwini Housing Opportunity affordable, middle and high income (Approx. 1000-1200) Freehold, cluster, sectional title and apartments Residential Nodes – approx 2500 to 3000 residential opportunities No of units to be confirmed during the EIA process Commercial – 5.73 ha Agricultural Units – 36.8ha Private Open Space Activity Zone - office, business and residential mix – 17.7ha Light Industrial 58.35ha General Industrial - 90ha Conservation Areas Bulk Infrastructure – in discussion with the relevant municipalities – will consider recycling options for water and waste water services Electrical supply exists but limited Traffic Impact Assessment underway 96 000 permanent jobs GGP of R48.7 billion R265m in rates Phasing of development over 20 yrs Source – Final Environmental Scoping Report : February 2011 Proposal

  11. Mixed use development Western by pass Provincial Road

  12. Application Process • Process • Pre-submission • Meeting with Framework Planning officials • Presentation to TIKZN, Ilembe and eThekwini officials • Presentation to eThekwini Officials (all sectors) • EIA • Draft Scoping Report – circulated in 2010 • Final Scoping Report circulated in 2011 • Outstanding information • No further information received to date • awaiting TIA • Awaiting Specialist reports and finalisation of EIA • Awaiting resolution of waste water • Awaiting revision of land uses

  13. Summary of issues Decision required on allocation of waste water capacity to development outside of EM Clarity on access issues on provincial roads and developers dependence on the Western by-pass for future access? • Concerns raised by numerous departments have not been addressed by the applicant • Land uses mix – needs to be revised (wet vs dry industry, housing development on unstable land) • EIA specialist reports outstanding • TIA still outstanding

  14. Way forward • What are the possible infrastructure solutions ? • Own treatment works on site? • Upgrade of city treatment works ? • Allocate unused municipal capacity (in agreement with private sector) • Recycling options • Cost sharing / partnerships ? • KwaDukuza to provide WW services • Review land use mix (dry industry, location of eThekwini subsidised housing opportunities) • All outstanding information info req so full assessment can be made
