The site consists of a portion of the remainder of Erf 367, Erf 617 and some unregistered state land. To the east of the site is Strand Street; to the west is Tana Baru cemetery; and to the south is Jami’a Masjid.
“We have been collaborating with the local community and stakeholders since 2023 on a shared vision for this important site. I am elated to say that we have now reached a pivotal moment where the land use application for the proposed redevelopment is advertised in terms of the City’s Municipal Planning By-law. The application makes provision for phased implementation over time, and by different role-players,” said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
“I encourage residents and interested parties to submit their comments. We are eager to receive your input as part of this statutory process.”
