ProposalDescription: 

For the proposed development of Portion 247 and 248 of the Farm Rietfontein, 189 IQ | Greengate Ext 102 & 103. Gauteng Province. The proposed development of Portion 247 and Portion 248 of the Farm Rietfontein, 189 IQ, involves the development of; (i) residential dwelling units and residential buildings1 on Portion 247 and, (ii) an educational facility2 as well as residential dwelling units and residential buildings on Portion 248. The proposal involves the development of two (2) separate townships, Greengate extension 102 and 103. These developments aim to serve the growing population as well as the surrounding residential areas within the Mogale City Local Municipality. Necessary roads and services required for the development will also be put in place.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed development is a mixed-use development which includes Educational and Residential-4 uses. This is in line with the Muldersdrift Precinct Plan as it falls within the mixed-use zone area. The mixed land use district will invest in and strengthen existing communities and achieve more balanced regional development and facilitate the provision of a variety of transportation choices. The development is located adjacent to Beyers Naude Drive which is a major arterial and will allow access to necessary transportation to and from work for employees. This is in line with the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Principles. This is especially pertinent in that there are current and future residential components planned in the area and thus there will be a demand for residential orientated land uses that can provide for the needs of these communities. Residential development will complement the proposed business townships eat of the property. The proposed mixed-use development will cater for middle income groups, it will provide employment opportunities and the proposed upgrades to major roads and intersections will ensure effective traffic movement. In addition, from a town planning point of view and in terms of good urban design it is desirable to have mixture of use along Beyers Naude Drive not only to buffer the existing agricultural holdings and farm portions but to support other residential neighbourhood’s both existing and upcoming, to grow certain areas where the need for alternative land use is wanted. Furthermore, the site is currently vacant and degraded, thus proposed development is in line with the Local Municipalities plans for the area, will be beneficial and will allow for the full potential of the area to be met. Lastly the proposed development will provide numerous economic benefits. Firstly, during construction, there will be a direct CAPEX of R65 million. Secondly, 4 900 construction related employment opportunities will be created. During operation, 350 permanent positions will be created. This will also have a number of economic multiplier effects for the local economy.
